    The 2 marines in the beginning had to die just because the exo guy had to make his bad ass appearance.

    What an ass!



    Awesome trailer though.

    Great trailer! Even though I expected more of a suit than a little Mech it still looks fantastic and I can't wait to play it!

    First off love the map great detail, and the GL looks great. The exo suit is less suit and more mech then I had hoped but I guess il have to wait and see how it performs .

    Looks amazing, but ooo boy unlimited ammo?!?!?! haha ya probably an increase in marine wins for sure :P Anyways doesn't look anything like I thought it would but it looks great, I just have so many questions though. Does stomp effect the exo? Will the lerks gas have any affects?

    Ok was super pissed reading "we are aiming for early next week for next release" then finding out maybe its actually 3 weeks later or something along those lines lol but looks like some awesome updates :D

    I too wish the cinematic editor was more usable or had some documentation on how to use it, would love to fool around and make my own trailer

    Awesome, waiting for update !!

    Looks awesome, i have a feeling the exo is going to be truly powerful and aliens will need their abilities reverted back to ns1 awesomeness.

    The trailer is amazing, all the visual updates look great, the functionality of the exo-suit looks like it will fix a lot of the needed changes for the marine team.

    But.. I really hate being that guy.. but where is the marine's body? Are his upper torso and head chopped off to fit in the 'suit'? I don't think he could even be sitting cross-legged inside there, there's just.. no room.

    mhhhh ....


    i like the new GL looks awsome

    i like the new maps look interisitng

    i like the concept and the behavior of the exo

    i DONT like the front plate of the exo... its to bulky and simple... i was expecting something more like this:

    <img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs7/PRE/i/2005/228/3/4/Matrix_APU_by_kehlan.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    or this


    <img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee176/radar275/Mattel_Avatar_AMP.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    a bit bigger and more mechanical and lets face it a bit more badass


    edit: after looking at the screenshots i can more specify what i dont like about the front of it: it looks to much like a pure robot without human control, there needs to be a slight hint thats shows you ok a ###### angry marine is riding this ######

    So it has something to do until dual miniguns come into play?

    Holy ###### guys. Wow. Amazing. I knew something was up when the Facebook feed (Charlie?) dropped last night mentioned something 'BIG' was on the horizon. This is beyond my wildest dreams. I can't wait to chew on its legs!
  • TyphonTyphon Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 1899Members
    Oh how I wish that the onos could actually one-shot turrets and fling marines across the room when he kills them.

    Maybe now that marines have exo the onos can be buffed a bit?

    I agree, that was awesome. I still dont like the dual wield on the hmgs though seems like a nightmare to balance without resorting to unintuative damage dropoff.

    Dare I hope this is coming out today?

    Man, you don't like the "front plate" of the exo? The <!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->front plate<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> not good enough for ya? You know what really bothers me about the front plate? <b>You. </b>

    Awesome trailer though.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    It's okay. They were jerks... never watered the plants around base, left the empty TP roll on the holder, drank from the carton, and kept playing Crazy Frog over the radio. Constantly. Everyone else was happy to see them die.

    Huge amount of pops to Cory, he did an awesome job on the suit design and the trailer.... they both came out looking fantastic!


    One thing I notice on the Exo from the videos is that some of the animations don't feel quite right, like the walking animation doesn't sync up with the speed at which the suit is moving, n' sometimes the movements don't look like they have much weight in them. But if I recall the Onos had these same problems at first too and I'm sure they will get tweaked/fixed in the following patches.


    Great job again though, can't wait too see this stuff in-game :)

    Love how Cory's managed to keep that civilian like aspect to the exo. It really gives the impression of a multipurpose suit more than a battle suit. Thought that was pretty genius.
