Looks like the jump packs didn't save them. And now one of them is falling to his knees begging to join the Vanu after witnessing their greatness.

Hehe but seriously its almost jarring this time around how much more high tech the Vanu looks compared to the NC. Vanu looks like some Japanese Anime Gundam pilot. And the NC guys look like they are getting ready to play Paintball.

So what do you guys think? VS Heavy Assault?

To date, all the non-HA armors were the Standard uniform/armor with various amounts of extra chest and limb armor. This one is completely different, though.

My theory is that, while NC and TR need their bulky, powered armor to haul around their relatively primitive, heavy MCGs and Jackhammers, the Lasher and other VS HA weapons are made out of lightweight materials and don't require any powered armor to carry and use.

That, or the VS "ReXO" features some crazy-ass artificial muscles for the "powered" (the leg armor looks thicker, which could prove this), along with efficient, lightweight, intelligently hardening/energy-dissipating materials for the "armor".

I'm kind of thinking WH40k Craftworld Eldar mesh armor, as far as the latter part goes.

i think it will still be the equivalent to the TR armour we have been seen getting around with the extra plating on it....or is that still light armour, just without the jetpack?

The VS amours i imagine would be smaller, but they will still want to be of a similar comparable size as the other factions equivalent armour for identification purposes by the other faction, they cant have all VS light - heavy as a similar silhouette.

god dam that armour looks like sex though, i love the carbon fibre type look and the rubber spandex, the purple shine and the scaled pattern on the shoulders. That hex pattern allover the armour looks pretty pimp too. the chest symbol seems kinda odd though.

The chest is the only thing I have a problem with too, I'm mainly looking at the VS symbol... In an honest opinion of mine, the symbol needs to be proportionate to the one on his shoulder, currently it just looks weird.

Shiny.

Now where's my fucking light armor helmet?

lol

But seriously that's awesome.

VS > TR > NC as far as looks go so far.

In PS1 I probably would have said VS > NC > TR

I always liked TR a little more than NC though, so that change is fine by me.

SKYeXile · 2011-11-19, 11:04 PM

everybody will start as VS or TR because they look pimp...then switch to NC when they see all their weapons are OP.

The Vanu look the best by far. Awesome job!

I think the PS1 VS ReXO was slightly less bulky than the NC and TR ones, so I'm going to stick to my theory for now.

Also, consider the MAX concept art, and how the VS MAX looks totally slim compared to its NC and TR counterparts. Hell, huge pauldrons aside, the VS MAX is of comparable bulk to the TR Heavy Assault!

Of course we're comparing concepts to actual assets here, but you get my point.

Also, T-Ray tweeted that we'll get another screenie next week, but with the recent blast of updates, that doesn't come as a surprise.

I don't know if it's all them, or if everything from lunch pics to hi-res screens is all quietly orchestrated by SOE's PR guys, but I don't care. These guys are teh best.

Wow, an uncloaked Vanu cloaker kicked that much Yeehaw redneck NC buttox.

Or they were having a worship service and all the NC fell down under the power.

1 Samuel 19
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

The Vanu Empire. Accepting proselytes daily!
