Tunnel Entrance in spawn room:

Tunnel Exit inside amp station:

The tunnels have "Jump pads" inside to shoot you from one side to another.

Edit: The tunnels go from the Spawn Room into the spawn generator room at the Amp Station (in this case)

So where does this Tunnel lead to?

From the spawn room to near the spawn generator in the amp station.

Tunnels are a bit disappointing and look tacked on, but at least it's a start. I'm not too fond of the man-cannon approach to it, we may as well have had teleporters like the tech plant used to.

Hopefully they'll add-on to the tunnels in the future to serve more of a purpose with indoor fighting or something along those lines.

I like how some people are shocked at the idea the tunnels can still be "camped", as though that was never going to be the case anyway.

Hurray! Also I like the gravlift solution - the exit is vulnerable to C4, mines and grenades, but on the other hand prevents bottlenecking without creating "defensive camping".

EDIT: Gravlift*, not jumppad.

Not sure why, but I love how the little battery thing on the VS SMG keeps spinning when the battery itself is taken out for the reload.

Also, you can't see from the pictures but there are animations on the SMGs, more than any other weapon in the game atm.

Those tunnels look horrible. Really feels like a rush job. But it is a start, and I hope that when they are tested for a few weeks and it turns out the change was for the better, that they put some more effort in how the tunnels look.

I said this in chat during the stream and I'll say it here.

The 1st pass on tunnels is just defender only, we are trying to see how they play. What the players do, how they use them. After we have that info we can look into more tunnels, different tunnels, attacker tunnels etc. Just remember this is the first iteration.

You guys were beta players, you saw many first iterations on lots of things, you also saw us systematically tune and tweak first iterations to become better versions.

Hopefully this clears things up about the tunnels.

I understand where you're coming from. The main problem is probably that this wasn't known from the start and we all had our expectations up.
A lot of people feel that a 'infantry only' area is missing (not counting the biolab, as they're pretty much camp teleporter/spawnlabs at the moment, the new spawn/teleporter rooms are looking sexy, though) and hoped that the announced tunnels would be that.
As of now they just give the impression of cumbersome teleporters.

Actually, this was said in the first announcement that tunnels were coming.

I hear ya, honestly I did not know a lot about them because we all work on different things. I didn't work on them so I didn't know the design 100% for a little while.

I'm just here to let you know our intentions.
