Planetside 2 launches on PC, featuring up to 2000 players in each battle...

This isn't game for ADD gamers. If you're someone who easily gets frustrated, look elsewhere. If you can use your brain and have a decent rig, welcome to one of the greatest shooting experiences ever created.

Seems like the perfect game for ADD gamers. Hundreds of people running around to shoot, bullets and explosions flying everywhere. That's all they really want.

Except it's nothing like that. Going it alone gets you killed fast.

[QUOTE="Mrcod11"] I'm on Connery with the New Conglomerate. Sent you a FR on Steam.

Mrcod11

Think my TR character is on that server :twisted:

My NC character is on a different server.

You've probably killed me before, being a medic I'm like always a KoS, even being behind a squad somehow a bullet finds me....or a tank....damn tanks...

Strange how I had so many connection issues on the full release but the beta had none. Seems like NZ players have been having a heap of trouble. I had to use a tunnel to get the launcher to download the remaining files then turn it off to create a character and login.

Beta always has less amount of players playing than live.

Just for fun... I tried playing this like it was CoD for a few lives.

I got killed a lot and barely contributed to the team. Then I went back and played it as a team game, and greatly helped repelling the enemy.

"Combat Medics can heal you, if you stop running around. I SAID IF YOU STOP RUNNING AROUND! This is also why you get picked last."

So ****ing true.

Myself and a few other medics I've seen have said the exact same thing lol.

Pretty sure the issue has nothing to do with player counts, unless of course SOE is giving priority to users closer to their servers so those in middle earth like me just get their requests dropped. The game itself runs much smoother than the beta though, even with the aussie server having far more people than in the beta. Not sure if I will keep playing Briggs or go back to a US west server, would need to test the connection.

It sounds like Planetside 2 isn't for you. Your loss. :(

Yesterday I started downloading the game but was taking too long.. gave up and paused it.. Will give it another try today..

However watched a few vids on youtube and with proper teamwork the game looks like loads of fun

Wtf EVERYONE on my Steam friends list is playing. I must play now

I've actually had a lot of people thanking me when I rez/heal them, although the occasional "derp" ones go try and fight right after I rez them which is funny when they get 1 shot with 20% HP.

There are these things called vehicles. Join a squad or an outfit. Use the instant action on your map to get to the battle. It's a lot better to play this game with other people and large platoons. I bet your dumbass sprinted for about 15 minutes. Didn't you?Jebus213

[QUOTE="Mrcod11"]

lol at all you hermits not being able to handle someone not liking the game. Stevo just said a little comment and every hermit under the sun is mad.

OB-47

If this is the case then I guess he's wrong. Still, a lot of people can't handle any criticsm of the game. If anything, Stevo's comment shows that PS2 might not make the best first impressions.

Added you in Steam, played PS2 last night and loved it, although I am VS and think of you TR as filthy scum to be removed from the universe so we might not be able to join forces.

You may well look forward to it, but it's likely you won't ever see me until you die in horrible infiltrator manufactured pain...

ITT: Mastershake hasn't a clue what PS2 is about, and makes it seem like we're all in the wrong.

It's Mastershake, if it's not vanquish or nier it's crap to him. Just ignore the crap he says, I know it's hard but he will eventually go away.

I wouldn't know. Most of my experience with the game consisted of walking around in this HUB like area for 10 minutes trying to find a vehicle, then hopping into a tank with some dude, and finally us taking on a whole desert together by ourselves. We were formidable foes, driving our death machine in many a circle conquering the infinite sands, but in the end the desert was too much for me and I submitted to it's divine boredom. Oh, and there was the occasional enemy space craft that casually flew over head. I took a few shots at it. The pilot seemed to be enjoying a nice sandwich while listening to some tunes over the radio, paying no mind to my flying hot lead and lust for combat. 'Twas a poetic, but ultimately unfulfilling quest.

Master_ShakeXXX

So you don't understand how the terminals work, resources, or certifications. Didn't take advantage of any of the squad spawning features, the instant action features.

So you walked around the warpgate for a few minutes wondering where the fight was instead of opening up your map, seeing the frontlines, and then using the obvious instant action deploy buttons to hot drop straight into the action.

I know this games isn't the easiest game to learn, but good god, it's like you were expecting the game to play itself for you.

So I jumped in for a few. Killed me a tank, and had me a "star Wars" moment hat blew my mind. I was on a heavy passanger truck and enemy ships flew overheard ina snowy landscape. Felt like I was in Hoth!

Any vids you guys would recommend to a newbie. I am so lost.

I'm on the red team... but guys wiht a red marker are NOT, appaarently my buddies. The blue guys are. Argh!

So I was playing some Planetside 2 jut a few moments ago, I think my skill is improving ever so slightly, but the chat man, the chat. Some guys kept whining about how the game sucks because NC are supposedly Underpowered and Vanu are overpowered.

I think my IQ dropped by a few points listening to their whines.

Maroxad

You get used to that. The grass is always greener on the other side.

The question I have to ask is: for someone who loves BF3 to death, who believes BF3 is the greatestMPFPS ever, as I do, will I enjoy this?

Yeah I know, it's free, easy to try, etc, but my free time is too scarce. It's either one or the other.

I dont know about you guys, but I am glad they added those restrictions on the MAXes (cooldown, resource cost), nice to see them not being overabundant this time.

Yeah it always is.

A lot of players out there are prone to blame failures on anything but themselves. I wouldnt be surprised if those whiners were also lone wolves (the chat also implied they were). I find all 3 factions to be relatively balanced so far. Not perfect, but certainly more well balanced than the alpha.

It's probably the fact that a lot of the PS1 vets went Vanu and are...*gasp*...working together :P

The Vanu's only real advantage is the lack of bullet drop and their tanks can dodge

I would buy this if I was sure my comp could run it a decent FPS (it probably cant)

As a Vanu infiltrator who is currently ranked 89th all time on the player list after 7 hours of play total, I would invite you to test the glory of the Sovereignty in battle before you open your mouth again!

No but seriously, being a Vanu infiltrator is horribly good fun, I am loving it.

nunovlopes

As a fellow BF3 fan I'm going to assume you have a taste for high production value, the finest gameplay and shooting mechanics available today, and the most immersive multiplayer action possible? If that's the case, no.

But the game is free to play so try it out anyways ya dope.
