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

[QUOTE=mooman1080;38610699]Seriously, I swear while flying around in a reaver at night NC and vanu sundies look exactly the same.[/QUOTE] pretty much all of them are the exact same as far as i know just different colours. at least that's what it looks like to me when i'm blowing them up

what's the sexiest camo for reaver? post pics of your reaver for proof :v:

reavers are butt ugly i dont think anything can make them look good

are you serious reavers are the best esf in the game

[QUOTE=Pandamox;38609525]holy fuck how is the grenade throwing in this game SO TERRIBLE [editline]27th November 2012[/editline] there will literally be an entirely open window with maybe 2 inches of it sticking in from the right side of my screen yet it can't make it through the window it's fucking retarded[/QUOTE] It'd be nice if they fixed the cinder block collision box so they didn't bounce back in your face after magically hitting thin air.

from other angles besides the one they give you in the third person cam, sure. it looks like a brick with two planks stapled to it from that angle

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;38610683]I have difficulty with the NC as a Vanu, because the team colors are pretty similar, especially with some of the special camos from the cash shop. I don't have this problem when playing as the Terran! [I]Better Red Than Dead[/I][/QUOTE] Imagine applying to the TR army. [I]"So what makes you want to join our glorious force?" "Because uh...I'm colourblind."[/I]

Is it me or does the games style really match the NC style? The buildings and non-faction vehicles look like they fit the NC style and look out of place for the VS to be using them.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;38610173]Ye, problem with this is that that's what people do anyway! Vehicles just cut straight through their friendly infantry with zero regard for how many buddies are being squished beneath their treads. Meanwhile, nfantry just zerg into every engagement with their guns pointed in the approximate direction of the enemy, doing the deadly weapon equivalent of windmilling their arms in a fistfight. The only class I've had some success at not getting teamkilled by is the Light Assault trooper, since I'm usually in trees or on top of buildings. But, according to the handy dandy death charts included in the stats screen, my current "death by friendlies" percentage sits at, count it: 16% [B][I]16%![/I][/B] Disable friendly fire. :I[/QUOTE] bravo, your argument to disable friendly fire is that friendly fire happens. Thats the point, its neccasarry to ensure theres no gamey bullshit the other side is subject to. I hope they never disable it, do you know how idiotic it is for people to rush forward with nades and shit then kill an entire room full of baddies while its also full of friendlies? its just not something i'd want to be on the other side of. Friendly fire is the fault of the person who shoots, the other is just bad game design. Edit: what i would like to see is point/cert penalties for teamkilling though.

So can we get some sorta list of where people play in the OP? I'm currently TR on Lithcorp but I'm thinking of moving

Game runs flawless 60 fps everywhere for me on max settings with the i5 2500k @4.4 ghz and ati radeon 7950. Which class haves the strongest coolest sniper rifles? TR or the blue faction? (I hate vanu rifles) [editline]27th November 2012[/editline] Also currently playing on Lithcorp as TR. Good server!

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38611012]VS sunderer needs more flashy hippie lights.[/QUOTE] VS sundies need to hover and have more spiky bits.

where's the report feature in this?

Where is this so called weapon trial? I can't find the weapon trials, I wish to try some weapons.

stuff is invincible in warpgate... unless you hop out of it for 5 seconds and it gets rammed by a friendly tank gg SOE

Lovely, I land to repair my mosquito in our warpgate, some dude shoots it down.

so I played planetside for the first time.

I tried NC, damn the music is good, also love their weapons.

[QUOTE=JDB;38610839]Is it me or does the games style really match the NC style? The buildings and non-faction vehicles look like they fit the NC style and look out of place for the VS to be using them.[/QUOTE]Well I suppose the lore reason would be that all fortifications, bases, outposts, all common pool vehicles, and more, are made by the Nanite Systems corporation, which are the only corporation on Auraxis that did not join the NC (that we know of). NS kind of has all 3 factions in a vice grip.

Playing combat medic around the Ti Allow Inc/The Crown area on Endar. I was going around reviving guys who had gotten run over by tanks on accident, and I noticed something odd... A heavy assault[dead] was on the middle of the bridge for no reason what-so-ever. I figured he got killed by the retreating Vanu, so I went over to heal him and... BOOM. The fucking Vanu had booby trapped the damn guys body to blow up medics who tried to revive him.

Planetside is the only game so far that makes me even vaguely understand what it feels like to be a medical doctor during a pandemic or something. I mean jesus christ, I main as a medic whenever I'm a foot soldier, and every time I show up at a major battle the spot I happen to stand on always turns into a major triage station. In fact, when a bunch of lightnings kept accidentally killing everyone, I almost /yelled "Watch where you walk and drive, you're making it real hard for me to save lives here!"

How the fuck do people get certs so fast? I played a 3 hour session yesterday with 60 kills and 25 deaths, multiple solo caps and revives and shit and only got like 30. Meanwhile someone in here posted that they got 100 in 2 hours or something.

[QUOTE=jiggu;38611276]I tried NC, damn the music is good, also love their weapons.[/QUOTE] Are you playing on Lithcorp, bro?

You know, I had a really weird dream last night. I dreamed that there were new NS vehicles and weapons in the game, and that buggies were out as well. One NS vehicle was a MASSIVE tracked transport that could hold 24 people but moved very slowly and looked like a cross between a vangaurd and a land raider. There were a couple NS weapons too, one was a really long range sniper rifle and the other was a very high rof carbine/smg. I think I really want more Nanite System weapons to come out soon because I REALLY like the NS 11-A :(

[QUOTE=Camper99;38611881]Are you playing on Lithcorp, bro?[/QUOTE] My TR is on lithcorp, hell I don't even know where my NC is. I just close my eyes and click a random server.

This game finally made me decide to upgrade my computer I upgraded everything but my video card(s) last year to a 4 ghz i7 and 16 GB of RAM, but I had my 3-year old 5870s Just got a 680gtx... back to nvidia after 6 years of ATI/AMD. The crossfire 5870's ran PS2 okay, but it would lag in huge fights at mostly high/medium settings and it was hard to aim. Can't wait to try it out with mid-blowing visuals and smoothly!

I wish there was blood in this game, every major battle would have a sea of red.
