Re: PlanetSide 2 Tournament at SOE Live While I think the push for espots is good overall, I'm personally not a fan of reducing PS2 to a smaller 5-6 man team environment. I'm sure there will be people who will enjoy watching it and enjoy playing it, but I don't think there's much here that can set PS2 apart from other shooters. I guess it's hard to turn 2000 player battles into esports but still. |

Re: PlanetSide 2 Tournament at SOE Live The problem is that the game isn't built for small squad competitions. All it takes is one person to use something that's a bit OP and farm everyone else. And the moment you start putting all kinds of restrictions in, you make it a joke. Think Brawl+ and how ridiculous it is that the entire game had to be modified to be fit for competition. |
