Looks like a MAX unit on the right and some sort of aircraft that's landed, I think it looks like a mossie...

I can see it now! New physics engine allows for and includes those oafish TR and VS tripping and stumbling over the rocks and pebbles, while NC vanguards crush them to pieces!

Oh, and that NC isn't dead - its an elaborate cloaker ruse - he'll pop up and cap'em all soon. You'll see.... any second now...................

Looks like someone is doing an extreme limbo competition.
On the edge of a 100ft drop, in the middle of a battle zone... extreme limbo.

It's unfortunate that those pictures are in such a small resolution. I wish they were larger so we could see more detail, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. I'm more than happy to see some new screenshots, despite how there's really nothing new in them.

Yea I was laughing at their situational awareness too

Heaven · 2011-07-19, 11:29 AM

And if thats a tower its huge!

But nice find anyway

I believe jetpacks as a mean of vertical transportation (more like "hay, ima hop on top of that tower", not like "ima fly from one base to another") were sorta confirmed, but so that you would not be able to have heavy armor or weapons to go with it, for example.

As for projectile weapons, isnt that what most weapons (at least for NC and TR) have been in PS too?

Perhaps the warp gate isnt inactive (we've seen concept art and now some screenies where they are all "inactive") but they simply removed the bubble around it?

The jet-pack idea is cool. I played a lot of Tribes 1 and 2.

Yeah, the projectile weapons were in PS, but this game is different and I was just pointing it out for confirmation purposes in the new game. Those rifles remind me somewhat of my M4 build. Like a flat top upper receiver.

Coreldan · 2011-07-19, 11:35 AM

Overall I like the "realistic"'ish some of the weapons (except VS again...

) seem to have. Like the "basic" NC and TR rifles we've seen so far seem like things that could actually be issued to the masses.

You vaguely see what look like glowing lights on the sides of the warpgate. Also, perhaps the bubble doesn't render at the extreme range or perhaps it's more transparent this time around.

Still, it's very cool to see the warpgates in the background of the battlefield. In PS1 they were sort of secluded and far away from the main fight. Seeing one in the distance over a mountain while you're fighting is very cool

Higby said in the panel I believe that infantry thrusters would not be as powerful as MAX jump-jets, and would be used mostly to pass hazardous terrain

Great stuff!

They look like ports for enigeers to place turrets, hopefully they'll be a lot of different turret variants to customize!.
