Yes I know, it's 90% adverts, and 3% content, but it's where they are.

This especially looks very painful. And very cool.

Some more information on the feature update, quoting a part (first part of the answer sounds especially nice):

What's the deal with the new instanced outdoor missions and enhanced indoor missions versus current missions?

Outdoor mission sets allows heroes to take on missions in instanced pieces of the city. For example, a player might be asked to defend a neighborhood from a street gang riot. Only that player (and his teammates) can step into the fray and halt the thugs' rampage. Instead of being in a mission map with walls all around - and a ceiling - heroes will be battling in the fresh air of Paragon City.

The enhanced indoor missions add flavor to pre-existing sets. One example is the prisons; instead of re-appearing in a hospital, defeated heroes reappear in a jail cell. Players will need to blast through the door and escape detection to find their teammates (if they have any). Another enhanced room is the tech labs. If players destroy one of the experimental tech labs, they will be irradiated to receive a random buff or debuff to an attribute. So it's a good last gasp tactic to destroy one of the lab stations; you might get a much needed reprieve.
They have nice pictures as well ;)

Them Mechs from the Portal Corp look nice :p Dont wanna meet em alone tho ;)
Actually, those Titans are mechs from a new faction called the Malta group, according to the Q&A linked above. The Portal Corp. is essentially a friendly organization, I guess that the screenies are somewhat of a spoiler, showing us that the Malta Group has interests in 'obtaining' Portal Corp. technology, or some such plans, and will drop those Mechs at Portal Corp. locations...
/stops nitpicking (for now)
