    Signing up now.
    Kind of reminds me of a bigger version of BF2. Which is NOT a bad thing in my eyes at all.

    I like his explanation of capture points ... being AS LARGE AS whole maps in other FPS MMO

    DAMN!



    * * * Edit -
    Yes they are taking account creation to stand in line for a slow roll out of the beta.
    So hurry up and wait.

    None the less. Done.

    Some people that do a gaming podcast I listen to play PS1 and it really sounds like a hoot.

    My only issue is it's Sony.... they have (at least in the past) massive security issues - so beware if you use a cash shop or other means of direct connection from you to them with a CC or bank info on file.

    The did add PayPal to the approved method of payment so that "should be" a good buffer.

    just making you all aware.

    Ugh a post from my friend that is died in the wool Planetside nut.

    PlanetSide 2 needs a colossally powerful PC to run and lacks all the strategic & logistical elements of the original!


    Not good news.

    it is beta...I can see the issue with a "powerful PC". Is he a fanboy of PS? fanboys of any product tend to fall in either of the extremes when a new product comes out.

    Definitely worrisome but it is still in BETA and a lot could change. Only time will tell.

    Yes I guess I'd classify him as a (rabid?) fanboy.

    The article he penned for massively does not mention it though about the need for a hot PC....

    But one was a personal though the other an article on the beta for public consumption.

    Still looks like a good game.

    So I got access to the BETA. It is pretty fun, my beast of a machine has some lag issues, but not sure if it is on my end or the game's end. I only played for a couple of hours and it basically feels like BF2142 only a hell of a lot larger.

    Should be a really good game especially if they stick with the F2P model.

    A little FYI, If you tweet @planetside2 with a witty comment or some type of roleplaying comment about the game, they might send you a beta key instead of waiting for more beta invite waves.

    Release date of 11/20/2012 has been announced!

    I have been having an absolute blast in this game. If you still want to get access to the BETA you can either tweet at @planetside2 or signup at planetside-universe.com and use the BETA exchange tool to get a key.

    I am on Thebe server. Player name "Hadaka". I have joined an outfit called Sentinels and usually play with them via TeamSpeak. I can jump on our TeamSpeak when we are both on and sorta show you the ropes.

    The game has a very steep learning curve.
  13. #13
    YA, of course nothing is easy, its taken me this long to get to DL....they kept giving me a red screen saying cannot process request at this time.
    should be playing by tonight.

    This is a no shitter - Mike use to have to pull the cable from the side of his house AND DRAIN IT after a rain storm a year or so ago......

    Canada DOES have it's perks....but high speed internet is not on the list.

    Yes, Canada may have it's perks, but at the end of the day...you still have to live in Canada =P

    Yes, the game is 10x better with team work or finding a Zerg to roll with. I have been playing the game a hell of a lot and only now can I really enjoy just finding a group of people to follow and sorta "solo".

    It is a little more Run'n'Gun than BF3 until you get better. The whole Cert (upgrade points) system is a little confusing and because it is a BETA there isn't much explanation on what weapons do and/or attachments do. Hell one discription for an attachment is "Forward Grip: Attaches a forward grip to the gun" Well thanks!

    And I am not joking on the learning curve...it is steep and extremely long, but if you ever want to jump on with me I can help show you the ropes to make it much much easier.

    I am "Hadaka" w/ Vanu on Thebe server.
