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

Awesome, banned again from Planetside 2. Time to contact SOE support AGAIN. Jesus fucking christ, why do they do this to me? Probably they have some trouble with the payment again. Sigh...

So I was playing with my outfit in a platoon. I got in someones magrider and the turret... Oh my god it was beautiful. It was the one that shoots a tiny little missile and pretty much 2 shots enemy tanks and had no drop. I was sniping mosquito's with it. Then he left, so I went to go see how many certs the turret was (Saron HRD I think it was called). I got really sad when I saw it was 1,000 certs.

You sure that's what you were thinking of?

Battlefield 2142 has risen again from the glorious depths. Not a single complaint.

I have multiple times in the past years told people how I wish BF2142 would be given a proper successor. Planetside 2 is that game.

Dice cant simply make an bf2142 now. They waited to long now planetside 2 has taken over, if dice does one however they won't profit as much anymore.

[QUOTE=Darkslicer;38644273]Dice cant simply make an bf2142 now.

Better get PS2 soon, maybe this weekend before this thread closes. This will be my first and probably only post here.

[QUOTE=biodude94566;38641538]Also, any tips for getting into specific factions? I'd really love to be Vanu because A) my favorite color is purple, B) they look the coolest, and C) pew pew lasers. But no matter when I play them, I just suck and have no fun. I only seem to be able to do well and have fun as TR. Changing the lead to air ratio until your enemies choke is fun and all, but I'd actually like to play VS, too. (even though they may be traitorous scum)[/QUOTE] The Vanu are strongest at medium and long-range fighting. NC will pretty much blow you up in a 1-on-1 close-quarters fight, unless you get the drop on them, and at mid-range the TR will often win direct trades. Stick a little farther out, and you'll come out on top because of your accuracy. My favorite class is the Vanu's Light Assault trooper. Its default carbine is very good at medium ranges, and its exceptionally accurate. With the Light Assault trooper, you can be all sneaky, and fly around on top of structures and trees, outside of the common lines of fire. Find a target, close to within range, and put half a battery in their chest, and they'll drop. Be careful indoors, though, you'll get chewed up if you don't kill 'em fast! Once you unlock the 250 cert Pulsar carbine, your lethality at all ranges will go up, and then you can just settle in. No need to rush the 1000 cert weapons! [editline]29th November 2012[/editline] Oh, and be careful with the cert point spending. I accidentally dumped 30 certs into every defensive slot item on the Light Assault trooper, because I didn't know you can only have one on at a time. Bummer! It also took me a couple of days of playing with those unlocked to realize I actually had to [I]equip[/I] one to receive its effects!

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;38644510]NC will pretty much blow you up in a 1-on-1 close-quarters fight, unless you get the drop on them, and at mid-range the TR will often win direct trades.[/QUOTE] It's the exact opposite of that. TRAC-5, Cycler, and CARV all have the highest DPS of any starting gun in their class but the spread makes them wonky at longer ranges. NC's low ROF gets them murdered until they've backed up. VS is in the gaps, Orion is a murder machine at point blank but the carbines require hanging a bit back.

Unless of course they're so absurdly massive that they're basically another continent, which is fine.

I am corrected.

so do you not get points for a captured zone if you haven't participated in the battle? not that i'm saying it's a bad thing, but i really wish the game would've telegraphed that a little better

You don't get points for defense though which is stupid.

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;38643900]Saron's a laser. You sure that's what you were thinking of?[/QUOTE] I suppose it's a laser. Looked like a [b]VERY[/b] missile to me though. But yes, i'm positive it's the one.

okay so i'm trying to log in and it keeps saying i have to change my password what the fuck is going on

decided to start a guy on vanu, drops you in right away as light assault in whatever major battle is going on. i feel like such a cheeky kunt playing as light assault. kill a few guys, fly away to somewhere they can't reach me. come back and sneak up on them, get another few kills. did that for about 10 minutes and racked myself like 20 kills before i ran out of ammo and had to resort to knifing people and died

Unless of course they're so absurdly massive that they're basically another continent, which is fine.[/QUOTE] We'll be getting that volcanic continent for sure before anything like this is ever implemented.

The only way a flying fortress like that would be able to not get shot down instantly would be to have nigh infinite health, which is lame, or have it be a base-like thing with destructible generators, which could be fun. Also I really want a right-handed minigun for my MAX. You get so much better at killing infantry when you have two.

Awesome interview here [url]http://kotaku.com/5963778/planetside-2s-art-director-is-answering-your-questions-live[/url] Some neat bits include plans to bring gal spawning back via a cert (except this time it'll be a squad-only spawn for balance), 3 new conts planned for next year, and they plan on introducing inter-connential conquest mechanics in once they bring more conts online. Seeharus, Volcanic map is the next one to expect More vehicles like buggies/snowmobiles coming better color-blind support Most of the focus in the next two months is entirely optimizations Will probably add a shooting range and flight/driver course in the nearish future

You guys do realise it doesn't say anything about it flying right? It might be a water craft.

praise the lord, buggies
