Definitely, the lack of orange is disturbing. And the helmets themselves look a little "Star Ship Trooper"esque. Still, they said customization plays a huge role in the game so this is just the base model, I'm sure we'll be able to tweak it to our liking.

I do like the attention to detail on the armor itself though. The individual little hexes on the armor look really cool and I have to say I really like the spiker shoulder pads.

I'm pleased to see the Beamer makes a return as well. Let's hope for more stuff during the week!


I also enjoyed T-Ray's VS rap at the end. Perhaps next AGN you could have him on and as the kids say "lay down some beats" for him?

Vs look amazing although I won't be wearing the helmet lol

The materials on the VS armor are insane! :O I liked how the TR used carbon fiber here and there, but this? Just WOW! It does make NC armor look very primitive (as in "less attention to detail"), though. Hopefully their armor gets some nice treatment materials-wise, like the dented bits could be more shiny than the painted ones etc.

Still hate the bloody VS, though! They just make shinier targets now. :P

Nice!

[CrystalViolet]

totally agree about the visors needing to be orange. Otherwise, the armor is pure sex.

[FIREk]

I'm not sure I like the part about damage degradation, though, unless this becomes apparent at really long ranges. Not over 100 meters or so, where a Cycler, for instance, would suffer no bullet drop, and thus be 100% effective, but a Pulsar would only do like 75% damage.

I liked the idea of slower projectiles, though. Guess we'll work it out during beta.

I also hope this doesn't make the VS statistically Uber in close quarters, assuming their weapons are a lot easier to control without recoil.

All factions should have equal capabilities, only with different flavors of "equal".

[Marth Koopa]

Are those guys going on the Tour de France or what? I never liked the agile helmet.

BUT OH MAH GAWD DAT ARMOR, I needs it!

[FIREk]

Also, the term "manned flight vehicle" was used. Does this mean there will be unmanned vehicles? Probably just recon UAVs like those from BF3, but still that's something that hasn't been suggested yet, I think.

[FastAndFree]

What was that about April 15?


Also

The Vanu Sovereignty manned flight vehicle, the Scythe rules the sky with maneuverability and agility. It uses the magnetic field of the planet Auraxis to move in ways other conventional aircraft can not.
