Planetside 2! 11.20.2012!

Damn I just realized this is a free to play game...lame. So basically the game is pay to win I'm guessing?

not really

its like Tribes:Ascend in that you can pay for XP boosts and unlocks, also some skins I believe, but nothing that makes you directly more powerful. Its like paying to unlock stuff in BF3.

Anything you can pay for you can get by playing and earning resources/certs as well.

As someone who put 20+ hours into the beta, can't wait for launch. The game is tons of fun and I really want to get my hands on the rest of the content, as well as get some friends involved. It's not pay-to-win, unlocks can be earned or bought. The only things that require real money are cosmetic. Highly recommended.

They removed shotguns from infiltrators!!!

Calling bank for chargeback, brb.

I'll be in the game for sure, if the beta was an indicator this will be a good game to pick up.

its better than halo, I bought Alpha Squad the day Halo 4 came out instead of showing love to my xbox.. heck I havent bought an 360 game in years

I am excited. Its the closest PC gamers will get to halo. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Thats a shame, I only really played it while in Beta and the balance was solid. Hopefully Planetside 2 doesn't go the same route if it doesn't make as much money for the developers as they hoped.

Why are you comparing it with halo? it's closer to BF3.....just because its futuristic it's being compared to Halo??

BF3 is pretty much Halo in older times to be fair. lol. IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

Lol Planet Side 2: Bane Edition -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go9zh0DJS_Y&feature=g-all-lik

I love how everyone just follows him becuse he sounds like Bane and he soon takes charge of the situation!

Deckard Cain For the win :P

you need to turn the volume up a bit the sound is pretty low

34 hours!!!!!!!

So close now

No, I do not think everything is like Halo. From a general perspective, they share a few things in common. Many vehicles being the most predominant. As far as PS2 and Halo, they have vehicles and the futuristic setting both make it look about the same. Dont read too much into this.

I plan on giving this mmo a try.

Seems like a good game, I guess with a good team that really work together and use voice coms you can really make a difference and get a good game experience :)

Are there any differences between the three factions available?K4ss3r

I just want to play this game!!!:cry:

So close

Planetside 2 is live.

Start downloading ASAP.

restarting steam fixed it :)

Ill try this after getting my Hitman a d Fallen Enchantress fix :P

not letting me download on steam.. saying no subscription

Flubbbs

Restart steam, go in offline mode then go in online mode should fix it, had the same thing happen.

Downloading it now :)

do you have to download via steam?

I played the early beta maybe up until the first week ended and I just stopped. I was a bit dissapointed with the lack of an MMO feeling due to how they had multiple decisions on the gameplay design resulting in a faster, less organised and meaningful zergfest.

I was aware the game was "free to play" but I didn't think this meant entirely free, so I'm going to try it out.

do you have to download via steam?

lostrib

Nope.

Steam just downloads you the launcher. You can get the launcher from their website.

Can't believe how badly it runs :(

Unless they've improved performance since the beta where i was getting 30fps or less on medium.

Downloading this now.

So how much has changed from the client?

Looks like launching through steam automatically pops up a UAC window everytime. That could get annoying, might switch to the regular launcher

Servers might just be overloaded? also, I dont know about AMD, but Nvidia released beta drivers for Planetside 2 today

downloading, hope it doesn't run badly and i hope it's not P2W or lamenutcrackr

The beta definitely didnt seem pay 2 win

This games website / login ritual is the most annoying one I've encountered in a long time. After creating a new account, which took about 30 mins because of 502 errors on their website, I finally got to try and start the game.

It now tells me that I have to change my password, in trying to do this it tells me that cookies must be enabled, including possibly 3rd party cookies. So I disabled all cookie blocking, thinking I'll switch it back on after this strange change your password request on the account I've just created and it still says switch on f'king cookies.

GrrrArrrrgh!

Maybe one day I'll get to try but I doubt that it's going to be tonight.
