News: Video: Terran Republic Character Turnarounds

[NapalmEnima]

Some of the named gear is Quite Interesting.

The powered exoskeleton has (as several folks have pointed out) 3 or 4 boxes of ammo for a Heavy Cycler. The armor looks AMAZING. Dead Sexay.

We get to see that the "pajamas" have the red V, which is what we see a medic (and some other poor slob) wearing in one of the PSU-Exclusive TR shots.

(note: That they're showing ammo on the belt leads me to believe that they'll be showing weapons as well, but it's not implemented yet)

The Mosquito is armed with a "TR - M12 Gatling Cannon". A very TR-ish weapon if ever there was one. It also has a pair of "TR-AM8 (or B?) Missile Launchers". It also looks like two of its four hard points are left empty.


PS: I really want to see a TR "missile flock" weapon. Maybe all 12 of these missiles can be launched at once at a single target. That'd scratch my itch.

Yeah, if the missiles bloom like a bouquet. You know how OP that would be?

A death bouquet might be OP, but not as OP as The Death Blossom...

Thought it was a bit odd the mossy was white and red instead of black and red, but maybe that is just because it was a model, not in-game etc...

It appears that the mistery of the Eye of Sauron Belt Buckle has been revealed - it is their shield generator

Observations:

Opening screen has nighttime areas with what look like street lights. This means night is actually black, not just pale purple.

There is at least one moon, and it's a big one.

And there are clouds of something out in space? I wonder if that stuff could cause solar-wind storms that screw up displays, HUD's and electronics in general.

TR Soldier: Standard jammies are, well, standard

Light Assault: Some more pads, evidently can't handle heavy weapons because:
Cycler ammo. Not "heavy Cycler ammo"

Helmet. More proof of headshots.

Heavy Assault:
Thigh, shin, boots, forearms, shoulders, back, and heavy helmet protection.
And all powered, baby.

"I called him 'Mini MAX'".

[TRex]

On the back of the heavy assault model , mid shoulder area , I noticed what looks like a weapon or ammo holster?
Comparing it to the max pictures of the tr (from older screenis), who had 2 circular ammo dispensers on his back and equipped with 2 lazer pointed dual-cyclers (one on each arm)
Would it imply that heavy armour worked along the same modelling ie a single heavy cycler on one arm with extra ammo box on your back ,you other arm free to use a pistol /knife or even a rek etc?

edit: maybe the mcg is a high level cert tree unlock (like all existing HA weapons from ps 1) and hence why we prob wont see this baby for a while , and why they dont have any pictures to show us of aforementioned MCG

I think you assume that there is no more MCG? Well, from what i could gather, i think there is now more than one Empire specific Heavy Assault Weapon.

[EVILoHOMER]

Looks great I'll admit that I'm impressed by that.

You can also read it as "Heavy - Cycler Magazine Storage" as in:

Light - Cycler Magazine Storage
Medium - Cycler Magazine Storage
Heavy - Cycler Magazine Storage

Up to interpretation to be honest, who knows, maybe there is no MCG!

SEXY!

The Cycler: Remember, the dual-cycler max had what, to me, looked like twin MCG barrel-sets on the arms.

Could it be the new name for the MCG is the "heavy cycler"? Same as the old MAX's name for the same or similar weapon.

I know the Cycler was an MA weapon. But the cyclers on the dual-cycler max looked nothing like the cycler MA weapon. They look like modified triple-barrel MCG's.

BTW, the Heavy Cycler magazines are substantially bigger than the Cycler magazines.

Ok. I'm frustrated. Where's my MAX? Is it a Command armor? (refering to PC Gamer)
