Nice to hear alot of input thanks guys, I do hear alot of people saying meta game. To me this is what make PS1 and PS2 interesting, it leaves the meta game up to the player. For example the meta game or the win is when you actually take a base that you planned on taking when you first put together the squad. You guys have to remember this is not a FPS its a FPSMMO, meta game is the goal that is set by the leaders when they start a squad, whether its to support the zerg or take certain bases to turn the tide of the battle. From the moment players log on and jump into the frey to the time they have taken the base. For example in my outfit we select a certain night to log in, we squad or platoon up and the leaders set the goal for the evenings events. Now in PS1 it was to lock continents and maintain those locks for the benifit of the over all population. This was taken away since the removel of linked bases, In PS1 if you didnt have a tech plant then you couldnt select tanks at the spawn points. The meta for tonight is to support the zerg going to Hossin, protect the tech plant to ensure we had access to vehciles to win the battle. Sometimes it would be smaller misison to take away base benifits from the enemy by blowing a gen to a linked base.
So the meta that alot of players are looking for really starts when they log in and ask there outfit " so whats the goal tonight guys". If you guys find a good outfit, examples would be M.A.P/TNGC, or Azures Twighlight. These outfits are mission oriented, so once you log in join a squad there is usually a misison going on, or about to start. You could run solo, and I guess there really is no meta because you just go were the zerg takes you. But by joining an outfit with good leaders who know how to run ops, could give you a very clear picture of what the objective is and how there going to do it. Once the mission is complete I believe you will get the sence of completion, but as we all know in PlanetSide there is so much more to do.
So for alot of guys looking for that meta, just join an outfit, run missions and I think you will find what your looking for. PlanetSide is a ever evolving game, there will never be a Meta, but there is a mission and by finding the right people and working together you will find a sence of accomplishment.
