Even 3rd person views of the slaughter would be ok after base is taken, no intel lost, epeens get stroked. Even broadcast to other bases of latest news from your empire, with war correspondents and everything.

This would look way better than a small message that Aton has been captured by the TR again.

You can expand on this greatly, with "News from the Front Lines" after territory was captured.

You can use tactics and be strategic, but it is not a strategy game.

How about instead of just a kill cam, they email them our name, SSN, address, and where our children go to school? Why go half-baked?

A strategy game is a game in which the player's decision-making skills have significance in determining the outcome of a battle. That is PlanetSide. Thank you, come again.

Your decision make skills have a significance in everything you do, including playing a first person shooter where reaction time and reflexes will only get half of the job done. So, no, Planetside is not a strategy game. It's a shooter.

You're putting the Planetside on a pedestal man. You're building the Planetside up. You making the Planetside into this great big greek goddess named Planetsyledth, and whatchu doing is you pysking yourself into thinking it's more than it is.

From commander POV, it's completely tactics and strategy if he sits on a hill and just gives missions out.

Did you ever play 2142? Commanding on that was awesome.

It was almost a completely different game when you had a good commander and a few good squads working together. Good stuff.

It is a strategy game. It is also a shooter. It is both. There's a reason there's a lattice, commanders, waypoints, command chat, squad leaders, platoons, and all that juicy strategic stuff. That's for the strategy half. Then there are, of course, guns, which make up the shooter half. So yes, it is a hybrid of strategy/shooter.

And yes, Planetside deserves to be on a pedestal because it isn't the same cookie cutter shit that developers slap on the market nowadays. It's a unique game and I wish that the devs would keep it that way.

Have not played 2142, but hoping leadership certs in PS2 will be as you describe.

You're kinda weird man, but I dig it.

Wrong about the strategy thing though.

Is Team Fortress a strategy game?

That would be pretty cool.

This could be an awesome addition to the game. perhaps live footage from hot-spots that gets broadcast everywhere.

Even if it's not in at launch it'd be great to see something like this further down the line.
