If SOE Blow's this it's over. This is their shot to capitalize on a fresh and exciting genre which SOE itself essentially created. WoW,Aion,Rift (lol) and that Star Wars MMO have pretty much crushed them in the RPG market. Even a prettier and newer EQ probably wouldn't be a big hit unless it involves some serious MMORPG innovations. If SOE know's what they are doing (And for once it appears they do)they will sink everything they have into Planetside 2. It REALLY DOES have a chance of being this Decades World of Warcraft. That all being said: I'm riding this ship until it sinks...Smed forbid it ever does.

People love shooters.
People love MMOs.
Sony would be dumber than usual to not market the shit out of this.

This. Both markets have exploded since Planetside 1.

Is this from the PC or PS3 version of the game? Also, how much money does that Mosquito cost? Just curious. Thanks.

Seeing as each individual server could take up to 7-8+ thousand players at the same time they will need a ton of marketing 
But SOE marketing has needed a carjack to open its wallet in the past. not too hopeful on that front. |
its been said because of the hex system cap times will vary, while now you wont have to drain to backhack a base(a good change) backhacking a base surrounded my enemy hexes will take say 30min while taking a base surrounded by friendly hexes would take say 2 min. (I cant remember if he quoted times previously, but its something like that)
my overlay, for the visual experience of the hex grid.
so i believe it would work like. nc to take acan would take say 7 min. but for them to take Naum it would take them 30min since lattice plays no role anymore and they have no hex near naum.

Hmmm, I wasn't aware of this. If this is the case then that's excellent! I always wanted a way to vary the hack times.

It would be great for mopping up the last few capture points on a continent.
It would make it a lot harder to gain a foothold on a new continent though, although that may not always be a bad thing. Depends on the rest of the game balance.

Re: Higby tweets Mosquito Picture
Mosquito looks really....Well...Dumb to me...But the backdrop is really impressive, despite the brown 'n bloom environment it looks really awesome. The lighting also looks spectacular.
Those bases really are massive this time around.
