PlanetSide gets even more competitive with new modes including Battle Royale with PlanetSide Arena!

Did anyone ask the fuck for this
Seems like aside from jumping on the Battle Royal train its bringing other "Arena Style Shooter" modes mixed with Planetside's combined arms combat. 250 v 250 with no third faction and only 3 classes to pick from, and they all look like all get jetpacks. Looks like they're trying to control the chaos that is Planetside greatest weakness and its greatest selling point.
That being said apparently they still have their full staff from Planetside 2 still working on Planetside 2, this is supposedly just a parallel production now. And rumor has is the upcoming DX11 update for PS2 is because of this games existence.
What I really want from the next Planetside is a $20 stripped down version of a game I already own.
Why?
Will last 2 months, maybe 3 before shutting down
Daybreak is an absolute train wreck at this point. So much potential with Planetside 2 was squandered.
I wish I'd got to play the first. Around the time it came out and I saw it in an issue of PCGamer, I didn't even know how to set up an e-mail address so I could do the free trial. At least I had Tribes 2 though. I get the impression that it didn't have the same sort of "Chain of several Battlefield Conquest maps" feel PS2 did, rather a more dynamic playing field
Wouldn't it just be H1Z1 with space weapons?
It was brilliant. One of my fondest gaming memories was in the open beta for Planetside 1. Me and some of my old TR friends were pushing the VS back on Cyssor. Every base we struck had resistance but we had it down to a tea. We'd deploy from a galaxy and hot drop onto the roof, the most direct path to the control console. Two of us would be in Anti-Infantry MAX suits, with the rest being engineers / medics. We took every single control console with ease and spent the next 15 minutes defending it from waves of enemies.
I will never not be upset over how SOE decided to downgrade the graphics and Daybreak didn't even acknowledge it, let alone try to bring everything back.
I liked PS2 so Im kinda looking forward to this since there arent much combined arms warfare games, but eesh
Obvious battle royale cash in, same dogturd engine, and ofcourse a battle pass with actual power benefits because cosmetic only is just not enough coming from the company that already messed up multiple game projects
And I like that the store page is has more info about extra purchasable items like battle pass and preorder bonuses than they do about the actual game, really helps ruin the first impressions for many people
