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

[QUOTE=Raidyr;38382379]They should have a role beyond "that class that has the sniper rifle" but that role should not be invisible shotgun warrior.[/QUOTE] Well now they will be "that class that has the sniper rifle and useless cloak"

[QUOTE=Raidyr;38382502]I never said they should be nerfed. Also snes lol? This game is blatantly unoptimized. My friend gets less FPS than I do with his GTX 560/i7 rig. It's a ridiculous oversight that the infiltrator is designed to be blurry for people playing on medium and high but is totally invisible on low. Are you high?[/QUOTE] that's a problem with Low, not with inf, though. The inf is way too easy to see right now under normal circumstances. Also, I run just about maxed (I turn depth blur or whatever off because I don't like it) on my 470 / 2500k

That really sucks that they got rid of the shotgun for inf. i gotta admit, i literally think its useless for any other class, you really needed that cloak to gap close.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;38382284]How easy do you think it is to spot a cloaked infiltrator? Unless they run right past your nose or you somehow know the general location of one, they are not easy to spot. If you're on low settings you can forget about even trying, they literally don't render. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugGrPskDfHM&feature=plcp[/media][/QUOTE] Oh wow, I was confused about how the fuck people could see me when I was cloaked but I couldn't see shit. Either make it fully invisible to everyone or to none, this shit is what probably got the shotgun removed, the horrible optimization forces many people to play on low which in turn affects the beta testing.

with my settings infs come out as grey blobs.

[QUOTE=kukiric;38382528]Have they buffed it? Last time I gave it a try it had shit accuracy and could barely hit people, I just used the needler against infantry and light vehicles.[/QUOTE] The accuracy is pretty terrible - probably a 1-3 degree spread from the barrel. However, it's explosive, so you don't need to get body shots. I just spray it at lone NC troopers without really aiming and get a kill. Or fire it at swarms of troopers for loads of kills.

Love SOE's priorities. Take away infiltrator's shotgun making the VS Infiltrator completely useless. Now not only does our scope still not fucking work we don't have any close range capabilities.

I'm not sure what you mean by not having any "close range capabilities" either.

I don't like the idea that were going to have cloaked people running around with shotguns. Can't you infiltrators imagine how unbalanced and annoying it would be?

Can anyone pm me an extra beta key they have another one of my friend wants on. Its appreciated!

After not playing for a few day I came back and had 1040 cert points. Is thy normal..? (bought as much as I could anyways!)

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;38384894]After not playing for a few day I came back and had 1040 cert points. Is thy normal..? (bought as much as I could anyways!)[/QUOTE] 1000 certs were given to everyone 2 days ago.

[QUOTE=Stalk;38384257]I don't like the idea that were going to have cloaked people running around with shotguns. Can't you infiltrators imagine how unbalanced and annoying it would be?[/QUOTE] Except it's easy as fuck to pick off infils at any range, their "invis" is barely even fucking invis.

PS1 was no different. Cloaking is not a one button vanishing act.

You wouldn't see a good inf coming.

Maybe it's because I'm used to playing games like dystopia and hidden, just used to minute changes like shimmers.

The cert boost was awesome. Upgraded the hell out of the Reaver so I can finally be useful in the air.

I've always seen the cloak as a way to run down a blazingly violent field without being singled out. You're not invisible, you're just less obvious than anybody else. Also, running about indoors it helps, because at close quarters someone may see you, but you're a little harder to follow.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;38382042]Speaking of Infiltrators...[/QUOTE] YES! YESSSS! I can't wait to try out the scout rifles!Between those, burst fire rifles and the new shotguns I will be in heaven. Also to those who now bitch that the shotgun is useless; learn to use it. Just because you don't have the ability to instagib people and then run away cloaked doesn't mean it's useless in combat. Just the other say on amerish I got plenty of use out of it defending one of the blackshard mines, nailing NC and VS infantry coming over the hill. Works fine. I mean if you're smart you can find ways to close the distance with enemies pretty damn easily. I've done it plenty of times with the Medic and light assault. Frankly, the most risky proposition in choosing the shotgun imo was using as an infiltrator because every shot had to count due to the fact that they were as fragile as glass. Also, now I regret spending all my points on other things now that certs are going to be twice as hard to get.

I would love the option to mount a reflex sight on a sniper rifle.

Does anyone find that aiming is not as fluid as it is in games like counter strike? I have a hard time with precision aiming.

Is there any way to invert mouse in aircrafts? I just can't fly well because of it's controls

[QUOTE=koekje4life V2;38386802]All classes have equal HP AFAIK.[/QUOTE] Do they? Because it certainly feels like I kill infiltrators much faster than say, Heavy assaults or medics.
