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

[editline]24th November 2012[/editline] And by that I mean some cock will run out in front of me and I can't draw a bead because my hands shake too much.[/QUOTE] You're dying because you're making silly mistakes. Aiming down the sights at someone who's literally 2 feet in front of you? No shit you can't aim at him properly. Close quarters, fire from the hip, unless you got a Holographic Sight (the one made for close quarters). Also, if you're camping a room, don't stare at a door whilst aiming down the sights. Always keep your gun ready to fire from the hip, that way you're ready for anything. Someone far off comes into the room? Aim down sights and tear them a new asshole. Some douchebag runs like a cock in front of you? Spray from the hip and watch em go down.

Maaaaaan it's easy to get points during huge battles by just exploiting the obliviousness of the enemy team. I just sat in a tower on the second floor with their main line of dudes below me killing tons of them and none of them bothered to look up because it was such a clusterfuck

I have no idea why but I completely suck with grenades. Even since the begninning of beta. No matter what I do, I'm very lucky to get 1-2 kills max with one, even if I throw it down a hole with literally 50+ people at the bottom, and even then most of the time it does nothing! Meanwhile all my outfit mates will just throw random grenades and always get 5+ kills. I wish you could cook grenades in this, would make it much much easier to get kills.

If you buy one of the shotguns, do you get it for every class or just one? And which one is considered the best for TR?

[QUOTE=Crimor;38564022]If you buy one of the shotguns, do you get it for every class or just one? And which one is considered the best for TR?[/QUOTE] Any weapon you buy is in your inventory for any class to use, granted the class has the skill to use the gun. IE a light assault guy can't pick up a sniper rifle, he doesn't know how to use it. Some guns can be used by more than one class (The VX6 7 comes to mind, which can be used by both the Engineer and Light Assault). So yeah, just check to see if it can be used by more than one class. If it can't, then you'll have to make the decision whether or not to buy it. IIRC the shotguns can be used by more than one class, but I don't know if it can be used by all.

Maybe your aim's just awful.

bunny hopping and randomly spraying when someone is like 3 feet away is surprisingly effective. i've actually had situations where i'll have 2 or 3 enemies shooting at me and i'll just bunny hop around and end up killing all 3 of them. makes me feel like a cheap asshole though

5.5k smed bux what to do with it

So I unlocked a weapon and it doesnt show up wat do

relog

[QUOTE=Thailandur;38564278]So I unlocked a weapon and it doesnt show up wat do[/QUOTE] Just relog, it'll show then.

The cash shop is pretty terrible right now. [editline]23rd November 2012[/editline] Also lawl woodman crashed again.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38564282]relog[/QUOTE] thankyou

Are any of the US servers going down this frequently or is it just the EU ones thanks to prosieben being fucking terrible.

The EU and AU ones are having teething problems. SOE should have managed it all themselves.

So, for my Scythe, I bought some Air-to-air missiles (to help gain air superiority the easy way) after having some guy shoot me out of the skies with them. I had 100% health and he locked onto me (I tried evading the bugger but my Scythe is so slow, gotta put some certs into upping the speed) and I kept unlocking myself but in the end he got me. I also got this big-ass plasma cannon (Light PPA) that does a decent amount of damage. I picked it because it works great against ground targets (I prefer taking out ground targets, dogfighting isn't my thing) and I can get a few shots into an enemy aircraft if I have to and it knocks a good amount of HP off. As well as that, I got the Dual Photon Pods, absolutely amazing when used against infantry. I just stalk about and try and find a Sunderer, then when I find one, I just unload a shit-tonne of those rockets into it to wipe out all the infantry, then Light PPA the bastard till it blows up. Lots of XP, lots of Cert Points. Dosh!

[QUOTE=BradB;38563441]TR only ever get tech plants when they pull shit like this... (looking at Indar, but all are terrible too) [t]http://imgur.com/5Hitm.jpg[/t] ...and flood 200 people in, making all the defenders only able to see enemies when they are standing almost within knife range. It seriously sucks to stand on the stairs at the generator, aim down at the cap point and see it completely empty of enemies, but go down there and there are 20 MAX and a billion infantry. Turrets and anything other than a shotgun becomes utterly useless. Not even hurling grenades at the cap point helps, because if you can't see them you can't hurt them. Empire population distributions need to be fixed fast, by increasing bonus XP incentives for low-pop places and eventually locking continents at somewhere >50%. Adding an XP penalty might work well too, since the only reason they've all turned up is to farm easy points.

Either they changed it to show population in the release or it's bugged and the game thinks NC still owns the whole continent.

My mouse died on me (wireless) and I didn't realize it had died on me at the time. I was in my Scythe, fucking shit up, then I end up not being able to turn. I shit bricks, and in my battle-haze, I go full-retard and forget that my mouse is wireless and could be out of battery. I then drift into an out-of-bounds area, just my fucking luck. I get force-suicided and only after I die do I realize it was because my mouse was out of charge. Balls. [editline]23rd November 2012[/editline] OH AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! I just got a new Scythe, almost killed this dude I had him down to 15% hp and he was shitting it) and then I BAIL OUT BY MISTAKE. I meant to press T to get a better view of him since he was flailing about wildly. I fucking bailed out of my Scythe. Furious and ashamed doesn't even begin to describe the tumultuous amount of emotions I'm feeling right now.

(looking at Indar, but all are terrible too) [t]http://imgur.com/5Hitm.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] I don't get what you're referring to here. All three factions have about 60% control on one continent and about 15-20% on the other two. What exactly is TR "pulling"?

[t]http://i.imgur.com/KfBBP.jpg[/t] Fucking holes man

[QUOTE=MadBomber;38564239]5.5k smed bux what to do with it[/QUOTE] All 3 VS shotguns, so you can tell me which is the best.

Planetside 1 had mechs. Why does Planetside 2 not have mechs. I demand answers SOE.

I spawned on a contested area and it did the air drop thing. I aim at one of those big aircrafts. Apparently it was like full because I land on it and kill all of them and get a bucketload of EXP :v:

I'm going to wait to get SC until sometime next month. Last year for the holidays during the middle of december they did a X3 SC promotion (better than the current X2 SC one). I just can't think of anything I'd spend SC on right now. I don't have any urge to get any specific guns since the default ones work good for the moment and I'd rather build my class up first, and the cosmetic choices right now suck for vanu (which makes sense since the game literally just came out). So I figure I'd might as well wait till a X3 promotion to get SC, more bang for my buck.

[QUOTE=The golden;38565390]Because those mechs pretty much singlehandedly marked the end of PS1.[/QUOTE] I never played Planetiside 1 much. Please elaborate?

Oh god those damn mechs Made me feel powerless Also, why can't we orbit drop from dropships anymore?

The queue on Miller is bugged, apparently.

Well this is so much more optimized than the beta. Just got DCd and crashed though :/
