Man the forts! Aka, we're besieged.

[Symmenix]

Hello all. This thread is basically introducing sieging and holding to people in PS2. The idea pretty much is simply about holding a fort for as long as possible, and having such a pure lookout/ defense that the enemy cannot advance.

Or it could go the other way. If your attacking these well held forts, it'd obviously take a while.

Pretty much I want to see epic large fights that last for hours, not some guy going Rambo CoD on us.

This happened in PS1, but in a different format.

So here's the question: How many of you would be willing to siege/hold?

The TR is famous for its five-hour red alerts. I want to see this proud tradition continue.

This type of thing should happen automatically.

I'm a support player at heart, so i'm used to waiting around awhile...

i love defending for a long while, or laying siege for a long while...

Indeed.

Of course

Bring a red alert at me or go home. Base defenses are some of my favorite stuff, as are last minute resecures.

If PS2 doesn't have base/tower sieges it wouldn't be right to call it Planetside...

Indeed, it'd be called Planetside 2.

Base layouts might turn the siege meta-game into more of a game of trading hack points constantly, but we'll see when we get the chance.

I was saying it wouldn't be right to even use the name planetside in the title if the game was without base sieges... Sorry if that went over your head lol.

And perhaps organized play will bring 5-10 people guarding each point, calling out incomings and back up - less point swapping but alas, soon we will know for ourselves.

Drop in spawns will make defending a bit more difficult, to say the least.

5 minute cooldowns should atleast help take care of that :P

[Pyreal]

Base design will have a large impact whether or not defense is possible.

[PrivateBadass]

I would love to be a part of guard duty on a specific base, even before an full on assault, and report back if there is a large force headed our way.

I would hope it's still in... base sieges were some of the best content in the game.
