Seriously BFR haters, grow the hell up and get over it. God, you're worse than the SWG NGE / SOE hater crowd. Such irrational, useless nonsense that only serves to make the PS1 community look like a bunch fickle, fearful, useless old people.

There is absolutely no reason at all why BFRs couldn't be a "balanced" and awesome part of Planetside 2, if SOE wanted to put them in.

Well, they weren't for everybody, that's for sure.

I personally didn't like them, but that's probably because I really wasn't into vehicles much in ps1 other than a mosquito or AMS.

It... Can't.. Be.... it's like the return of the dahleks. I quit PS1 over these damn things, really hope it doesn't play out that way again.

Even if they did bring them back, you think they will make the same mistake in terms of balancing?

That thing looks cool though.

If they're incompetent enough to bring them back as they were then they're incompetent enough to do it badly. BFRs still aren't balanced in PS1 and they've had quite a while to work on them. (though they're actually underpowered now)

I agree that the current hate for them is irrational. Most of it is from the period where BFRs literally killed off every other type of gameplay. For you new folk imagine a vehicle that was 1 man, had more armor than a galaxy, had a shield on top of that that regenerated and was strong as a tank, could dynamically equip weapons that were very effective against every type of target, and had jump jets that let them outrun aircraft.
They added these things to a teamwork orientated game. All this at the same time that WoW released. This gave people both a reason to leave and a place to go to. A lot of the vets who lived through this saw the game population just up and die so you can understand the ongoing hate.

Currently though BFRs have been nerfed into the ground hard. So the hate is irrational from that view point and in fact ingame it has calmed down from its older fever pitch. For example, I haven't had my own BFR blown up by friendlies in years at this point. (Cross your fingers)

(Their armor is crap, their shields are crap, their weapons are decent, and they are absolute cert point hogs bar none)

Never had a problem with BFRs. Yes. they were overpowered when they were being introduced, but the reactions here...just lol.

I actually would LOVE to see BFRs making a return (well balanced of course, and don't tell me that's "impossible") as they were one of the elements that made Planetside unique and "SciFi".
Also: Giant mechs! What's not to love about that?

Wait... where are the Chainguns?!?!

Easter egg? Trauma Egg you mean.

Whiteagle · 2012-10-21, 04:28 PM

BattleFrame Robotics... they died for your sins!

Saw this earlier. Awesome. We were talking to some of the artists in IRC a long time ago and they mentioned creating BFR artifacts in the game. Didn't realize they'd put a full complete one into the map. Looks shiny.

NewSith · 2012-10-21, 05:08 PM

@OP, Nice 3DMAX skills... Oh, wait.

Seriously though, if it is an easter egg, it should at least not look shiny and new.

Actually when I went into that room and walked around the thing I did think of the Dr Who episode where he walks into the room witht he dalek and at first starts to panic but then realises it's dead.
