you're aware the magrider energy shots will simply dissipate on the NC's armour and their shots will penetrate our armour and kill the driver in 1 hit yea?

Balanced.

Are you periodically taking (as much as you have time to see) what we talk about here into consideration and discussing it internally and just not ready to respond to the majority of it?

I know that you all have confidentiality agreements and nobody wants anyone to risk getting reprimanded but I guess it still feels like we are in the dark about the majority of the game especially given the complexity of its predecessor and the even bigger potential you are now working with. That said, we all definitely appreciate your active participation with the community thus far and I for one am excited to give SOE another shot at this awesome concept. I believe in all of you.

we mainly talk mostly about the things that have been pretty much solidified. anything that is still in flux, I tend not to talk about. And then theres marketing that wants to release info and assets on a schedule. you have to understand that this is Sony and the fact that we are allowed to share all the things we have so far is amazing.

Hence my second paragraph. I am regularly amazed at how accessible you guys are and the increased flow of information lately compared to a just a few weeks/months ago despite reporting a vague timetable for general release and moot about Beta. As long as there is enough regular information coming out to spur the discussion around here then we should be able to stay distracted enough to wait for more.

I'm loving these NC Facts Higby, keep 'em coming! We may be a bunch of drunks but what does that tell you about the people playing for the other empires if a bunch of wasted rebels can still kick their asses? Nothing like drinking a beer in one hand and wiping the field on the 150mm with the other!

Ok 1: NC Ultramarines.... Excellent!

2: Freaking love the NC screen shots.

3. Love more vanguards. From the 2 you see in these photos (1 screen left, 2nd between 2 soldiers) I definitely am liking the artistic course they are taking.

4. Weapon-Loaded Reaver looks fantastic. Reminds me of a cross between an apache and a fighter jet. Im wondering if they will have different varieties of rocket pods (single fire, barrage, hellstorm). As well as the underslung rotary gun. Which probably can be configured to rip threw armor or infantry..... What would be sick was if you could link all 3 weapon systems together for a solid blitz of munitions. A literally wall of projectiles...... Jackhammer style =)

5. Comparing the 2 new pics together I would almost venture to say that the Gauss Rifle being carried by the jump trooper and the foot slogger is actually just a standard assault (non-heavy) Gauss Rifle. Because we know jump troopers will be a light agile only troop with medium weapons. And he and the ground pounder are carrying what seems to be the same gun. So if I am right, what we have before us may just be a Gauss Rifle? Also, great news to have a picture for the new NC pistol. NC pistol is looking to be a gnarly magnum handcannon..... that thing is huge! Wonder what the Scat-Pistol will look like (if it is coming back at all). Also it looks like we got a visual for a different type of ammo clip. The pic with the single jump trooper looks as if his rifle has a drum clip, where as the pic with 2 troopers shows a standard 'sickle' or maybe 'box' clip.

As stated earlier..... NC helmet looks like Rogue Squadron helmet. Ergo NC = Rebels which means we win! NC > TR/VS. Its simple math really.
I mean.... do you want to look like a Beetle, A goofy Gas mask goggle sporting Nazi, or these kickass boys in Blue and Gold....

I mean really, when your looking down the barrel of these guns the last 2 things you think of will be, "I should have rolled a different empire", and "Ouch".
