Sexy.

I'm really digging the Nanite Systems art.

[Shogun]

looks really nice!
just lacking salty nuts!

2 guns are always better than 1! Do we know if that's generic of if its AA/AI/AV?

[Kran De Loy]

By the angle, shape and dual barrels I would assume it's AA.
I agree tho, I'd like some confirmation too.

Honestly I would love to see a turret with missile pods. That would be perfect AA, AI and AV.
Edit, excuse me. Rocket Pods. Missiles I'm told are typically more bulky and not usually suited for a complex pod launcher. :/

These things are manned anyway, right?

[Talek Krell]

We've seen the base turrets in some form before right? I think they identified the type in those three pictures.

Close enough.

:D

[Gogita]

What a shame though that they removed entering animations from PS2... Just imagine how awesome it would look to enter this beast!

[Shogun]

who asked for rocket pods?

I don't really like how they removed entry/exit animations...

[Hamma]

That's for another thread! :lol:

They didn't "remove" them. And the Devs know that we want them to be created. So with enough encouragement they might use the resources necessary to make the animations.

Just be aware that the time spent on this fluff is taking away from the content patches.

Wonder if there are turret specialisations?

I love rocking a base turret and holding off the hordes. My main issue with stationary turrets is they become nothing more than a minor setback on the way into the base. Very rarely do turrets offer a substantial deterant, or even if they do.... they just become a larger threat for everyone to gang up on and get rid of quicker.

I propose a shield boost you can activate while manning the turret, upping its survivablity while manned by players. Also giving the turret operator a chance to hold out while they get healed, or forcing attackers to back off while the turret is invincible.

It wouldnt be enough to cripple the game, but would be enough so you can jam it on when 2 tanks have you in their sights, and maybe make them panic or atleast some leeway beyond "ditch and run".

Are you kidding? Fluff is freaking delicious. I want fluff. I love being fluffed.

Entry/exit animations *are* content!

[Brusi]

I sense the development of a constant on PSU...

Namely, the closer that a thread created to discuss any PS2 related topic gets to page count value X, the higher the probability that it will be derailed into discussing entry and exit animations.

Exponentially.

See? Back on track.

I hope... =)

Is this turret against infantry or aircrafts ?

[Sledgecrushr]

It looks to me like an anti aircraft turret. It would be really awesome to dial in at what altitude the flak explodes.

[Hmr85]

Is this turret against infantry or aircrafts ?

My guess is a AV/AA Turret. I would expect to see AI turrets with chain guns on them.

[Knocky]

Come on guys, look through the media link sometimes.

The turrets were revealed 2 months ago.

Not gonna waste Hamma's bandwidth by posting the pix....just the links.

Click on em.

Wow, those turrets really look badass in game.
And indeed, it seems like they are AA turrets.

FIFY!

This seems to be a suitable location to post something that should have been posted a while ago.
