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

[QUOTE=Pandamox;38579629]Why the fuck is the community in this game so retarded? Guy sits in an atv infront of the tank spawner, so when you spawn in a tank it AUTOMATICALLY runs him over and you get a betrayal, and then he follows you around and blows up everyones vehicles for an hour yet doesn't get locked out. This is pathetic[/QUOTE] Welcome to free to play communities. I hate to sound elitist but this problem wasnt so apparent when games were pay to play. Its starting to ruin gaming with all these free to play shit communities.

[QUOTE=KorJax;38578883]Would be really easy to abuse, they'd need to make it so you can't just hotdrop and change your class on the drop or something I don't know why they dont give Infiltrators C4. Nobody in my outfit does either. They should also have some way to break into shielded bases easier. I.E. 1 EMP grenade takes down a base shield for 3ish seconds, enough time to slip in. And on that note, make it so they can hack [I]everything[/I]. I loved infiltrator in PS1 because almost everything was hackable. Spawntubes, lockers (that had weapons/ammo in them), terms, turrets, shields, etc. Make it so I can hack a shield to make it friendly for 30 seconds if I hack the generator it belongs to. Make it so I can hack a control point to "keep" a person on it for 30-60 seconds so I don't have to stand there to keep me on the point. Make it so I can hack into vehicles to make them friendly or disable their weapons for 60 seconds or whatever.[/QUOTE] I was thinking of just making it ridiculously expensive, but then I can see people saving up just for it. Even then, if they were to go with the "Behind enemy lines" option, it wouldn't really be worth your time to drop as an infiltrator, hack a supply terminal, change to light assault and then just wander around with nothing to do unless you had a ton of people do it all at once. Like you said, maybe just classlock them until they die or something. I'm assuming the C4 thing follows the same lines as the shotgun issue. Rather then have somebody pop out of thin air and destroy you with a shotgun, they'd pop out of thin air and blow the shit out of your tank without you really knowing what happened. I'm with you on the EMP grenade thing... I like that it knocks out your enemies hud, but it really could use another functionality. Yes to everything in that last paragraph. Make the class interesting.

Hey you know what I love is when the map tells you there's hotspot so you go there only to find that no one is fucking there

[QUOTE=JDB;38579723]Welcome to free to play communities. I hate to sound elitist but this problem wasnt so apparent when games were pay to play. Its starting to ruin gaming with all these free to play shit communities.[/QUOTE] It's actually pathetic. I've gone to 3 separate bases now, and it's just a massive group of people ramming your aircrafts as they spawn in, blowing up tanks as they spawn in. as soon as one guy gets locked out another one just comes in and does the same thing. i've actually never seen such a terrible community in my life

[QUOTE=Atlascore;38576494]You don't need shotguns for that, any automatic weapon will do just fine.[/QUOTE] No amount of saying that makes it true. I say again, show me yourself going toe to toe with dudes with shotguns without one yourself. Alternatively, actually use one, and then tell me how well the guys with "any automatic weapon" did. [QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;38579808]Hey you know what I love is when the map tells you there's hotspot so you go there only to find that no one is fucking there[/QUOTE] You know what's great about the map? Not displaying spawn points when you're not in the deployment view. That is something I totally do not need to know when behind enemy lines with a Sunderer and no idea of where to deploy it. Also, the minimap not displaying Sunderer deployment radii unless you're currently in the driver's seat.

I've not seen this yet. I don't think I've ever been intentionally teamkilled. Although I have done myself, like if I'm obviously putting a lot of rounds out a window with my LMG and a guy tries to run infront to pop of some shit shots with his carbine, I ain't stopping for him.

man, i hate joining public squads to find they're all on another continent

It's really dumb that you don't search for squads only on your cont. or at least just use the PS1 style squad screen.

Performance for me (Phenom II X4 @ 3.2ghz, 8GB RAM, 7950 3GB) is worse overall than in Beta. I've reformatted since then and I'm running the latest beta drivers. Before I could max the game out 1920x1200 and its playable enough, not great but I can deal with it even in the biggest battles. Now its worse than that on medium settings. Hope it gets better soon as I'm having a blast.

Is the rebel worth the money?

Holy fuck I made some tr fag mega butthurt. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8682580/PlanetSide2%202012-11-24%2003-54-04-89.png[/img] I shot him down 3 times in a row and then one time when I return to a landing pad 10 minutes later to rearm he was sitting there and waiting inside the base as heavy assault to shoot my reaver with a rocket.

have they improved c4 at all from the beta i dont want to waste 200 certs on it for my medic if it still sucks.

you really shouldnt get c4 for any class but light assault. it's useless without the mobility

[QUOTE=Suitcase;38580176]Is the rebel worth the money?[/QUOTE] You should try the weapon trial, i think all of the weapons have a 1-time trial. (Click unlock then at the bottom of the window showing the item there should be a blue bar allowing you to try the gun for 30 minutes.)

[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;38580398]you really shouldnt get c4 for any class but light assault. it's useless without the mobility[/QUOTE] its nice to be able to take out unsuspecting tanks turrets and lay traps. Thats only if it can actually do enough damage, that is. before it was useless against everything but infantry.

Rolling a TR max unit specialist on miller. Sometimes farming infantry all day with a magrider gets too repetitive.

I feel like I'm really missing out with this shitty framerate, I can't drive any vehicles..

[QUOTE=Suitcase;38580176]Is the rebel worth the money?[/QUOTE] IIRC the Rebel is the best pistol in the game.

10second warning for shutting down the server on Waterson. Reason? Invalid String.

[QUOTE=Pie108;38580795]10second warning for shutting down the server on Waterson. Reason? Invalid String.[/QUOTE] Happend with Genugina or what ever. Genudine.

So basically the first side to get 80% of the continent population wins? Wish there was a little more depth to this but that seems to be this game.

Update drives, sudden 60 FPS with near max settings.

[QUOTE=Mike42012;38580938]Happend with Genugina or what ever. Genudine.[/QUOTE] Server came up, played a little bit then a 5 minute shutdown timer for a quicker update.

So what servers do people usually play on? Seems Woodman and Miller are popular ones?

NC is the most 'colorful' and 'saturated' in my opinion. When I play vanu, everything seems too 'flashy', when I play TR everything seems too dark.

Cobalt EU isn't too bad, guys on there are friendly at times and team work is really good in the evenings.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;38578888]So, i bought the Dalton for my Liberator and it appears that A) All the gunners i've had using it sucks or B) The gun itself sucks.[/QUOTE] Dalton's actually incredible! It's an ultra long range cannon that is wicked accurate and does buttloads of damage (2-shot a lightning, kapow!) Take advantage of its capabilities by flying at ~700 altitude. You'll be outside of range of pretty much all ground-based AA, and your gunner will just go to town on enemy vehicles. You'll bust tanks like it's going out of style! [editline]24th November 2012[/editline] Lib pilots who fly the thing like a fighter are my PS2 Nemesis! I was actually in one last night where the pilot was divebombing tanks with his main gun. I almost barfed in consternation.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;38580517]its nice to be able to take out unsuspecting tanks turrets and lay traps. Thats only if it can actually do enough damage, that is. before it was useless against everything but infantry.[/QUOTE] i personally find c4 fantastic. getting above a cluster of enemies and dropping it on them works so well. if you can find a damaged tank/a tank thats taking fire, that's a dead tank. sometimes i like to put a charge on an enemy tank and wait for them to start taking fire. i don't even have my c4 capacity maxed out and i always find myself dry on infantry resources from spending on them, and I'd say 9 out of 10 times they're used to some effect.

Yeah, I plan on going TR. Did they launch PS2 with 6 EU servers or they added some more? I wasn't active before and during launch.
