    Make sure you go to their alternate link if your ISP has still not updated its DNS:

    You really want to check out these pics - they are pretty sweet, and the commentary is VERY informative.

    I hope they are wrong about this:

    Yah, they are.  But everything else is completely correct as far as I can tell, which is quite impressive considering the detail they go into, and that none of them have played the game yet.

    Yeah well i can't take <i>all</i> the credit.  Some of it i got a little help from coil.[Mainly model identification cause rr.org has been down]  But a lot was just stuff i noticed and wanted to comment on.

    Cooool! Damn those Heavy Marines are <i>huge</i>! Any screens of the Heavy Marine handmodels? Also, when weapons are upgraded, do they get a new look? Or do they just look the same? If not, that's cool, but it'd be nice to be able to ID weapon strength via that. Maybe in a later version if not now?... *nudge nudge*

    wtf? I thought the destroyable nodes were taken out a long time ago... Once u build a tower and that tower is destroyed the node no longer works?...
    Thought that was taken out.

    Once and for all since the rumors are close to flying again.

    @ Surge

    No there arent new weapon models for upgrades. It would use up to much space .
    But i read somewhere that they have new sounds .

    @ Xen

    Nice page and really nice screenshots.
