Definitely looks like Amerish and reminds me of the Amerish concept art shown by T-Ray. Damn beautiful continent for sure.

And it almost looks like the overall base structure will be distinct based on what continent they're in. I've personally never seen that kinda structure on Indar. (with thick wires and the shape of that building) They are maybe these pipes on SE desert of Indar but still....

If you think on the scale of Planetside 2, they're getting Amerish ready for closed beta. Planetside 2 is pretty cool, right? I'd say it's looking and sounding pretty ****ing awesome actually! Amerish being ready for beta will just be fantastic!

Does anyone here really think the entire team has the skills to handle bugs, solve CTD's, and overall improve engine compatibility with various systems? T-Ray and Higby ain't a part of those teams, and we've been told they're working their asses off too.

Y'all don't give these guys enough credit. Planetside 2 is working fine, they just delayed because they felt they could get this to us within the week, making our first impression of beta even better.

It could also mean MORE invites per wave to have Amerish in, but that's assuming they weren't originally planning to hold multiple instances of Indar on a single/per server to simulate having multiple continents with expected server loads.

Its the new Lodestar touching down for a pickup

kertvon · 2012-08-01, 09:26 AM

I vote phantasm. It is a needed addition with all of the spec/night ops ability. Something needs to fill the niche for stealthy transit.

basti · 2012-08-01, 09:27 AM

Why are you guys even reacting to Higbys Trolls?

DrShadowSML · 2012-08-01, 09:50 AM

It looks like the edge of a base with an air vehicle sitting on an air pad above.=possibly a phantasm

morf · 2012-08-01, 10:13 AM

I'm thinking they are working on making the grass blow and dance when a vehicle hovers over it in that pic.

So what does this mean. What is this Amerish.

Is it anything you can blow up?

Edit: so it's a continent possibly coming into PS2 beta. So is this because the player pressure is huge enough to create another continent?

there will be 3 continents at Launch each with there own diverse terrain and content,
Indar is a desert style
Amerish a lush green grassland, forest, highlands and the last will be an arctic tundra zone.

Do the three factions traditionally have zones they control? I only played PS1 for a month or two, loved it but I fought all over the place.

I think it's just one of those odd structures that Hamma was driving to.

the land looks nothing like Scotland (which is what Amerish is themed after I believe), to me it's more like S China...
