Get ready for some PS1 style tunnels, and lots of indoor battles





What's even more exciting though, is...Hossin Next.

Still amazing to think about damage falloff for an exposive bolt ... I imagine a bunch of fire crackers glued to the end of my bolt with glue stick. The farther the bolt flies through the air, the more fire crackers fall off. THE FUTURE IS SWEET!!!

Also, very much looking forward to Amerish.

I just got hard........

Amerish 8k map

A nice looking Map. They smoothed out a bunch of the Wokuk mountains... got rid of the annoying switchback, and went with the Inner Ring / Outer Ring concept like on Hossin. I have a feeling that i'm going to really like this Cont now. A bunch of mountain ranges that the Mag has an advantage with, but enough roads to make quickly getting from base to base easier.

The Ascent is still meant to be grabbed and held and to be annoying for Gals/ESFs to hang around.

Going to be interesting checking out all the new bases.

Oh and from the bird's eye view... it looks like the Bastion is mostly unchanged. (It was a pretty interesting base to begin with, so i'm glad.

Dust off your Lashers, boys and girls.....!

Time to roll PS2 Old Skool!
