this is a photoshop of that original with the landing gear up.

could be tweaked abit visual, but i remember them saying that Vehicles will have customized loadout(s)

so in a wild guess, that could be the same chasis but with a couple of components installed making both reaver's different.

the new-new reaver = noticed the mini-chaingun on the bottom, could be for anti-infantry/veh purposes including two missle racks for anti ground vehicles.

the new-old reaver= maybe the two large components on either side of the cockpit could be missle containers for Air vs. Air confrontations (ala wasp)
and the smaller looking nozzle on the bottom would be also for Air vs. Air bullets? (shame on me if not making sense)

The NC guns are HUGE, and look way out of proportion. Tone it down to 90% original size, keep the idea that it is big, loose the fact that it is too large.

Edit: Maybe as far as 80%...

Possible Vanu weapons?


Interesting that the flash hider or whatever it is at the end of the NC rifle is pointed down, thus increasing the amount of muzzle flip when the weapon is fired.

Some AK's were designed with the opposite idea in mind: actually REDUCING muzzle flip.



The relatively rare "shovel nose" AK's had the flash hider cut away so the gases would be propelled a bit more upwards than downwards to reduce climb when firing in fully automatic.

Evidently the NC are so macho they have the muzzle rise increased.

Surprised they went with the raw firepower design for them again. Since to me that always seemed like it offers a distinct advantage in FPS. Though I guess if they are going with a faster TTK CoD approach this time then it wont be as much an advantage as it was before. Since spray an pray will be stronger.

If the Reaver is only for NC then i'm now curious what Air vehicle is Vanu specific.

Higby/T-Ray, we have seen concept art/snapshots of the MAX suits and some vehicles but when are we going to get the 3D character modeling for them? I am stoked for all of our weapons and armor but I want more on my MAX and Vanguard!

coming real soon

...I just realized that armor looks like football padding painted gold and blue.

That's just how NC rolls. *Middle of a football game* "What? We're going to war? Game over, bros. We gotta' go kill shit." *Busts out the paint* "Suit up!"

so, the TR are like England, the NC are like the Americans, trying to win freedom from the TR, and the VS are like the Japanese, with they're electronics and make out parties?

VS are Ze germans, Supier tech and the master race, but the technology is untested and clearly faulty for war conditions...eg: tiger tank, aka: mag.

Also, TR = republic and NC = Rebels...ITS STAR WARS PEOPLE!.

Would the base the case if it was a gauss rifle still though? i would have thought there would be relitivly little kickback...though newton may have another theory.
