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

still got memory leak issue after the update

also I got that 20mm autocannon on the Flash earlier today, that thing is amazing. It'll take down any infantry in no time at all and it makes it incredibly easy to destroy tanks. Would probably do a decent job against aircraft if you parked up high too, like on top of a cliff overlooking an outpost or something

[QUOTE=cdr248;37682618]does it kill things fast?[/QUOTE] You can shoot 5 grenades in 2 and a half seconds, but you can't pivot the gun a whole lot on it's own, so being able to hit stuff partially relies on your ability to keep whatever you're shooting at in front of you. If you just had a heavy assault chilling in front of the gun, watching his feet and not moving, then you could probably kill him with less then a clip. (AKA less then 2.5 seconds.)

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37685192]they're already pretty dependent on luck, the only difference is that right now it's whether or not the other guys have 30 MAX suits on the field[/QUOTE] Any luck in a firefight right now is controllable by the player, intentionally or not. If I see an enemy and panic fire, somehow landing a headshot and killing him, that's luck, yes, but I still did it. If I get hit and killed by a random tank shell, that is bad luck, but still my doing. I put myself in that position. If I see an enemy and line up the perfect headshot, then a randomly generated number decides that my gun should jam at that point, that is the kind of luck which is completely out of the hands of the player and has no place in a competitive game like this.

[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;37685281]competitive[/QUOTE] that's where your mistake is. have fun, it shouldn't be about outdoing everyone else

so i've been messing around with the in-game video capture stuff, and i've noticed the files when i watch them from my videos folder don't have any audio. i've had this problem before with fraps in other games divx and youtube say its an unrecognized audio format but i have no idea how to record in one that is!

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37685294]that's where your mistake is. have fun, it shouldn't be about outdoing everyone else[/QUOTE] The very nature of player vs player games makes them competitive. You are competing against other players, and I wouldn't play the game if I didn't find it fun, even when I'm losing horribly. I can handle losing when it's my own fault. When I lose purely because of a random number, that is [i]not[/i] fun.

competition can be fun but if a dice roll completely ruins your experience you're being too competitive

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37685390]competition can be fun but if a dice roll completely ruins your experience you're being too competitive[/QUOTE] considering a dice roll could decide if you're still in the game or forced to trek upwards of a kilometer to get back in the fight, it's completely reasonable to not want that kind of shit anywhere near ps2 [editline]16th September 2012[/editline] i really have no idea how you could possibly perceive that as 'fun'

remove real time combat replace it with DnD 3.5, GOTY

I've been waiting like 2 weeks for MCGs, those entries in the store are tantalizing

[QUOTE=thisispain;37685461]remove real time combat replace it with DnD 3.5, GOTY[/QUOTE] Few thousand players slowest game of dnd ever played

Will this beta ever become available to the public?

Bought the Hailstorm Turbo Laser and well.. I regret it. It's shit. Negative: Does shit damage against aircraft and it has low ammo compared to the standard cannon. Positive things about it: Fast reload and it's very good at killing infantry.

[QUOTE=Liamhailhail2.0;37686101]Will this beta ever become available to the public?[/QUOTE] Why do you ask for obvious answers?

Can one cap points as MAX? I was MAX last night and couldn't..

[QUOTE=lapsus_;37686639]Can one cap points as MAX? I was MAX last night and couldn't..[/QUOTE] Did your faction have any influence on the base? Otherwise you need to hack it I believe.

[QUOTE=BigBoom;37686686]Did your faction have any influence on the base? Otherwise you need to hack it I believe.[/QUOTE] Regardless, MAXes cannot cap anyway.

Great fight at Scarred Mesa Skydock.

This game sure has a way of making you stop and look at the scenery.

[QUOTE=Turing;37687687]WHAT SETTINGS[/QUOTE] Everything high apart from Ambient Occlusion and Fog Shadows, FOV is 75. You just have to be in the right place at the right time to nab awesome screenshots. Not trying to pull my own rope or anything. :v:

This may be a long shot, but... if anyone would be kind enough to lend me a beta key, i will forever be in their debt. For the glory of the Terran Republic!

So apperantly Infrared Nightvision also comes with X-ray. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4249868/2012-09-16_00006.jpg[/img]

Just started the launcher after not playing for a week or two, 4GB to download!

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;37685036]removing fun would be like making your characters have to eat sleep and pee. A jam in the middle of a firefight can really get your blood pumping.[/QUOTE] Have you ever played Far Cry 2?

I have to ask this very redundant question in this particular thread, just hoping someone might grant me a wish ... Does anyone have a spare key?
