I'm in for the base-building race. I'll be on holiday, so I'll have far more time than any of you to make the flashiest base imaginable.

Ah, but you lack the skillz of Silver.
Yes, I spelt "skills" with a "z", because I am that skillful

Actually, from what I've read, the thing has one driver (who also controls the turret) and theres room for 2 hanger ons, kinda like on that brute uggo thing. (this comes from a dutch gaming site so I have no clue how reliabile this is, and I agree that it looks more like a 2 seater).

I think that Dutch site is on some mighty fine collective crack. I only see two seats as well.
Kinda odd to have the driver control both. Really would make more sense for Passenger to control turret, this seems a little overpowered, faster than a Wraith, faster travelling bullet, with what looked to be about same strength? Only downside seems to be that you can shoot the driver out.

I love the thing already
So, so far we know of 3 new vehicles.
Falcon
Rocket hog
Revenant
I thought Two Warthog variants were revealed, Warthog and some fiddly laser looking thing.

Just looks?
What part are you refering to? The vehicle, which is brand new, the engine, which is brand new so they can do ridiculously large and pretty maps, or the gameplay, which is being completely re-balanced from the ground up (Weapon damages, ranges, accuracy, etc)

I think he's talkinga bout the update on the gauss hog. And, no clue, haven't seen or heard of anything new on it, or where this rumor came from.
As for the new covenant thing. The projectile isn't hardly as fast as the gauss,. Gauss is like a sniper cannon, where as this is more of an energy bazooka.

Well, from what we've seen (which is just the new look) it just looks a little different. So, until stated otherwise, you can look forward to being cheap with it.

Also, the revenant looks like a stripped down version of the Spectre.
I want the Spectre back. It sucked, but it was so much cooler than the Prowler.
