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

I can't get into this game because of the art-style. I'm having trouble spotting my enemies amongst all the visual noise and clutter from the realistic textures and over-detailed sci-fi structures. Maybe this is a problem with all modern realistic shooters that everyone else has learned to live with, but I just can't push past it. Which sucks because I really want to get into this, but it's just presented too messily for me to stick with it.

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;38193837]Still didn't get my beta key...sucks.[/QUOTE] I can give you one, if you want.

[QUOTE=krail9;38189754]what the fuck, you can shoot out of team forcefields? that's gay[/QUOTE] Don't be stupid. You would prefer them to just be penned in and get butchered as soon as they step outside? I'm going back to PS2 now. Bought and played some MoH multiplayer. It's fucking atrocious. Should have listened to my gut. [editline]26th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=TBot Alpha;38193879]I can't get into this game because of the art-style.

I've never had this issue in any game ever especially not PS2. I think it's just you. The thing I do agree with is that identifying certain enemy classes from friendly ones. Namely between the Vanu and NC infiltrators. I always get those two mixed up when approaching them from the side or behind for some reason.

Even though it's kinda colorful game, it still looks a bit bland, to me IMO, probably due to all the metal around you. That and FXAA and god knows what else shaders/filters they use. SweetFX seems like to make it more vibrant and stuff, but it crashes for me, at least it did for me before, not sure about now.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38195471]I still have trouble telling NC from TR aircraft[/QUOTE] Look at the cockpits and tails, the hard angles give the Reaver away in pretty much every situation. [editline]26th October 2012[/editline] Alternatively, the mosquito has round engines while the reaver has blocky ones.

Is it just me or are the Magriders more OP than usual now?

They're not really great for 1 v 1, they have really weak armor. But when you have a whole column dropping artillery with sunderers lightning tanks, then you're talking.

[QUOTE=Firewarrior;38194109]I can give you one, if you want.[/QUOTE] Kick ass, pm me if you don't mind! If I get the key I was supposed to get after, I'll give it away too.

[QUOTE=Swineflu;38197149]Is it just me or are the Magriders more OP than usual now?[/QUOTE] Magriders aren't op... are they?

[QUOTE=MadBomber;38198168]Magriders aren't op... are they?[/QUOTE] A tank that can hover on top of a mountain and shoot as accurately as it does is pretty OP IMO

I just participated in the most massive invasion I've ever witnessed on the Eurydome and I'm talking about like a Warhammer 40.000 massive scale. [IMG]http://uppix.net/5/6/9/1aacd238222f3aab45081b8eec13c.jpg[/IMG] This screenshot was sadly the only thing I managed to capture but I can't help but wonder what the forces fighting down there felt like when our enormous fleet hovered from the skies. We also did Sunderer and MAX onslaughts and an armored blitzkrieg from the NC Warpgate to the TR Warpgate. Things seriously start going on when there's some organization, thanks to the Consortium Outfit for these great moments. Edit: Oh wow, they released a video from the amazing Death Race. You can see me explode to pieces in 3:10, I made it pretty far until somebody pulled me over. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoHC6AssmaM&feature=plcp[/media]

Which server? [editline]Edit:[/editline] Was that in an outfit or somethin?

Who needs obstacles in a flash race? Those things are certain death by themself. One guy died 3 seconds after the start.

[QUOTE=Swineflu;38197149]Is it just me or are the Magriders more OP than usual now?[/QUOTE] Not since they made the speed boost need to be certed into.

I'll just post the one request, but if anybody has a key I would appreciate it. I could give you a couple TF2 items or something.

To the facepunchers invading that mountain pass on the Thebe; fuck you. I enjoyed blowing your brains out with my sniper rifle, along with the rest of you VS pussies

[QUOTE=LittleDogX;38193404]I'm pretty sure it's like that to attempt to prevent spawn camping.[/QUOTE] it's pretty dumb lol some vs sniper was shooting out the second story door at people all over the base

[QUOTE=paindoc;38202504]To the facepunchers invading that mountain pass on the Thebe; fuck you. I enjoyed blowing your brains out with my sniper rifle, along with the rest of you VS pussies[/QUOTE] Wait, are you TR or NC? My group was pushing TR.

Damn it, I'm having so much fun with light assault now, wish I hadn't certed into HA so much now

My outfit favors HA over the rest so that we can hop out and fuck shit up. I want to play more medic though. . .

[QUOTE=Pie108;38203106]Wait, are you TR or NC? My group was pushing TR.[/QUOTE] I was Sardus.

I was NC. And my comment was just me kidding around, I was having way too much fun playing sniper. The NC sniper is just so satisfying, and makes an amazing sound EDIT; NC sniper looks like a racecar driver

I too enjoy the NC sniper I feel bad for using it though, it's probably quite annoying for the other team

VS bolt-action sniper is superior to all. (No drop-off, fastest projectile speed, headshots kill)

vs bolt action is literally point and click death, it takes every bit of fun out of it
