But isn't that what the portable EMP is for? To fry there jetpacks so random things happen? And i know there isn't a portable EMP in this game, then my response is

"WHY NOT!!!"

Yea that was a WTF moment for me as well, one-shotting an MBT with C4 is a terrible idea.

Nothing should be able to one shot an MBT with full armour except for a direct OS hit.

Aside from that the footage was amazing, and i think you guys are doing a great job!

Sorry, but the "why the continent looks so small. Looks smaller than PS1's continents" debate need to end. What's wrong with your measurement?

Oh well..... really small? Serious? I've personally played games like Just Cause2 and Dark and Light(yeah, that 40,000㎢ mmo years ago), but I'm rather satisfied with the continent size here. (of course, just wish they're a bit bigger, though)

I mean come on, you know that they designed every single area of every continents to make firm balance between empires.

Great Job TotalBiscuit. Nice work - More please.

I don't remember him flying to 2 warp gates, i only remember seeing 1 gate then a base nearby, so what time is the second warp gate at so i can see it?

Anyone else have a problem that when you maximise this vid on youtube, the screen just stays blank? I have this problem on a few youtube videos actually, anyone know how I can fix it?

Great video btw.

Total views as of right now: 132,5K

That's probably more people that heard of PS now than in the entire marketing history of SOE for PS1.

Well, not really overpowering as if you see from some seconds before that, the lightning appears on the mini-map anyway so you would already have known it was there before hopping back into the Mag.

(also, for those keeping score - 3 clegg kills)

You can never have enough Clegg kills. Dirty NC!

But good to see that even TB, given he is TR scum, shares the hatred for the NC.

Air combat looks like it'll be fairly terrible. Stopping and turning on almost on a dime is something I hoped we'd left behind in PS1. Dogfighting will be just as boring as it was in PS1 if they don't do a serious overhaul. It hurts my brain imagining someone seeing the Planetside 1 aircraft mechanics and going "we need to do that again".

Everything dies really quickly. Too quickly. Tanks must die in seconds in larger fights. Infantry die so quickly I wonder why the revive mechanism isn't simply rolled into the engineer class and the medic done away with. I guess this stuff'll might change but who knows.

Night looks good. Everything looks good really. Dark enough to be atmospheric, not so dark you can't see anything.

Etc etc. Whatever. Looks good overall, hopefully the iffy stuff gets changed by this fall or winter when beta is ready for play.

ArbitraryDemise · 2012-05-18, 10:19 AM

did anybody else notice that TB kept on calling a lightning a vanguard?

narf.
just noticed my error.. i´m talking about the jump PADS not the personal jumpjets. make the pads hackable so we can change the direction they are shooting the players to. the more options for sabotage, the better!
