My 11yr daughter would love to see... Magrider 2dary Gun

Grognard · 2012-01-12, 09:24 AM

Hey Hey,

Trying to fire up my little girl for some planetside 2... Is there any videos or pictures of the MagRider secondary gun in action, especially lighting up anything terran? The MagRider has apparently changed, and I'd like to show her some purple power in action, but no... can... find...

...and yes, if there isnt one, this is a direct request for one to be made. No expectations, but it never hurts to ask... anything for my little gunner

So..

Let me get this straight: You got a kid to have your own gunner for your mag?

Thats bloddy brilliant! Someone hand me a women, NOW!

Anyway, no proper mag gunner vid or shots. Only one showing the mag moving is the reveal trailer, and that one doesnt really have any good footage for your purpose.

Sure do

Father / daughter team, computers side by side. It just doesnt get any better...

This guy shagged a lady and had a kid, just to have a dedicated, well-trained gunner. That's DEDICATION.

In all seriousness, I salute you for your passion.

Alas, I don't think we have any real action shots of that tank's secondary gun, but here are a couple other pics that can be found in the media gallery (which you may have already seen):

Thank you, we only have seen one of those, and yes, she will definately love some fries with with her magrider

Edit: Hmmm, that second one down, with the three variants... is that in-game? It looks like models sitting in real sand, but the vegetation seems to be in-game. If this is in-game, which I tend to think it is... those graphics are fantastic.

Honestly, that sounds so cute, epic and hardcore all at the same time. Relish those moments like nothing else!

ahhhh, i'm sure that with enough practice my daughter could do that too... she's only a year and 2 months but i'm sure she could... I mean, likes to turn on and off my HTPC while i watch movies... and my xbox while I play games, and remove batteries from my wireless mice and stuff... I think she's got the gift!

Yep - Higby has said all shots are in engine.

It's more than dedication, it was awfully good planning to have the kid 3yrs before the game was released.

Not to be a party pooper or anything, but am I the only one who wouldn't let an 11 year old play a game with a certain maturity rating? ;p I mean, good for you to get yourself a gunner and some quality time with your daughter, but I mean, it is a rather... mature in terms of immature unsporty environment to bring her into an FPS, MMO no less. Of course it's not DOOM in terms of monster gore and all, but still. Would personally wait till she's 13 or so.

The world lets their six year olds play BF3/Call of Duty. We should worry about getting rid of them before an 11 year old from a barely violent sci-fi game.

I don't think so, I remember being in elementary school and hearing more foul language than I do in online shooters!

See, I didn't say FPS on purpose cause I'm sure that can be handled (I could at that age), I was more refering to the chat in this case.

And yeah on the 6 y/o's...
