What to bring to PlanetSide 2

[fishirboy]

In stead of sobbing about the major topics like prone, artillery, max's doing things that should be possible. What about things you want to see, like new customs and skins and so forth. What would you guys want back from the old PlanetSide 1 and what new things would you like to see in PlanetSide 2. This is not supposed to start up debates because the game is not even done! Why not just keep your own opinons to your self and give only ideas that ok ?
I reay don't see any one really caring for this forum page but its much better then yelling at each other about stuff we cant even test in game and only a fraction know about the micanics of the game so be happy don't worry!

The only thing I wanted to see them to do is bring modern shooting mechanics. Until I play the beta and see how the whole game feels, I have no idea what else they should bring to the game.

I guess I would like to see home continents again, or a home fleet flying in between each planet (assuming they re-do the bending).

Actually huge fleets would be sweet. Adding some space battles would kick ass.

There are 3 maps.
Each could be assigned as a home continent.
Remove 2 footholds and keep 1.
Link the 2 remaining warpgates to form a triangle.
Off course Amerish would be for the VS.

Dictators in the desert.
Rebels in the jungle/forest.
Scientists in the frozen wastes.

Makes the most thematic sense to me.

I agree with this, except the dictator part.

The Terran Republic would be actively attempting to terraform Indar into a suitable living habitat mind you (while strip mining it.)

The New Conglomerate would be setting up their primary HQ where dense foliage might hide troop movements from orbiting satellites and hostile flyers.

The Vanu Sovereignty would be situated in a cold arctic region around one of the most prevalent (read: still active) pieces of ancient Vanu technology yet to be discovered, and it's drawing a LOT of thermal energy to explain the bitter cold.


Other things I'd like to see are ES buggies that have the same if not better firepower than MBT's (they WILL need dedicated drivers and dedicated gunners to survive.)

Searhus turned into an island chain to facilitate aerial combat and potentially naval combat. The volcano itself should once again be a battleground as well, though possibly a steeper, more vertical fight along the inner wall (conserves horizontal space for multiple islands this way.)

Hossin to be very swampy where rainfall is common, with flooded bases and outposts, facilitating stealth action.

By this point, I suggest a grenade slot inflatable raft that can hold the driver and maybe 3 more? Bonus points if the 3 passengers can still fire their weapons while situated in the raft. Maybe even certs that allow vehicles to float on water, at the cost of land based efficiency? Obviously, the Mag-rider is exempt from such trivial concerns

A metropolis setting. The terrain would be literally roads, rubble (collapsed roads and buildings,) and sky scrapers in place of dirt paths, hills and steep cliff sides.

Hmm I would like this camo for the NC

id like to see the old BR-linked colour scheme's come back, as you level up, you get more and more red on your guy. that way you can tell 'oh shit, that guy is bad ass' and run away with your barney tails between your legs

In the future I reaaaaaally want to see island maps and naval vessels, imagine a map with maybe 9 large masses of earth (each one with a base), capturable hexes could be harbours etc. The best way to traverse the water would be by boat because of boat-capacity, imagine the boats holding like 50 people. That would be so awesome and I hope it happens one day!

In the near-future however I don't really know what they should add to the game that they aren't already planning. However it would be quite awesome if you could blow holes in some walls, for tactical purposes, and they would eventually repair themselves with the same nanite-animation that vehicles spawn with.

I suppose a few things but I'll wait until I'm experienced beta before I shout.
However, in the spirit of the question, more continents.

Airships.
