Planetside 2 Thread v2 - Beta floodgates open GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY - Games

[QUOTE=The golden;38134879]Seats 2-12 are on the outside of the BFR so you can act as a living organic shield.[/QUOTE] Everyone goes heavy assault for a tanky BFR, everyone goes light assault for a flying BFR. Modular BFRs! :v:

I don't like this thing they've got going now that requires you to buy one attachment to buy another I don't want a 3.4x scope, I want a reflex sight. I sure as fuck don't want a flashlight

[QUOTE=chonks;38134920]I'm on the fence about preordering, someone convince me that this game is awesome.[/QUOTE] If you mean Alpha Squad, only get it if you were planning on spending $40 on the game anyway. It'll be released in less than a month so the beta access isn't really worth it. Having said that, it [i]is[/i] an awesome game, but it'll still be as awesome whether you spend money on it or not.

Started playing at like 3am, it's now 8am and I stopped playing because the server came down for maintenance. Unlocked the Skyguard and was mowing the fuck out of everyone who dared enter MY airspace. I love it! My K/D has jumped loads since unlocking - definitely the best first unlock. Think I'm going to unlock the ranged rifle for the medic next, or maybe some armour unlocks for the Prowler! Fucking love this game!!!

Jesus, just had my best fights yet. Joined a massive group of players and went Combat Medic for the majority, reviving and healing and killing anyone who attempted to push at us. We took out one base only to have Vanu surprise the fuck out of us with a similarly massive force, then we pushed away took out an NC base, then moved on to the snow continent to finish off NC's hold before the servers went down.

It doesn't seem like my Mosquito's jets move anymore...

BFR's would be kinda hard to balance since even tanks can become anything you need (AA lighting, anti-tank /anti personell heavy tanks). Perhaps BFR's can be used as artillery units?

[QUOTE=Joazzz;38135686]but because it would be deployed on Esamir too, the devs would have to give fighters some tow cable launchers[/QUOTE] Massive, lumbering mechs a la AT-ATs would be fucking awesome imagine something where platoons can pool their resources together to build one at a main base it takes 10 minutes to construct, and you have to hold the base for that time, while enemies are alerted to the construction then you crew it with 10 or so people manning turrets and such, and escort it to an enemy base. If it gets there, the base is captured instantly :v:

I'd love moving bases which you fight on. A bit like those big ass vehicles in halo 3, but bigger (and perhaps as a mobile spawn area for vehicles?). I do think that would be better for space battles IF they ever get added later down the line.

For the love of god leave the BFRs out of this. They damn near ruined the first game, do NOT want to see that shit again.

I never had the chance to play PS1, like a bunch of others here I guess. What made them so disliked?

So reading the PS1 plot, it seems that TR is kinda evil, but also somewhat justified.

The PS2 plot and ~lore~ differs from the first.

All 3 factions are equally morally bankrupt actually

ps2 has lore?

[QUOTE=hogofwar;38137181]ps2 has lore?[/QUOTE] [quote="Official Planetside 2 Backstory"]One day TR were all like "Let's colonise this planet" and everyone was all like "YEAH!" then they did but then TR went "HAHA we're really space nazis" so the rebels went "RAAAAGH FREEDOM" while the Vanu were like "RAAAGH TECHNOLOGY ALL HAIL SPACE JESUS" And then NC went "RAAAGH FREEDOM" again but louder and then Planetside 2 happened.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;38137318]Things I can't quote because iPads[/QUOTE] I thought it was more "Infinite spess nazi empire colonizes Auraxis, splinter corporations fight for freedom [to choose where to mine] while interior designers try to win the planet over because of its imortality things". tl;dr: Romney vs Ron Paul vs Mussolini.

I thought it was more like. Find wormhole. Go in wormhole. Wormhole Closes. nearly starve. Bomb. Find auraxis. Fight?

I never played PS1 or even looked that much into the lore, so to me it's the Covenant (people edition) vs regular army dudes vs SPACE AMERICA

[QUOTE=hogofwar;38137546]I thought it was more like. Find wormhole. Go in wormhole. Wormhole Closes. nearly starve. Bomb. Find auraxis.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;38137633]I never played PS1 or even looked that much into the lore, so to me it's the Covenant (people edition) vs regular army dudes vs SPACE AMERICA[/QUOTE] Seems like regular army vs Regular army vs purples.
