A "Newbie" look at PS2

[Neutral Calypso]

Terran Republic is clearly the faction of choice.
Truth be told though the NC would be respectable if not for... well...

"I THINK I BROKE IT!"
"CAN SOMEBODY FIX THIS?"

compared with
"Need an engineer over here!"
"I need repairs!"

So yeah, the fact that the NC voices sound like stupid thugs is a real turn off, and why I tell them that they are NOT space 'murrica, but are in fact Space Whiskey Rebellion. (and if you read the lore, that actually sounds about right)

TR is not THAT bad compared to their PS1 incarnation after all. Just want to make sure lil Timmy and Susie aren't out past their bedtimes... when the rebel scum is out causing trouble.

As for the Vanu... alien abomination bastards.

Ya. You can give some credit to the NC. I rolled 666th in PS1 and NC was fun, TR is better. VS is easily the scum of Auraxis. No one likes those barneys. lol

I did however have a blast night. Hopped in, first "insert to join a squad" I recognized the SQ leader as the "Take the empty bases" guy. So I hopped out of that mess, looked at the map, saw TR had some biodome all alone in the upper left of NC map, lots of flashes... so I swung on by. What a hoot that was, good fight, we moved south, took a few places, started to worry the resistance was gone, then BAM, a nasty fight in some canyon with Vanu having the terrain advantage and TR trying to flank us. Was good times.

Hey, I'm all for a good Whiskey Rebellion! Sippin' some Jack while playing my NC

And whenever I see VS I can only think of Venril Sathir, as a devotee of past SOE titles.

PS2 is so much more fun for me. I played a lot BF2142 and it reminds me a bit of that though it is not the same

after playing a little bit more BF3, yeah same. it is a good game, but PS2 is undoubtedly better. i can see enemies now, because i turned off the motion blur ;D

and i get in the middle of the scoreboard as well. and i agree with the BF2142 part as well, and it was a fantastic game, and reminds me of PS2, but i don't think i could go back to it....
