Is it on YouTube ?

[Fenrys]

Did anyone record it? I'd like to download it all at once since my ISP is too slow to stream it in real time.

Did the sound cut out when they put up a SS in the live stream, too? Or is that just in the recording?

Edit: Nevermind, seems they fixed it.

There were a couple of audio issues that we are looking into. Hopefully resolved by our next webcast.

No Thumper... no Lancer... literally the worst day of PlanetSide 2 news.

Fairly happy with that. Got a nice mental image of a group of maxes busting in the doors with dual flamethrowers.

"Wanna turn up the heat?"

[Shogun]

nice info on the show - but i was a little disappointed that we got no info bout the flamethrower.
we already were kind of sure it will attatch to a max from the picture.
what we wanted to know was, what kind of flamethrower we will get.

will it be like the hairspraycan with a lighter, that only does a low range puff of flames (like in most older shooters) or will it shoot a mediumrange stream of burning fluid that does a nasty splash where it hits the floor, setting everything on fire?(including the thin line on the floor between the max and the target)

i would love the burning stream of fluid much more, because the lowrange firespray just feels like a shotgun with a little more eyecandy.

if it´s the firespray, will the fire at least use physics in some way? to be able to blow out full rooms like with the private ryan bunkersweeper?

best solution would be both options as 2 firemodes, much like the original ps1 dragon, but with the stream instead of the mystical fireorb.
