Brrrrrr.. Hope I can unlock some thermal long johns upon arrival.

[Johari]

Does the VS HA about half way in have a new helmet or atleast a full face cover?

[Zeiban]

I don't think that single TR on the ice was going to make it.

[MaxDamage]

Looks like Indar but white. Concepts were nice though. Ah well.

Why do you automatically dislike a map that you haven't even played?

Completely different play style.

CANNNNNOTTT WAIT ANY LONGER.

Somehow the Internet turned being negative into a virtue.

[EVILoHOMER]

I hate this blur/bloom they slap over everything in the game, wish I could turn it off and just make everything crisp because it makes the game look like crap.

Haters gonna hate ;) True story.

[Tatwi]

LA at the end there should have jumped up and put C4 on that scythe and shot through the glass at the pilot. Not a Planetside 2 movie without it, eh.

[Hamma]

Looking forward to the different playstyle.

[Aaron]

Looking forward to the different playstyle.

That is what I'm most looking forward to in this map.

The snowstorms on esamir look exactly like the sandstorms on indar except its color.....

Well Mr. "Everything is just awesome" i am not part of the soe marketing team. If i think something look a bit cheap i say so. using the same particle effect for a sandstorm and a snowstorm is somekind of cheap. I would say to same about your awesome 3d car models if you use the same wheels for each one of them.

If you just wanna hear how awesome everthing is i suggest only reading the announcements of smed and the devs.

[Rago]

I whish the would fix some more Bugs or rebuilt the whole thing for better Performance or even fix the Quad=Flash Physics instead of releasing the Froststrom map whis is called Esamir,...

[TerminatorUK]

Looks great - really benning to fall in love with Planetside 2 finally!

The new VS infiltrator colours are reslly blending into the white snow well :D

Now where's my VS bolt-action sniper rifle unlock ;)

[maradine]

unrelated context

Need to slap some STaSIS pipes on the back of that S5, brother. :)

After a play session or two I give Esamir 5/5 mehs.

[MonsterBone]

I love it the tunnels and hills are epic. The fog sucks though.

[Shogun]

haven´t played very long on esamir yet, but i like the more open design!

but the fog really sucks. the game could be so beautiful, but 95% of the time the beauty is covered up in stupiid fog. i really hope the weather will change! it´s ok, to have fog sometimes, but don´t cover up the whole beautiful world all the time!
we saw so many awesome screenshots with a crisp hd world, but the ingame experience is always blurry, even on high quality with a badass gamer rig.
that´s sad.

is this blurry fog thing a way to lower hardware needs, or is it really an artistic decision? if it´s artistic, it´s a massive fail and i am hoping to see continents that are not affected by sand- or snowstorms!

[McGrahamable]

looks great

[Fragr]

Damn, looking good!

[Pohabych]

looks damn awesome

[lothriell]

Looking forward to the new playstyle... :)

[hodinique]

:) true

@Shogun and others.

That weird 'blur' thats layered over everything in the world is actually from a graphics setting being set to high. Right pisses me off because i like the bloom and glow effects but that blur is tied into a handful of other graphic settings. If i could remember the exact name I would say, but i think its simply labeled 'graphics'. It is torwards the top on the right side on the video options settings. Turn that to low and that weird blur goes away.

Doesnt stop infantry details from appearing blurry though.

[thirontiger]

cant wait to play planetside 2, i played the first and this is making me want to go mad beacuse im missing out
