Well I know some of you have been waiting all week for this one. However there is a little twist to it. Now the video is up and ready but due to technical difficulties (gg video card lock up) Tye is not done with the Hi Res versions yet. So, that left little ole me to encode the video myself for now. That means I do not have a Divx version yet. So the video is Windows Media Player 9 only right now. I hope to have the other version up sometime later.The video is the longest of best quality of all of the vehicles so far. I was looking over the other videos released and realized this pretty much is the only real footage of the tank in action. So enjoy!One other quick thing before I go. This weekend in Labor Day weekend and that means the last holiday of the year. Some of our Euro staff may post this weekend but us American crazies will be off until Tuesday. So go grab a beer, some food and your friends and enjoy the end of summer!

Unreal Ops UT2004 Battle Tank Video (Windows Media 9 Version)

Well, after downloading it and watching it in all it's glory, I just have to say....

HELL YA!

Bring that sucka on!

Only one thing that kinda bothered me about it was the whole "flashy shot" deal.... that looked kinda lame in the video. Is that a final thing? Or perhaps was that just a quick-hack for the earlier build? Or perhaps just something that showed up in the footage that wasnt' really there on the screen?

I'm hopeing for a quick-hack. Cause that was kinda "headache inducing" for the brief part I saw of it.

Anyway, definately a very awesome vechicle, and I can't wait to take one out for a test drive.

Looks really good, but it seems that all the vehicles in UT2004 are driving on ice. They kinda slide.

Thanks for posting it UnrealOps !!! Very Happy

It doubles as an APC (personell transport) because people can jump on the tank and get a free ride.

for a/the vehicle, or persons?
couse it says something in blu letters, cant read it tho, to bright light.

ps. i think that canyon is a death trap, if you walk/ride down there, somone on top can easly kill ya. Smile
