PC.IGN has slapped up a quick preview on Epic Games' upcoming first person shooter, Unreal Tournament 2007, after getting a chance to check it out at a recent Gamer's Day event. Here's a bit on the spiffy new vehicles:

And there's also a few new vehicles they haven't talked about before. First is the Paladin, which is a defensive weapon that's also useful as an escort. Its key feature is a shield projected about ten feet in front of it, which can be rotated to block fire from multiple directions. It has a cool purple glow that's reflected onto the vehicle and ground. Another vehicle is the SPMA, a long-range artillery cannon that can strike targets beyond visual range. Last is the Cicada, visually similar to the Manta but capable of sustained flight like the Raptor. They describe it as a close support vehicle, and it can lock onto a target while you load up a bunch of missiles. The target can eventually be completely out of your view, but the missiles will still track their way over to it, as long as you've locked on beforehand.
