I though they were too busy fighting spiders with health bars.

They use bullfrogs for that now.

Next thing you know they'll have natives with touch screens on their penis gourds.

hrm i jsut watched the G4TV interveiw at about 44 they start talking about netcode, what quovtas said was exactly right, though why they say makes no sence at all "ping will have less effect on gameplay" but then goes onto say that they aim to support a 100-150ping max....so i would say ping is more important...but anyway.

Smed then said that Planetside used one sort of hit model (aka: clientside) and PS2 will use another obviously Severside, thats not exactly a bad thing for us, but given the amount of players planetside 2 wants to support, i doubt they can use hit prediction like in the source engine, i think that would put to much strain on the server, so...we're probably proper fucked.

Though I was talking to somebody today on the team who did tell me to just shutup, wait for beta and see then. :P

I hope as the squad spawning is a skill for squad leaders they also make it make sense where the squad leader has like some kind of machine on his back that people spawn though so it can help you target him to and makes sense. I hate it where people just appear by there team leaders for no reason like magic, please add it in to the story line SOE and make everything explained and make sense.

Probably the sweetest way to spawn enter battle, imo.

Imagine that one in a thousand chance that you're squad is eyeball deep in **** creek and pinned down by enemy fire from all sides than you drop in with you're MAX (or something almost as heavy) and land on some poor bastard's head.

I hope I can pimp out my drop pod so that whenever I spawn people will know... shit is about to get real.

No, China uses their inmates for Gold Farming in WoW.

Lol, I love how the quote at the bottom of the news article is something like "It will haunt him for the rest of his life"

That's some hardcore fucking WoW playing right there, I thought I only disliked WoW.
