Favorite Terrain/ Area

[mobiusonegto]

In typical FPS games, people tend to gravitate towards certain maps. They tend to take to those and learn every little intricate detail about them. Giving how big Planetside 2 will be the typical player wont be able to learn the entire map that way. The question I am asking is this: What type of terrain do you find yourself playing the most on. Will you be wanting to play in the desert terrain or the forests? Will you be wanting to play mostly indoors? Give your thoughts on the terrain and areas of the map you want to play on.

well i can only tell where i never want to play in any (!) game: snow maps !

i love desert but also like it green, so i will switch around.

I usually prefer densely-packed jungle environments, but it really depends on the layout itself with factors including cliffs, slopes, building location, etc.

Whether you learn the detail of maps or not depends on how much you play. I know the detail of many of PS1 maps for instance.

I think it's difficult to describe the best maps. Those where the terrain helps and doesn't hinder the battle, where a flanking option is available and where sufficient cover is available for those who choose to use it.

There should be a proper balance between attack and defence. Defence should have an upper hand but not too much.

With reference to PS1 I liked Esamir because it helped the battle. I dislike Acension for the same reason. The base Yazata is particularly bad.

I for one hope thats what we get :/

I guess I like the desert / rocky terrain like we've seen much of so far.

My favourite world in ps1 was ishundar.

[Flaropri]

Will need to see my options for me to really decide, a lot does depend on quality of execution.

I usually go for urban environments so I guess I'll be fighting at tech labs and stuff like that whatever it's called..
But I do like what I see at the Hvar place with the lush green, seems nice.

Btw, that continent/place "ishundar" means "ice dogs" in Swedish

[Pyreal]

I live in the desert so I prefer something a bit more green. If I want to see desolation I'll look out the window.

[Blue Sam]

Somewhere with plenty of interesting things for me to (attempt to) fly a scythe through.

[SgtExo]

I want some rolling plains for great tank combat. And mountains for infantry warfare.

[noxious]

I want a snowy forest (with lots of snow falling) like the ones in Skyrim.

[fb III IX ca IV]

If they make the biodomes a lush jungle inside, I would love to fight in one of
those. Think the first half of the original Crysis, in a bubble.
