Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG Nearly and hour in and match hasnt started due to Twitch being an ass. Also, perhaps in future the reachcast ppl could take notes of the map and base layout prior to the cast so they aren't giving lame previews on the fly. You already said you had been through the map but couldn't remember everything so making sure you have a pad and pencil next to you shouldnt be too hard. Good luck, I couldn't wait any longer sorry. |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG Just watched the first round, and I have to say, this round was epic. While I prefer SG as a team to support, I must give credit to RGQT for their extremely quick responses to vehicle threats. That Vanguard would've been a gamechanger if RGQT didn't take it down as quick as they did. |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG Great Battle SG, I am sure they will work out the bugs on Rules, Points system and Resources. You guys must have blown through all your resources in the first half, soooo many vehicles. Hope to see you again for a rematch. |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG Breaking down the match, I'd say that both teams underutilized tools at their disposal, like: There were barely any squad beacons placed. Mana turrets were really underused. But not for their direct purpose, but rather to create more infantry cover on the top lane. If it was up to me I would include 1 or 2 air superiority ESFs loaded with maxed out scout radar, acting as UAVs This one is extremely optional, but the upper lane allowed for the wide use of indirect and semi-indirect fire like snipers and artillery 2nd RGQT galaxy would've gone further at the beginning of the match if it flew closer to the ground. All and all the distraction technique was quite impressive I'll post more if I remember... |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG On the note of spawn beacons they were banned due to on the test server needing to be lvl 10 to get them. Also squad deploy was broken on the Nexus. So you didn't see that type of play which I think was very interesting. It highlighted teamwork of the medics to keep their team going. |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG The formula really need to get a better standard , i mean the ( clash point ) is kinda more base on luck than anything , it rely more on who is lucky enough to capture the point at the ( clash point momments ) wich is not include into the game itself I would prefer to see a true 48 vs 48 on the nexus with the true nexus rules and capture mechanics , is this feasable ? Iam pretty sure thats we have few outfit who as enough numbers to pull out 48 players each I would really like to see a full scale nexus with a full scale battle and capture to see the flow of the nexus itself and the strategies that can be pulled out  Still a great Pre MLG comunity show Keep going with it |

Re: Community Clash RGQT vs SG Recording Posted the resources are a major problem. i don't think it's really just "a reason to think about how you spend resources." rather, it seriously limits available strategies. with so few resources available, any MR spent are wasted unless they are spent on a sunderer or saved for a future sunderer. possible exception might be a suicide wraith flash used to C4 an enemy sunderer. Liberators, already at a disadvantage to skilled ESFs, are further marginalized in this format by AR considerations. maybe you could see non-pilots preparing load outs and supplying ESFs to pilots, but it seems like a very clunky workaround that puts the team at an even further infantry pop disadvantage. the format provides for multiple bases to be conquered but the reality of the lattice and the capture time only permits one base battle per "half." so there is no functional difference between this and a standard TDM map in any other game. one of the most important features of planetside 2 is wide scale combat that takes place at novel locations between capture points. so far this just seems like a generic FPS match with a planetside theme. the only important factors seem to be sunderers and infantry. for some people that may be enough, but it really doesn't capture the scope of planetside 2. if one of the purposes of competitive gaming in PS2 is to increase the playerbase, this type of watered down format is going to be somewhat counter-productive, in that it presents a fraction of the actual experience. finally, there could be some improvements to the presentation to help the audience feel some dramatic tension in the ebb and flow of the battle. if you don't really have any stakes in either side, or have little experience in the game, hearing the arbitrary scores rattled off seemingly out of nowhere, based on the actions of two dozen scurrying, nameless little toons, doesn't do it on its own. it may take more preparation on the part of the presentation team, and even on the part of the players, but calling out plays by player name and focusing more on "embedded" views where the audience can hear player interactions would go a long way. also presenting a "shot clock" and a scoreboard would be HUGE for helping the audience follow along. it just isn't tense to hear "the clash point has passed and the score is ##-##," after the fact. we need to know it before it happens so we can feel it coming and get that moment of release when the anticipation breaks and the outcome is known. that said, good job to everyone involved, congrats to everyone to who participated. despite initial skepticism, and my critical tone above, i enjoyed the stream and look forward to the future of competitive matches in planetside 2. |
