My thoughts on gameplay.

[Director Gowe]

Hello Planetside Community
my name is
Gowe.

what should be put in.
I couldn't find a place I could post my ideas.
So here are my simple Idea's really.
But if you can move this into the post after I'd appreciate it.

1. The ability to duel wield Pistols for our soldiers.

2. To have some form of a med pack 1 use only if we have no medic around.

3. Infiltrators ability to climb walls.

4. Being able to call down airstrikes - varies with each faction

5. Being able to call down for equipment - eg. More Ammo, or getting an ATV

6. Have helicopters with the possibility of side guns for friends to hop on.

7. Have a cool infantry first person interface when on the ground - tells you weather and allows you to see enemies in the night more clearly.

8. (Refer to Star wars republic commando). That electric visor wiper that clears of dirt and blood would be cool.

9. hand to hand combat that does not involve the gun e.g. kicks & punches.

10. Brutal Assassinations.

11.*** Space combat*** victory in taking out ships from space mean you can lend support to your troops on the ground. Reinforcements from space.
You guys can do it don't say we cant.

12. the ability to have AI assist us in-game, best tactic to take, possible obstacles and weak points. *Jarvis and the like*

13. Some sort of Submarine, and Boat Combat.

14. Special missions like safe the Target.

15. Assassinate the target. Making capturing and hex go much faster.
Heck the target can be SONY employees who play the game.

16. Training grounds and simulation areas. Can go solo or in teams of 2,4,6,10.

17. Vehicle like the halo Warthog.

Take care and please reply and discuss the ideas I posted.

[Revanmug]

man, I'm usually good at telling when someone is sarcastic or not but this time... I can't.

[IHateMMOs]

I can tell how old a person by looking at his post. Your age is... 10.

[Rivenshield]

Not to be dismissive, OP, but you might want to read the FAQ. We're getting Galaxy gunships, med packs, and much else you seem to want.

I don't understand. Are you in the Tech test? Either way, I don't see a basis for this thread.

[Vanath]

You should probably start reading into the game a bit more.

Pretty much what they said.

[Grimster]

IBTL ? :)

[Envenom]

double post oopsie

[Trolltaxi]

Welcome to the boards Gowe! I hope you will feel home - after you are over the hammering you'll get for this thread.

This game and the community defines itself as very different for current top shooter games, especially COD, HALO and BF3 ("hatred" lowers in this order).

This game is meant to play way more tactically on a much larger scale - your ideas would promote gameplay in generic shooters, but not Planetside.

[Envenom]

I can tell how old a person by looking at his post. Your age is... 10.

Nailed it.

[lMABl]

Looking at the title of the thread I thought someone was going to break the NDA.

[Barbapapa123]

don't just disregard his suggestions. while most are features frowned upon by long-time PS players like dual-wielding, or anything that makes PS2 more of a twitch run and gun shooter, I actually like the visor wiper. just small attention to detail goes a long way.

I know where OP and the rest of you guys come from, just expect more opinions like OP's since SOE is targeting his demographic as proved by the cinematic trailer's youtube tags.

[Renegadeknight]

most of your suggestions would move away from what the game is going for so I'll just respond to the ones that could work or are possible.

4- I believe people with a command rank of 5 can call orbital strikes which is equivalent to this. It is also possible to set up player missions to influence near by players to give you air support.

5- I think one of the classes carries extra ammo. It is possible for a player to load a vehicle into a galaxy and fly it to a location.

6- Galaxy gunship or liberator fill this role.

7- Think I heard of thermal vision so that might work. As for weather, just look up.

16- they had a vr tutorial in ps1 so it could be added.

17- they had buggies in ps1 that filled a similar role. Think I read here that SOE might add them in the future.

[Gugabalog]

Sadly, no :(

[Mr DeCastellac]

1. The ability to duel wield Pistols for our soldiers.
This is Planetside, not Max Payne. Sorry!

2. To have some form of a med pack 1 use only if we have no medic around.
That would make the medic somewhat defunct, yeah? Besides, regenerating shields buys you enough time to find one.

3. Infiltrators ability to climb walls.
They're mostly snipers and hackers, I'd leave jumping over base walls to Light Assault.

4. Being able to call down airstrikes - varies with each faction
Well, they have orbital strikes. Or at least, they did in the first game. I see no reason why they should take them out.

5. Being able to call down for equipment - eg. More Ammo, or getting an ATV
I think it's a better idea to have you only able to spawn vehicles from bases, and engineers hand out ammo.

6. Have helicopters with the possibility of side guns for friends to hop on.
No helicopters in game, I don't think. And a lot of the aircraft do have gunner positions.

7. Have a cool infantry first person interface when on the ground - tells you weather and allows you to see enemies in the night more clearly.
Night is meant to be a handicap without using night vision or low-light sights. Also, if I need to see the weather, I'll just look up!

8. (Refer to Star wars republic commando). That electric visor wiper that clears of dirt and blood would be cool.
I don't think they're going to have face-jelly in this game. Though I did really like that in SWRC. Also, "Death Is No Excuse" trailer, right in the beginning he wipes the blood off his mask :P

9. hand to hand combat that does not involve the gun e.g. kicks & punches.
Knives.

10. Brutal Assassinations.
Please no. Please no please no please no. No OHK melee.

11.*** Space combat*** victory in taking out ships from space mean you can lend support to your troops on the ground. Reinforcements from space.
You guys can do it don't say we cant.
Dust 514 is already using a lot of PS1/2's ideas, last thing we need is to be stealing theirs.

12. the ability to have AI assist us in-game, best tactic to take, possible obstacles and weak points. *Jarvis and the like*
As with #1, this is Planetside, not Max Payne Crysis 2.

13. Some sort of Submarine, and Boat Combat.
They've said they are planning on adding nautical bases/combat. Also, join the Vanu if you want to go over water. :D

14. Special missions like safe the Target.
This is more of a constant-PvP game, it doesn't really have missions other than "Capture territory, shoot dudes". They said they might add a system where platoon leaders could give out missions, but no one really knows what that entails.

15. Assassinate the target. Making capturing and hex go much faster.
Heck the target can be SONY employees who play the game.
Neat idea, not sure what others will think of it. Not really sure what I think of it either.

16. Training grounds and simulation areas. Can go solo or in teams of 2,4,6,10.
There were both of those in Planetside 1 where you could go to test out vehicles and weapons in VR with NPC enemies, not sure if it'll be in PS2. I hope so!

17. Vehicle like the halo Warthog.
Sorry, there are already way too many Halo fanboys crying about how this game looks remotely alike (as in, laser guns in the future?)

[DayOne]

1. The ability to duel wield Pistols for our soldiers.
No.

2. To have some form of a med pack 1 use only if we have no medic around.
Yes but only if it replaces something (genade, special grenade etc.)

3. Infiltrators ability to climb walls.
No.

4. Being able to call down airstrikes - varies with each faction
Mission system should take care of this (i hope)

5. Being able to call down for equipment - eg. More Ammo, or getting an ATV
That would be a sunderer

6. Have helicopters with the possibility of side guns for friends to hop on.
That is a galaxy

7. Have a cool infantry first person interface when on the ground - tells you weather and allows you to see enemies in the night more clearly.
You have eyes, nv and thermal scopes

8. (Refer to Star wars republic commando). That electric visor wiper that clears of dirt and blood would be cool.
not really needed but might be cool

9. hand to hand combat that does not involve the gun e.g. kicks & punches.
knives

10. Brutal Assassinations.
I support OHKO knives but ONLY if you cert into it

11.*** Space combat*** victory in taking out ships from space mean you can lend support to your troops on the ground. Reinforcements from space.
You guys can do it don't say we cant.
Possibility of being added post-launch

12. the ability to have AI assist us in-game, best tactic to take, possible obstacles and weak points. *Jarvis and the like*
Is 2000 player pvp not enough?

13. Some sort of Submarine, and Boat Combat.
Possibility of being added post-launch

14. Special missions like safe the Target.
alternate objectives would be cool

15. Assassinate the target. Making capturing and hex go much faster.
Heck the target can be SONY employees who play the game.
This is the same as 14

16. Training grounds and simulation areas. Can go solo or in teams of 2,4,6,10.
I'm pretty sure this will be in anyway but I don't know if you will be able to have other people with you. post-launch maybe.

17. Vehicle like the halo Warthog.
That would be the harasser and it will be added post launch

[Gugabalog]

I think the OHKO knife could work for infiltrators.

[SixShooter]

Hello Planetside Community

I couldn't find a place I could post my ideas.



Well, the Planetside 2 Idea Vault would be a good place. :)

[therandomone]

I think the OHKO knife could work for infiltrators.

I think you should only get that if you spec into the knife, I could definitely support and see that happening.

[Gugabalog]

Yea, a OHKO cert for infiltrators is def a thing I would like. Especially if they gave it a special animation. (It's just one class that specializes in it, so it doesn't seem too HALO-esque to me, even though I dislike the arcade shooter genre)

[The Kush]

Hahahahahahaha I can't even breathe. This is the dumbest thread I have ever seen. And I thought I knew awful..

[JHendy]

12. the ability to have AI assist us in-game, best tactic to take, possible obstacles and weak points.

So you want the game to tell players what to do instead of letting them make their own decisions? Dear mother of holy Jesus...

How on earth could this sound like a good idea to you? In essence, you're asking for linearity to be brought to a sandbox game. You're asking for the best thing about this game to be replaced with what is by far the worst thing about modern games: Linearity and AI 'assisted' handicaps.

If you need assistance, maybe you should think about getting a carer.

What you're suggesting is tantamount to smearing shit all over a priceless oil painting, or taking a hammer to a rare gem.

Words cannot describe how fiendish and evil this suggestion is. You should go and get a job at EA.

[EisenKreutzer]

This belongs in the idea vault.

[Kran De Loy]

This belongs in the idea vault.

Belongs in the trash bin. :evil:

[Sledgecrushr]

Im cool with LA and infiltrators dual wielding pistols. That would be fun.

[Deckura]

No offense, but nearly all of these suggestions are horrible.

[ArmedZealot]

Well aren't y'all just a bunch of welcoming fellows.

[Steambot]

> OP creates thread.

>Never posts again.

[Gugabalog]

Above seems infraction worthy, but one can always appreciate *ahem* feminine beauty.

[Sledgecrushr]

I know functionally dual wielding pistols is silly. But really I could give a shit abiut functionality when it comes to style. It would just be bad assed to be a sci fi gun slinger, with a jet pack. All you generic modern shooter fans can bite it.

17. Vehicle like the halo Warthog.

Take care and please reply and discuss the ideas I posted.

1. Went out of style with golden eye and counterstrike. Though it might be cool to be like Jango Fett as a Light Assault.

2. You can buy those with resources; or make friends.

3. I'm an Assasin's Creed fan too, but no.

4. This is not Call of Duty. Make friends and call in a real airstrike.

5. This is not Battlefield 2. There will be terminals everywhere to get more ammo or see part 2 of answer 2.

6. That I can sort of agree to. A smaller air transport than galaxy. Or you can just drive the sunderer around.

7. I know they have Thermal scopes, dunno about goggles.

8. As a Republic Commando fan, yeah, I want that too for times when it rains (either water or blood).

9. I don't know if we even have knives. Noone uses them in the videos. Would like to hit someone with my gun though.

10. Because shooting people with everything from assault rifles to cannon shells isn't brutal enough. :confused:

11. I like Battlefront 2 but I really wonder if that would work. Maybe it could be the new version of fighting over caves.

12. naaah. Make friends, join an outfit with voip and ask real people what's going on. See part 2 of point 2.

13. Would like to an archepeligo type continent with boats and hovercraft.

14. The missions are probably going to be more limited. Maybe a squad commander or platoon commander could issue a guard mission.

15. naaah. Never was a fan of "kill the devs" psychosis.

16. yeah, bring back the VR areas. Want to test a new gun before I pay real money for it.

17. I prefer to call it the Puma...

[Bobby Shaftoe]

I'm surprised every single one of OPs ideas aren't already in game.

Welcome to the PSU community full of bittervets (such as me), who'd like PS2 to have far more in common with PS1 than it does currently (ie name only).

The 'modern' fps 'gamers' (anyone that shouts out bittervet every other word or dismisses anything PS1 related), who want it to be carbon copies of the current slieu of generic fps franchises but super sized.

And people like you... who appear to want to have an almost silly level of fun and I like that attitude far more than anyone elses here, so you get a +1 from me.

[Gugabalog]

I'm no bittervet and still spit it.

No to COD, BF, AND HALO!

[avpmaster]

Op, I suggest creating a new account to clear reputation and avoid future ridicule.

[Temperance]

I can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or not, but nearly all of these ideas are terrible or irrelevant.

1. The ability to duel wield Pistols for our soldiers.
- Why does everyone think this is a good idea!? There's a reason no one intelligent dual wields IRL, one properly aimed pistol is outrageously more effective.

2. To have some form of a med pack 1 use only if we have no medic around.
- Makes the medic class redundant and unbalances gameplay.

3. Infiltrators ability to climb walls.
- No. Infiltrators have enough going for them already.

4. Being able to call down airstrikes - varies with each faction
- Okay, I actually like this one...but as it's already been stated I think there's orbital strikes already in the game.

5. Being able to call down for equipment - eg. More Ammo, or getting an ATV
- Makes the engineer class redundant.

6. Have helicopters with the possibility of side guns for friends to hop on.
- Liberator's already in the game.

7. Have a cool infantry first person interface when on the ground - tells you weather and allows you to see enemies in the night more clearly.
- I like a good HUD as much as the next guy, but weather is obvious and night should handicap a player who isn't properly equipped for night combat.

8. (Refer to Star wars republic commando). That electric visor wiper that clears of dirt and blood would be cool.
- Again would be definitely be cool, but largely irrelevant as there is no visor splatter effects.

9. hand to hand combat that does not involve the gun e.g. kicks & punches.
- Ever played any of the Elder Scrolls games? Remember how much of a clusterf*ck the combat is? Now add 2000 people...nuff said.

10. Brutal Assassinations.
- It was dumb and unwieldy in Halo, it'll be dumb and unwieldy here.

11.*** Space combat*** victory in taking out ships from space mean you can lend support to your troops on the ground. Reinforcements from space.
You guys can do it don't say we cant.
- Interesting concept, but already sounds too much like Dust 514/EVE Online.

12. the ability to have AI assist us in-game, best tactic to take, possible obstacles and weak points. *Jarvis and the like*
- That's what squad leaders/platoon leaders/CL5's are for. Also the game shouldn't need to tell you how not to suck at it.

13. Some sort of Submarine, and Boat Combat.
- Good idea, but they've already mentioned some sort of naval component in future expansions.

14. Special missions like safe the Target.
-I assume you mean "Save the Target" and no, the game is complex enough without adding some arbitrary missions that are on-par with fetch quests.

15. Assassinate the target. Making capturing and hex go much faster.
Heck the target can be SONY employees who play the game.
- Again, needlessly complicates things.

16. Training grounds and simulation areas. Can go solo or in teams of 2,4,6,10.
- Not a bad concept, but I've always felt that no amount of fake combat can prepare you for the real thing. You'll just have to die a lot and learn from your mistakes.

17. Vehicle like the halo Warthog.
Sunderer > Warthog

[IHateMMOs]

Sorry if we're being harsh for your first time posting on the forums, but when you suggest things without looking into the game, there's a problem. You need to think through the suggestions before posting them, if they make sense. You just posted all the things you thought were cool. You're making suggestions that would have alienated the game, mainly because you don't know what the game, or its predecessor are like. This is not Halo, or CoD, or BF... or Assassins Creed.

[Bobby Shaftoe]

10. Brutal Assassinations.

Those bad mouthing the OP or dismissing his ideas should be worried, you're going to be top of his list for the above.

They should add all his suggestions for beta, then we can see if they work or not.

I agree. Just turned into another "I'm a vet and my day isn't complete until I bring up how much I hate everything that other people enjoy" thread.

[Gugabalog]

Not a vet, and I still hate it.

[Hamma]

This thread is full of disgusting replies.

This community is better than this, if you don't have valid responses to the OP's post.. DO NOT POST.
