What you are seeing are the 3.6.12 beta mvps in action.

[General Battuta]

Sweet.

Did the BP bomb flares also get moved to the MVPs? They may influence mission balance in retail.

[The E]

Yes, they did. My suggestion? Get a nice pair of shades when doing bomb intercept.

Actually it's not that bad. What's worse is playing BP with them and the rampant use of Shivan MegaBombs. You really need shades for those.

PEW PEW PEW

I wonder what horrors await for those who like their bloom intensities above 100.

Btw, what kind of release date are we looking at those?

[Mongoose]

If it's wrong to want to make love to that Hatshepsut, I don't want to be right.

Then I have just the shot for you.

I'M BLIIIIIND

[Rodo]

IT LOOKS COOL 

[General Battuta]

Is that bloom or scripted death flash?

[Kolgena]

Death flash. And bloom. Though, I think there's no way bloom would be able to make large black areas white. You'd probably just have uber-saturated red lines bounding uber-white beams and explosions if it was -bloom_intensity 255.

[Snail]

Bomb flares look great too.

[Kolgena]

How are these flares scripted? Are their intensities a factor of 1/d^2?

[Aardwolf]

IT LOOKS COOL 

IT LOOKS LIKE WHO SAID THAT OH **** I'M BLIND WHAT THE ****. 

[Droid803]

Cool looking things that potentially damage eyesight due to brightness = blind people.

Like the sun.

[Rodo]

Sun is cool.

Well... actually not COOL, but cool, you know what I mean.

[deathfun]

These are just too sexy for my eyes *proceeds to blindfold self*

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Some more screenshots from the beta mediavps...

[Aardwolf]

I wish we had colored beam impact effects (with colors matching the beams)

And decals. And specialized beam decals which would make it look like the beams were continuous even when they weren't!
