I at least want the game to cost 50-60 dollars. Even if its F2P after that.

Do we have to go through this again?

Putonghua or Standard Mandarin is the official national spoken language. Hong Kong, Macau and several other autonomous regions have additional official languages

Hamma, I think he was joking. Hence the !? and the rofl emote.

Perhaps, sarcasm doesn't come out well on the internet forums.

Were I serious that rofl emote would be very out of place.

Rare drops?! Hellll no. Don't want people's playing changed because they so desperately want to pick up this weapon. Imagine it. All common battle scene and a unique weapon drops,

"OMG LOOK AT TH--Gonna get it It's mine. MINE!"

* Infantry and vehicles magnetized towards Unique purple*

* Cataclysmic biotech-boom of all mass populations magnetized*

The most unique part in PlanetSide 2 is the massive battlefield that can contain over 2,000 soldiers at the same time, says Smedley, but the two new features in the sequel to PlanetSide, skill and territory control system, are also something that the developers really want to offer to gamers. Skills directly affect a character's ability of increasing weapon damage, modifying vehicles, as well as crafting. Depending on the level of a character's skill, it may take a player some time to increase that particular skill's level. As Mr. Smedley has mentioned, the skill system found in PlanetSide 2 will be very similar to the one found in EVE. This also includes the ability to learn skills while a player is offline.

Territory control is about taking control of resources, which offer the necessary materials for creating weapons and upgrading equipment. Smedley mentions that they are considering implementing PVE world events to the game in the future, such as having 3 factions work together to defend against an alien invasion.

Adding PvE events would be a very, very bad idea.

This forum just got 10 times more interesting if you are going to be active here.

[BuzzCutPsycho]

I imagine I can post when I'm not playing Bad Company 2 or (soon) Battlefield 3. Especially if I'm going to be the source of such excitement.

Y U POST WITH MISLEADING TITLE?

I expected gameplay footage not an article stating what we already know.
