Things you already love about PS2

[Klockan]

I love the high lethality, if you shoot someone they should die or it doesn't feel right. High lethality and better accuracy on weapons also means that we will see more long range combat which is nice or else the large map would we wasted. Also the visual range seems to be really long!

Like with WoW, i still have that annual shit, but i dont play the game anymore

I just hope PS2 wont be pay-to-win, like many other free games..

They've already said (way more than they should have to) that cosmetic items will be the only StationCash Exclusive items, so it won't be Pay to Win. See this post by Higgs:

Power adding items - items such as grenades, med kits, certain types of implants (like a run speed booster), these items fundamentally alter player power and are acquired exclusively with resources earned in game

Playstyle items - these are sidegrades for vehicles and weapons, these switch up playstyle, and as much as possible are balanced against one-another to not add absolute power. These are available for Resources earned in game or Station Cash.

Non-gameplay affecting items - things like cosmetic skins, resource or xp boosts, etc. These don't have any impact on moment-to-moment gameplay and therefore player power and are available for Station Cash

It has to be teamwork. Organizing in such a large and complex battlefield is just heaven to me.

What do I already love about PS2? Let me explain:

No. There is too much. Let me sum up:

I like pretty much 100% the the things that they are keeping the same from the first game, and I like 95% of the changes that they have made from the first game.

The increased scale of everything, the sped up pacing, the customization, the F2P promise of high populations for years to come... The game looks like it's going to be a lot of fun for me.

Another big thing I love about PS2 is how responsive the developers are to the community. They always address community concerns, but at the same time they don't just bend down to every whim of the players either. This attitude really keeps me hopeful that some of the few things that I'm still not too keen on will either get changed during beta when they prove to be a problem, or they will turn out not to be a problem after all and the devs will be vindicated for sticking to their vision.

As for a few specific things that are new to the game which I love, Light Assault and the Scythe! I've wanted an empire specific fighter (especially for the VS) since 2003, so this is a lock time dream come true. As for LA, I'll miss our MAXes having jump jets, but I always tend to prefer lighter classes anyways, so LA will be an excellent consolation prize.
