Pretty cool, makes me wish I could play on high graphics. I feel like it failed to convey the scale as much as it could have if it was laid atop google earth or something similar.

Still kind of hard to truly understand the scale. But to me, THIS video gives you a proper understanding of just how large, say, an Avatar is.

EDIT: The base jumping sequences really are the part that make people go 'wait...'

Yeah, the Avatar one was better for the scale experience.

They're both good for displaying scale, just in two different ways.

The hour-long video is great for showing relative scale between hull classes.

The Crysis video gives you a personal perspective.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.
