A nice trailer for a very nice game

[eatenalive]

I'm sure some, if not most, of you have heard about PlanetSide 2. I for one have been doing nothing else for the last few weeks, so basically I just posted this because people usually skip over this game without having a good look (and boy should you do so). Its free off steam or the PlanetSide website so there's no reason not to try it. And pretty conveniently they put my signature down there, in the script at the end. So yeah 'nuff said

Merry Early Christmas everyone

Eaten

ALOT of people from this server have been playing this game. Its a very fun game. What server do you play on? Most people from MCA are on matherson and as the vanu faction.

In my humble opinion it destroys halo 4 and battlefield 3 (kind of feels like it has elements from both). Super balanced for a f2p game.

Apparently water combat is coming too.

 

[eatenalive]

I'm VS in the AU Briggs server. And yeah this blows BF3 and CODBO2 out of the (soon to come) water. I actually wasnt aware that many people from here played it. Shame you cant transfer accounts between servers. Oh well, a fresh start might be welcome. And just for boredom's sake, highest kill streak + where + what class.

 

[RefinedCode]

Is it possible to find that out? Dont see it in my stats. I almost exclusively play light assault though.

 

[astraeasan]

I also play the game
I love it!
also stats like highest kill streaks tell nothing
I make few kills
But that is because I usually fly liberators and sneak cap places

Ya I agree, there is so much you can do to help in this game, and they dont count kill assists even if you do the critical damage. But I notice my KDR IS going up finally now that im good with my gun lol. Sometimes i just walk around repairing turrets while listening to music not getting kills for long periods of time.

You my good sir are terribly mistaken. Of course stats tell nothing of the player nor his expertise, but that is not all there is to tell. Things like that tell you where the best spots are, what specific designs people will overlook, usually helps to have a certain faction, which weapons/attachments are the best tools for that job, and finally it will tell you how to defend that area, or how to be placed so that defense is not a necessary option.

Also, Refined, I do not believe it is worthy enough of recording in the devs eyes as of yet, but surely if it was a decent enough slaughter you would remember it

 

[RefinedCode]

Im almost exclusively playing scythe now, and with the light PPA im getting killstreaks of 45 easy by just hitting ground targets, its very fun until you get rammed by somone on your own team. I look forward to the new dynamic exp system in 10 days! I hear a volcanic continent with caves is also coming with a special resource used to make some sort of explosives.

Also you will be able to transfer between servers in the next big update, I dont know whether that is going to be good for the game or not, but I certainly dont enjoy playing with this guy on my server and I hear hes moving to connery, yay!:

 

[eatenalive]

The only problem with scythe only is that it takes quite a while to get all the necessary upgrades. But it makes sense with the light assault. But focusing purely on vehicle combat, especially one type, would be fairly slow unless you took the spawn timer right down. But a few less Mosquitos never hurt anyone.

That update will be a welcome one, as switching servers to join some mates and then having to go back to basics is not fun. That new continent will be good news for TR snipers. Both other factions have places that camouflage them well, but even though The Terrans have Indar, you can still spot the black figures from anywhere up to a km away. Whereas the vanu and NC are pretty much invisible on Esamir. And the caves will make for some interesting situations. Next on the list is an underwater 'continent'

 

[RefinedCode]

The default armor for vanu is dark purple, that hardly blends into esamir XD

 

[eatenalive]

No the usual classes don't but in this case I was referring to the infiltrators, although not very directly Because normally NC wouldn't blend in to anything with all the yellow, but their infiltrators are just black and blue (ironic isn't it ) And I think Vanu snipers have a sort of advantage because not only do they blend into some environments, but every amp station too, if you know where to sit. Maybe sometime I'll demonstrate if the server switching is put into effect.

 

[RefinedCode]

LOL the guy who told me about the game (BagNDrag) is on the Vanu roster for the UES, so hes getting flown out to los angeles by sony to play planetside!!!

 

[eatenalive]

Dude nice! I might hop on in a couple of hours. Whats your IGN?

 

[RefinedCode]

Sorry by the time you were hopping on I was asleep But for future reference my username is He1senb3rg (Very unoriginal as I constantly see heisenbergs all over )

 

[eatenalive]

xD Righto. You'll know mine when you see it

 

[RefinedCode]

Yo eatenalive, we made a new outfit (2 days with almost 200 members) and we had an idea to turn a galaxy into a high altitude max suit pad where we could take down enemy air outside their warpgate. Check this out:

2 galaxies, one acts as the hovering landing pad for the AA max suits, and the other drops all the maxes on top of it. THen that galaxy goes underneath the pad galaxy to drop all of the engineers on top, and bringing it on top of the landing galaxy. We had 12 AA maxes, with 12 engineers repairing us. And then a few scythes to bait enemy air out of the warp gate. It was one of the coolest things ive done in that game, I can show you it next time i see you online

 

[eatenalive]

Holy. Why didn't I think of that So you made an outfit of 200 in 2 days? Lies xD But sign me up anyway. Imagine the XP a mozzie would haul if he unleashed some pods on you guys. Anyway I'll pop on sometime this week, and if that retroactive purchase 'spreader' is implemented then I might be of more use. Now we something to top that idea. Hmm I'll get back to you on that one

Within a week we are at 300 members: tag is RGQT, not lying A mossie TRIED to unleash pods but he couldnt get within half a kilometer to hit any of us Our demise was the other galaxy smashing into us by accident.

Here is the PSU page: http://www.planetside-universe.com/leaderboard.php?outfit=RAAAGEQUIT

The number 108 is the # of people who have used planetside universe to look up their char, so you can imagine how many people havent looked up their char

Oh and have you seen the buggy:

 

[eatenalive]

No I haven't. And you know what else I don't see after the update? People in the 40-50m mark that must have the cloak 2.0 because as soon as I ADS. Poof! They're gone Also the changes on the biolab pads are super annoying and unnecessary. But that buggy looks nice

 

[RefinedCode]

Uhh what did they change in biolab pads?

Oh and I went on the test server when they were testing the super long infantry render distances, It would be epic if they would add it to the game, I can snipe people from such long distances.
