OK, now for the pics! I will post some more later, but here are just some I took the other night:

Before the game launches, it has a pre-load screen to check for updates and file validation, much like The Sims Online, and other online RPG games (Everquest, etc. .)

This is your starting point, the Sancutary. Those tubes on the right are spawn chambers, that's how you arrive. To the left, Weapon & Supply points. You login, and take what you need; guns, ammo, armor, supplies, etc. . .

This is the first thing I saw when I left the New Conglomerate Santuary Spawn building; a giant dropship landing in. See that hatch in the back? Seats about 25 troops, and even wheeled vehicles.

Me looking at the front. The driver has access of who can come in his ship, and who can't. This guy was only letting in his squad members.

An attack ship, the Reaper. Fast, agile, and can unleash hell with rockets & chainguns.

Close to the Scantuary Spawnpoint is the Shuttle Bay, a transport that will bring you to battle, if you have no ride with anyone else. As you can see from the clock, they arrive on time peroids. The cool part is the building has big red strobe lights & alarms to let you know that it's arriving/departing, even if you aren't in the building.

Another guy not willing to take a hitchhiker on a Wraith Quad. That thing is fast as hell.

This is the Driving Simulation. You can spawn a vehicle for driving. Every weapon/item/vehicle will give you XP points for using it for the first time, so EXPLORE!!!

The Weapons Simulation feild. One of the cooler weapons is this, the laser-guided missile. MGS Scorpion Missile fans; rejoice! It lauches a rocket, then allows you to alter it's trajectory with the mouse. As you can see here, it has a nosecam to go with it!

Allright, I got a ride! : D As you can see, weather affects the game, as it's twilight now.

Here comes da pain! Just crusing over the terrain, looking for trouble with this big-ass chaingun!

This is one of the defense turrets you can use at a base. Until yesterday, the thing was bugged and you couldn't hit vehicles with it! lol

OK, here goes me trying for Mech Implant upgrades! Let's see what I get. . .

Not enough ExPirence points?! Phooey. . I'll take the whimpy armor.

Well, this is what I WANTED to look like, but due to low XP points, and battle intelligence levels, I can't get it yet. . .soon enough. . .Check out those headlights, yo!

Remember, the game is a FPS mixed with RPG stat-systems. So the more kills you get, the faster you go up in rank. The only downside I can see is that the game will be 10 - 15 bucks a month when it goes retail to play. Otherwise, man. . .this game is going to set records, trust me.
