Planetside 2 vs Planetside: Next


As I'm sure almost everyone here knows, when what is now Planetside 2 was first announced, it was going to be called Planetside: Next. PS:N was going to essentially be PS1 redone with the new engine. 2 Years into the project they decided to restart from scratch (I'm sure they carried some of their assets into the new project) and "re-imagine Planetside" into what we have now with PS2. Most of the people that came here at the time were happy about this. I however, was one of the few against it.

PS:N would not have been a complete carbon copy of PS1. They would still have switched gunplay to ADS from the Arcade style of PS1. BFRs would not have been brought over. Also Oshur would probably be back to a big dessert instead of 4 little islands. I'm sure redoing the PS1 maps in the new engine would be a lot easier than making completely new maps, so PS:N would have launched with way more than 3 if not all 10 original. Remember, had they not restarted development, PS:N would have had 4 years of development to PS2s 2. We would have are Sancs too! Defensible bases, cert trees and inventories instead of class system (Huge one for me!), some actual land between bases for vehicle combat, I could keep listing but want to keep this OP short and will discuss more of the differences later. So, the reason for this thread...

Now that PS2 has been out for a year and a half, I ask you. Would you rather have PS2 like it is, or preferred they had made Planetside: Next?
