is there a mech on fire in the "walking with giants" video?

I'm sure this has already been asked but I couldn't find anything.

At a 1:01 after the hover craft moves by, you can see a mech in the background running around looking as though it is completely engulfed in flames. What is this? Whatever it is, it looks utterly badass.

I remember a developer said in the other thread how the mech had just walked out of the lava pit, and it was an after effect from that. But I'm too lazy to find the exact quote.

i figured the after effect from that would be shutdown, followed by core explosion. still that would be freaking scary... imagine an atlas slowly step out of a lava pit glaring at you while lava slowly drips off of it and fires burning all over it.... epic.... til it shutdown, then you headshot it

It really just the glow effect from the Lava on the map by the look of it. (also looks kind of like a Raven by my guess.)

1.  Owens

2.  Just a lighting effect from being right next to a pool of lava (outside of what the camera shows), mixed with the HDR lighting emphisizing the effect up a bit at a distance.

So its not from standing in lava but a reflection of being near a pool? If so that seems a little bright and uniformly distributed to a heat reflection. But its still a cool effect. Note to self don't try to hide next to lava on a night mission...

[=CJW= Rad Hanzo]

nightmissions with that freking much amount of ambient lighting...hmmm consider them as sunset missions xD

An Owens with a horrible case of Ghoneria? Now I have seen it all...

I have to say when I saw it I thought it was a Raven, I also thought it was kinda like in Mechassult when for some reason when you were suppost hide from radar, you cloaked... which was really odd... and lame all in one ball. But yeah I could see the blurry motion of a predator like invisible machine catching to much light and causing something to glow like that. "Pictures the cloaking system having a fit collecting all the light around it."  But as it was said by the dev, its an Owens... its just really shiny, they buff often! ;-)

I hope that Im not hijacking the thread but watching the opening of Walking with Giants got me wondering about under water combat?  Is it gonna be there or is it just walking under water?

[XBLACKFIREX]

Well I'm sure its there for the Sneak attack aspect. Missles don't to so hot underwater, Laser aren't to great either, maybe you should fire your AC but the range would be point blank only. MW3 if you shot your missiles under water they would come out of the pack and then start to sink in front of you. I cant remember if they exploded when they hit the bottom lol.
