No real downsides that havent been voiced already, but REMOVE KILLCAM. Very disappointing in that aspect of the game. Dont overly care for ammo drops. Very BF'ish. Pretty much makes a hackers job useless doesnt it? Which was one of the main reasons to keep terms up and functioning when assaulting a base.

Whats the story with the bubbles? This going to be in-game? I noticed on the 'bonus' video that the player could see a bubble without LOS. Not digging that. Going to be rather disruptive to cloaker play isnt? Or to the ability to jump people from hidden locations if we're running around with halos over our heads.

I would think that the bubbles are only shown over the heads of enemies that have been spotted via some command function. So cloakers won't have too much of an issue with that seeing as how if they're spotted they're dead anyways. Moreover I'm sure the marker only lasts for a few seconds before it disappears.

The game does look great guys and I'm extremely proud of you.

If I had to make any suggestions I'd recommend taking out the Killcam.
Increasing the TTK(this isn't like MW3/BF3).
Elaborate more on how squad spawning works.

Really coming along and I just HOPE.... HOPE! Beta is right around the corner. It'd be awesome to see people start getting in soon.

PS: Oh, and make sure the heavy assault class still wrecks these silly light assault people at close range. That'll quell the anti-BF3 combat folks.

All of Higby's sudden deaths appeared to be down to Heavy Assault enemies, so I'm guessing yes. They were much faster TTKs than the other guys where he was taking quite a bit of fire without problem.

First things first. *inhale*

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

I'll be honest, part 3 made me cry with joy. The vanguards were beautiful, the combat was beautiful, speed wise and visually. I love the clouds of dust that get kicked up when you fire.

Onto the main points, things that I saw that bothered me:
1) Other faction weapons in the shop?
2) Kill cam; it feels bandwagon-eey and the implementation is clunky (excusable in alpha)

The things that I saw that filled me with joy:
1) Flight
2) Rockets
3) epic landscape
4) Plasma cannon
5) Clouds casting shadows
6) all of the dynamic lights are wonderful
7) all of the little cap's
8) MY PRECIOUS MAGRIDER!
9) the speed of combat seems pleasing and modern
10) and did I mention the landscape?
11) Most importantly the look of combined ops
12) Projectiles looking like projectiles (speed and movement) , rather than the flaming pigeons of PS1

I am very happy right now. BTW during part 2 at 1:05 and the right side of the screen a foot soldier fires an AV weapon. Is that the fission???

Only things I did see I didn't like was.
1.The Killcam is BF3.Not good.
2.Too much Blue.Ie Menu,Map,UI,Vanu Weapons,Moonlight Night etc.
3.No Startup timer.Just a hop on in when a guy shoots you down to 1 hp.


Other than that I am pleased with everything else.I didn't expect a perfect game this early.Tank battles are gonna be epic along with infantry battles.The battlefield looks awesome.Just pure Planetside Porn.

One major thing I'd love to see them implementing.



Awesome cloud layers!!




(and so much infoz this week. Thanks for all PSU staffs, GDC informants, and of course, dev team!)

Seems legit.

It almost brings a tear to my eye. Like dreadnaught in DoW: Finaly, back to war.


Can someone hop over to the Line of Defense ... forum? Do they have advanced tech like forums? Someone shove this in the faces of the LoD fans (who??!?). Thanks.

[Eyeklops]

Wow..that was some awesome footage.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the "taunt" tab in the cash shop. I wonder what cool stuff you can get in there?

Killcam + Taunts + OSOK quicknife = Awesome! Now you can see me do the teabag cabbage-patch taunt on whats left of your corpses face after I osok quick knife you to the back of the head. Pure brilliance!

Which is why I call it the FFFUUUUUU cam.

GET RID OFF:

Killcams
Ironsights
ridicolous XP Spam Messages
Player Deathtracking stats

DOUBLE:

Infantry TTK (Infantry Fights should Last a LOT Longer then this)

and you will have a Fantastic Game!

[Vancha]

I wouldn't worry about things like TTK until beta. It's stuff like killcam that has more chance of being removed before much time has been invested in implementing it.

ridicolous XP Spam Messages It's either that or they spam your chatbox
Player Deathtracking stats I don't see any reason not to have this.

DOUBLE:

Infantry TTK (Infantry Fights should Last a LOT Longer then this) An understandable proposition, but I disagree. Double? No, no. Increase slightly? Perhaps yes.

and you will have a Fantastic Game! They already fucking do boss.

My responses in red.

Keep killcam, it's an important part of making the factions completely and utterly hate each other.
