edit: When idle the choppers are out of view. You only see them when attacking.

[kozak6]

Yay!

Don't you also have a video?

[Overdose]

OMG! That is so win!

Seriously though, is that going to be in 1.2? Or just something interesting you're working on?

[mooseberry]

Umm.. Really cool, but is it actually always going to be like that or just when you attack? Hopefully the latter because I do not want those things in my screen the whole game. 

But great work.. again.

[ODDity]

Heh they look cool

As long as you can turn them off its fine with me. Personally I always stick with "hide weapon" or whatever its called, I really dont need to see what im carrying to use it, also there's no blind spots.

Nice pic though lol

[Stannum]

Yes, this is for 1.2
No, they aren't in view all the time, only when attacking.
No, there is no video yet, have to fix some frame issues.
Yes, you should be able to turn them off. If not, ha ha ha!

[ODDity]

ha hehe.. Im just worried about my framerate for 1.2 its bad enough as it is without all these extra goodies and bling

All the best.

[Death On Ice]

[Slayer.]

I guess 1.2 maras will have horns.

[Atom Eve]

[_Equilibrium_]

Don't goons chomp, though?

that would mean your eyes would be in your mouth. how awkward would that be?

[Rocinante]

Watch an old person in a grocery store.  You hit a certain age, and you get eyes in the back of your throat.  That's the only possible explanation for holding things up around mouth-level, tilting the head backwards so the mouth falls open - the eye in the throat has better vision and needs to read the label.

[TinMan]

In 1.3 humans will have psychokinesis.

[mooseberry]

In 1.3 humans will have psychokinesis.

[Death On Ice]

thats hot. love the zap.

[Shadowgandor]

What's he doing?

Right, right, left, left, double, double, zap.

Are we going to see multiple attacks from first person view? Does that mean we'll see the marauder attack different from third person as well?

[Knocks]

I would careless less about the blind spots if it makes me feel more like a alien.
Looks awesome! 

[Taiyo.uk]

* Taiyo.uk will need to wear rubber pants for the next week or two.

[TinMan]

In 1.3 humans will have psychokinesis.

when is it coming out?

Well, 1.2 is coming out at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever, which means there will be at least a beta by the end of this year.
1.3 is coming out right after Duke Nukem Forever: The Hefner Expansion Pack comes out.
