Just a short time ago Matt Higby tweeted a new image that shows the level of customization on a vehicle, specifically in this case the Magrider.
As pointed out on Twitter, the middle one has a Headlight as well as a Hood Ornament! Head on over to the comments to discuss. Also please note, Higby mentioned that there are some temporary assets in this image.
As always check out the full sized image in our Twitter Media Library!

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders I just had a thought. If we have this much customization for camo on vehicles....how much will we have for camo on infantry? |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders Hopefully none, otherwise might as well scrap empire colors right now. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders Not neccessarily. All those Mags still have some VS color on them. I'm thinking they could just replace the gray on the uniforms (of which there is alot) with different kinds of camo. You'd still have the same amount of empire colors, right? |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders I don't think the camo on infantry will be nearly as prevalent in PS2. Maybe on snipers (there you go, a not-quite-cloaking cloak,) and maybe somewhat on everyone else, at least on any exposed fatigues. The actual armor might remain unchanged. Then we have to consider Empire/Outfit pride. Some people will proudly display their colors, even if it practically makes them glow in the dark. |

Customizable = Good Game Hearing this news makes me think classes won't be as restrictive to free form gameplay as was previously thought. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders The impression I get is that we will have more restrictions on customization, but also more options to choose from. If done well, this will actually encourage diversity, as the devs will be able to carefully balance the variables so that as many things as possible are useful. It will be different from PS1 and as always, let's reserve final judgement until we see it for ourselves, but I have high hopes that PS2's customization will be just as robust as PS1 and far more diverse. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders I see a lot of people are worried about the main gun being fixed forward. I can tell you that im sure thats not going to be a problem. I played BF2142 and used the tank with the fixed gun in that game. Its a different play style that you have to learn but it does work really well. I also saw someone post that the Magrider will be at a disadvantage while running away because only one gun can cover the retreat. All the tanks will be at a disadvantage in some way. Try driving away while firing your gun backwards. Your tank is going to end up in a tree which will result in you being destroyed. I remember plenty of times running my lightning into rocks and trees while trying to manuever and fire at the same time. I think some else posted about the magrider with only a driver being at a disadvantage because he wont have a gunner to shoot while running away. Well, all I can say is you should have a gunner. I expect one man tanks to be at a disadvantage and rightfully so. Planetside is about teamwork. So get a gunner. @Higby You guys are doing an awesome job. Thanks for all the information and pics you send to the community. It gives me faith that PS2 wont be abandoned like PS. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders Anyone else notice that the NC get plaid work shirts under their armor? That was almost enough to sell me on NC right there. I can't imagine pink glowing Vanu tights being more appealing, somehow. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders rite rite hold on, ive been quiet for a while but im gona have to say something, Firstly (off topic) To Protean/partizan or whatever your name is  , this site has has a big following of PS, PS2, the people behind it and SOE. Therefore if you come along and the first thing you do is flame, well they gona kick your head in m8.And they did and you got banned. Should of stuck in there without insulting people even if you where insulted, and you point would of been heard, instead of been brushed under the carpet. I stuck round even tho folks thought I was a troll, and im still here. Thing is to crack the code m8, dont try and break it. (on topic) Ok thats that over, but now the real reason I posted. I hear alot of you discussing the mags main gun, and how it could be bad. ARE YOU ON CRACK?  The Mag is the main gun, it has 360 degree rotation, and it can hover in every direction. Therefore it has much more maneuverability than all the tanks. It isnt a problem, as a 100% vanu, the tank is perfect focusing on tech rather than punch. You just try get over a pond with any other  Morto. |

Re: Higby Tweets Customized Magriders Most people look at the new Magrider situation as something which will be very easy to screw up (which it is). I look at it like this: It's the MBT of one of the empires. If they screw up the aiming of the main gun, they screw up the entire effectiveness of one of the most important vehicles. Since this is not an option, they will have to get it right. If they get it right, the Magrider will be awesome. Thus, no real reason to worry. |
