Planetside 2

MajesticDonkey

Anyone else looking forward to this? I've been following some on the footage that's being released on Youtube over the last few days, as the NDA has just been removed.

Battles of over 2000 players in the same map, amazing looking weapon and player customisation, massive maps, and free-to-play...:D

ha just came here to start a thread on it myself. Oh my god the game looks amazing! Can't wait for it. Does anyone know how to get a beta key for it? I signed up to it ages ago but don't know if I'll get into that. We need to get the whole Craggy crew into it so we can get a nice platoon going.

MajesticDonkey

Yeah I signed up as well. I'd say it won't be too long til they start giving out keys, as the NDA was just released Friday I think.

ktulu123

Major question though, is there some kind of C4 in this? :P

MajesticDonkey

THERE IS!

Got my veteran beta access couple of weeks ago, its going to be some game once finished.

By the way theres large thread over on the massively multiplayer forum.

2000 people in same map, sounds very cool, but what will be the real numbers with CODfishbrain people in it too.
all this always sounds great on a paper ( MAG etc ), but very rarely works as intended.

still looking forward and OFC i will give it a go. :P

Sign up to twitter and follow @planetside2 and just ask for a key, i'm not sure how long it would take to get access from a twitter key though. I'm using a veteran account.

That mmo forum is hopeless, planetside doesn't really target the general mmo population. It's more for the battlefield/call of duty crowd, it's completely free too

Its an mmo for sure and always has been.
The planning and tactics involved in large guilds of 100-200 + members all assaulting in a planned manner fits right in with the mmo pvp player.
Back in PS1 i was in a guild/clan who regularly ran battles with 100+ people on voice comms, with a few leaders so to speak directing things.
Planetside is unique in the sence that it can attract both mmo and the BF/COD crowd as you put it, although your average run and gun cod player wont get far it they treat it like cod.

KilOit

You can still approach it with a lone wolf attidude, was doing s bit of rocket spamming in my scythe yesterday for an hour or 2 with the scythe timer implant, good craic! Felt very much like bf3 flying only 10 times better. It's large like an mmo but you still got your small outpost battles if you choose to fight in them.
There's something for everyone in this game, any fps fan owe it to themselves to give it a try

Watching the TB PAX stream last night, and by god it looked amazing. Turned it on just as a 30 or so Max squad was using a jump pad to storm a base. Looked amazing. Can't wait to get in.

Anyone else have problems with VOIP not working? I cant hear squad mates & I cant talk myself. Works for other games so its not on my end

haven't joined a squad so i cant tell ya about that but proximity talk is working for me, but i had it turned up too high and whenever anyone talked it sounded scratched or something so it needed to be turned down

ktulu123

That's not even working for me. I might just download it again and see if that works.
