In the last months i was one of these vets claiming this game will fail because of the lack of several game mechanics.
I have to admit that since the amerish patch ps2 rocks as hell. The fights last longer! The factions meet each other on the battlefield. Less ghost hacks. And the list goes on and on. Todays experience let me say the first time that ps2 is better than ps1! if the game allow intercontinental warfare in the near future by providing more continents and good meta game mechanics and a better performance ps2 will be THE UEBER GAME FOR THE NEXT DECADE.

who else changed his mind and see a bright future for ps2?

Amerish itself is an awesome Continent; balanced terrain and pretty good hex sizes.

Taking the sequentially out of unlocks also helped immensely, as I love my new under-slung Grenade Launcher.

Ditto, I was amazed with Amerish, the game has turned around alot since early beta.

amerish is an incredible achievement.
They finally made aircraft viable but not too poweful.
Almost everything works now.

Amerish is everything the other continents should be, truly a masterpiece, just the continent and base layouts alone fixed so many of the issues in the game.

Agreed, a very good patch. Good job there.

Better performance, support / scout xp, nice deploy animations and a continent that plays better than the previous ones. Really nice. :cool:

It's really great. Especially the performance increases.

Anyone want to expand on the support xp? What did they decide on? I want to know if I need to complain more.

I've been watching some streams, and it seems better, but TTK is still too fast.

Well, repairing base facilities is now pretty painful... with the overheating glue-gun, but i assume you can cert into heat-sinks or something for it ;p

Well you get a little XP now when a target you've spotted gets killed...

Hacking terminals grant xp now, I can confirm. Thank god - that was kinda bullcrap before.

What about healing, reviving, and resupplying?

What about healing, reviving, and resupplying?

All of it gives XP.

Resupply gives 10 XP per tick

Repair on MAXes actually gives 15 XP, where on vehicles and terminals 5 or 10 (depending on squad or not)

Healing gives 5 or 10 per tick (depending on squad or not)

Revives are 75 base, 100 for squad

And all support XP is now properly getting bonuses from Population bonuses.

Over all, I am enjoying playing my medic and Engi much more.

Hasn't it be this way for over a month?

+1.

This is the only thing that has frustrated me about the recent patch. It's a big nerf, especially as the turrets continue to burn out whilst you are waiting for your gun to cool down - two steps forward, one step back. Makes me want to not bother.

Other than that - Amerish is beautiful and well designed (although I did manage to find my way under a mountain; about 4:50 on this clip).

Amerish First Look

Had some intense action later on that I believe surpasses anything I have yet experienced so far.

Thanks for the details. More questions though! If a player's completely out of ammo, or completely out of health (1%), how much xp would a complete resupply or heal give respectively?

still holding out, tried Amerish on an alt char, end up watching the VS spawn camp a tower they cannot hold.

End up watching other players Rage Quit after getting stuck in a camped spawn room and the only othere option was warpgate.

Hate to say this but I agree with them. This game is ......

It only rocks if you play TR. Even then it only rocks if you are a simpleton and do not know any better.

I love my new under-slung Grenade Launcher.

I love it too, in fact I've nicknamed it 'My little buddy'
