How long before PS1 goes F2P? Overall this is just an embarrassment.

Maybe it's just because there's a stock and some type of suppressor on it, but that SMG looks awfully big and rifle-ish to me.

I'd settle for at the least, getting all the old decals from PS1 into the game.

Custom decals? We have a niiiice one made up, but not looking forward to all the penises we're going to see everywhere.

So if you make a decal, and upload it to the store, people buy it and you get a cut of the proceeds?

What the hell do any of these posts have to do with the topic?

If you don't have anything to say in response to the screenshot or Tweet don't reply. I wouldn't hold your breath on PS1 F2P for all 300 people that would actually play it.

I've been wanting to use my avatar as my outfit's decal (bigger image link in my sig) for a while now. My friend and I made it last summer in preparation for Planetside 2 after I heard somewhere they may add a custom decal feature to the game.

That is what SOE said. I think they actually gave a % which was pretty generous I thought. But I forget the exact number.

You have to be stern with children, I've heard.

That's an awfully chunky SMG - looks like they took a carbine and rammed a 9mm doublestack into the bottom of it to see what would happen. Makes me wonder how the VS SMGs are going to turn out, since the batteries are all pretty much identical.

Waiting for the ability to bolt the Hai Shi Dao flag to my Lib.

That's a good point. SOE, I'd be ok with waiting for custom decals to get approved if it would prevent the storm of penises.

Yea I highly doubt we will ever see a free reign designer for this stuff. It would end up like APB, galaxies with dicks and swastikas on the side.

Just doesn't look right to me. I mean a SMG is suppose to be a CQB weapon, small, light weight. I read some where, think it was the road map that the ammo count was limited and that just does not seem right. To have a advantage in close combat a SMG needs a high rate of fire, high ammo capacity and maneuverability. And more over why let every class use it? I can understand a HA with a shot gun but a SMG.... This weapon type should only be usable by Infiltrator and Light Assault, the Medic and Engineer is straining it. I am not sure but I am going to put this out there but the shot gun was available to every class in beta now from what my budy tells me it is no longer available for the Infiltrator. WTF SOE? I hope the stats and the proper thought gos into fitting this weapon type into the hands of players. In my opinion you should promote the reason to play a class not diminish it.

PS. I loved my fucking shot gun in beta...."sigh"

interesting to see what we could make and how they do it. done alot of drcals for Forza 4 on the xbox. made some replica rally cars with all the proper decals made from scratch. hope it is a good system or just able to load our own from our pc's like Aces high 2. in aces high 2 my squadron was my brothers old RAF one so i uploaded the proper emblem and used it. looked great on the side of my spitfire. :)

looking forward to seeing planetside 2's options.

I had the utmost respect for the guy who posted, "YOU WILL BE STUNG!" in his job board listing for a Bee Keeper position. Honesty, it's awesome.

On topic, got tired of the Rockit spam eh Hamma? I've noticed he will some times make four or five one line posts after another. Maybe he's posting from a mobile, but likely he just doesn't care.

Even more on topic, that is an awfully large submachine gun. Sub means smaller, eh. :)

arc,

I think you're forgetting how desperate some of us are to even get a foot in the door. I was at a time but, it would suck to take that position. I do agree with titling the position with something bad-ass though.

The SMG is not a SMG. Period, the end. However, if it shoots correctly and perhaps looks better from first-person... then I'm cool with it.

In an other of SOE's games called Pirates of the Burning Sea that I played when it came out you could costume your own decals for the ship flags. So it would be theoretical possible for SOE to give this game that feature as well....

PS: Or SOE might think; "Been there done that, shoot me if I ever have to do that again"

But its funny that the SMG has a stock and the the carbines have no stocks.

I'm just wondering - as noted in the stream, how the hell you aim down the non-Vanu SMGs...getting belted in the face/neck/head every shot must hurt like hell...

Seems obvious the designer of those hasn't shot any real weapons... >.>

Apparently you've never played Pirates of The Burning Sea, then. Custom decals and no offensive stuff. It was all screened with a combination of voting and mod.

The magazine does look somewhat anemic compared to the rest of the weapon. Looks cool though, might encourage me to start certing the Infiltrator.

So is that a second faction-specific SMG, or the one they just released?

Although they had custom decals in APB, they also had a sort-of screening system... Where when the GMs came into game,u message him or her and tell her about it or submit a Report Ticket explaining who has the offensive decal and what it is. I only did this once, since. Saw a Nazi swaztika on a van, so I reports it as I found it offense to not only myself,but to many other people in-game. SOE could do this, but with a much better screening system. This would Bering in much more people to play the game because of added customization abilities. Hell, SOE could even make it so that you have to pay x-amount of SC to make a custom decal, and you have to pay each time you make one. Or have a sham of the more complex the decal, the more expensive? Also, they could make it to where the outfit leaders make an emblem for their outfit and everyone in the outfit automatically can choose that emblem as a decal on whatever they want it on? Makes sense to me...
