Sony Online Entertainment is continuing its tradition of PlanetSide 2 vehicle reveals in a news blurb on the game's official website. The Sunderer looks like a cross between a tank and a Mack truck, and it's designed to pancake enemy defensive lines and deposit a load of troopers smack dab in the thick of the action.
SOE says the beastly ride can withstand a focused barrage of enemy fire due to its heavy armor, and the Sunderer also features enough mass and horsepower to push other vehicles (including tanks) out of its way. Its cargo hold can carry up to 12 soldiers as well as medical supplies and ammo. PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale persistent world shooter based in a sci-fi setting, and SOE is currently accepting closed beta applications.

Words cannot express how bad I need this game to be good.
I need that rush feeling of PS1. I got the same feeling when I first played Battlefield 2.

Thanks for the heads up, Jef / Massively. I signed up for the newsletter but they don't send them out for these little updates.

I sometimes find SOE stuff in my spam filter. And it also arrives a day or two after whatever update they have. Which is horrible for their free weekend promotions.

if this game lives up to its potential and promise, it would be amazing.

Ah, the Sweet Sunderer. Probably my favourite vehicle from the original Planetside. Sadly, in an age when all the high level players favoured travelling around in their own personal sky taxi and there were few newbies to be found, there wasn't a lot of call for it. It didn't help that the guns on the base model were really bad and the thing handled like a dented brick - but what a brick!
Hopefully, they'll make sure that Sunderer's become a valid and effective way to move soldiers around the battlefield in PS2. Their fire power may have been a joke, but when three of the things came roaring into your base carrying a full platoon into combat they were anything but.

What excites me most about this game. IT'S PROMISE OF TRUE FACTION VS FACTION CONFLICT IN A PERSISTENT 24/7 WORLD.
Unlike SWTOR..RIFT etc etc etc
