Video Blips:

Continue after the break for a preview of a CG-fied PlanetSide 2 trailer and an Engineer overhaul in Firefall.
• The upcoming PlanetSide 2 CG trailer promises basejumping soldiers, loud explosions, and lots of grizzled men staring mournfully into the distance. Eye-candy trailers stirs the hype as intended, but they're still a little overboard on the "you can't do this" aspect.

• Firefall's Engineer class gets a new zappy gun, tinier zappy turrets, and a shield to protect against other zappy fire as part of a major overhaul. Don't miss the almost-easy-looking rubber-arm about a minute and a half into the video.
