first pic ... can you imagine that the coders have the possibility to change everything they want ??? they could increase the firing speed and decrease the speed of the blast ... I hope you understood me
but Majin_You is right ... they made it with a PS, as the text under the picture should have told you this already
second pic ... am I not allowed to make a tunnel ?!?!?!
... cold steel explaind howto reproduce it ... I made the tunnel, because the beams are shown in the mapview (the box in the upper left) ... and I think with the correct overview it looks very cool (doesn't it?)
the current (B1.1) spectator mode is made manually by harSens ... so it had some bugs (nothing against harSens, he's godlike) ... then he changed to the official SDK2.3 which has this spectator included ... then he just modified it and you see that it's looking great
