Wow, that sounds absolutely epic. It bothers me that I haven't heard more about this

this just goes to show what us as a community has always thought!
if more people could hear/see about the game, they would fall in love like we did!
I really hope SOE launches some commercials on G4 among other tv stations when we get close to launch

Getting some awards will probably provide motivation for SOE to pump a little more money into the marketing as well, so... win.

Glad to see Planetside 2 is getting the recognition it deserves.

TV commercials are a waste of advertising money for games. More than half of US households have a DVR and most of the target demographic does, so they zip or zap them or don't watch TV that has commercials or don't watch much TV at all.

thats an oppinion. and a wrong one at that.

all the top games advertise on TV. lets name a few:

WoW
Halo
CoD
BF
Diablo

and that list could be a lot longer but you get the point.

TV advertisements are the only ads I ever see. I ignore ads online (which they have already taken advantage of) and any other form of worthy advertising besides word of mouth, twitter, facebook, ect has been taken care of.

But im sure your right and all these huge gaming companies are advertising on TV for no reason. I mean gamers dont watch G4, do they? hahaha

A TV spot could especially be good for a F2P game.

Show some awesome footage, then make it clear that they can go to Planetside2.com and Play the Game for Free!

very true xyntech. if you want to reach a massive amount of people tv advertising is your best choice. and when people see that the game is free they are going to go crazy!
