Seriously? You are going to bring in competitive CS players? Counter Strike plays NOTHING like Planetside 1 or 2. You at least could of brought in the top tier Battlefield players or something.

Or, you know, hire on some well known PS community members...

I rarely complain, this is a time I am doing so.

bitch, bitch, bitch... All you ever do.

I have no idea who the dude is, but my first thought was "i hope he is a professional CS player!".

Feel free to quote me when the PS2 community is ruined by dickheads, but for now, my opinion is that the more widespread and mainstream Planetside2 is, the better. Doesn't get more widespread than CS.


I've seen kids playing CS in third world countries!

I don't think money from like 200 people is worth pissing off the rest of the playerbase. Hell, I'd be pissed off if they did that.

Can you summarize cracker? Is bottom line they dnot' like him because he is competitive FPS player?

I love him already. We come from CAL and TWL. One thing I have learned about this community it is mostly full of people who are not that good of an FPS player. They can't compete on the CAL and TWL stage so they go to an FPS game that relies more on team work and massive organization. So what the fuck are these people going to do when the great FPS players come over here and get organized?

I have to agree with JP's statement above, players like him have had way more experience than anybody in the FPS community. As Higby said he is not here to convert PS2 into CS, but rather help the dev team in making balance decisions.

I got quoted....

So does that mean that because we come from a competitive background, and have members who have competed on the esports level and our original background was 8 years ago in BF2C, that we are going to be hated here?

I've played with, and against, some of the best FPS players PC gamers have ever seen. And at the end of the day 50 gamers who play competitively, and travel as a hobby, will beat the crap out of 50 gamers who view themselves as organized every single time. This isn't real life. The weapons and technology are equal. Just because someone might know the history of their faction doesn't mean shit. It comes down to who is the better shot and who reacts quicker. The graphic of this game and the FPS style of this game will bring in the hard core gamers and I can't wait. That is why I'm here. If you're looking for PS1 I suggest you re up your sub.

Match of The Week Highlights: Team Illicit vs. Team HOE(Toxin)

"This is the showdown a lot of us have been waiting for; the two Atlantic Division powers get ready to throw it down on Mashtuur City this week. HOE(Toxin) will be led by Chonan, Naz, Phoenix, Fatback, and Schoefield on the ground, a very solid crew"

"HOE(Toxin) has a huge advantage over Illicit here. First, HOE(Toxin) is extremely humble and rarely posts anything on the CAL forums regarding their status. Secondly, HOE(Toxin) should easily field an advantage in infantry and team work"

"Mashtuur awards teams who excell at infantry, squad hopping and general team work... and HOE(Toxin) has mastered it. As of late HOE(Toxin) has been said to be a trojan horse if you will - a sleeper champion of Open"

"Make no mistake about it, if HOE(Toxin) gets a presence in Illicit's main then they will do something most teams are not able to, and that is keep that presence there throughout the match"

"The infantry game will be pretty even, but HOE(Toxin) is just relentless at capping flags and seem to always keep a strong existence somewhere on any map"

"HOE(Toxin) has clearly played more noteworthy, experienced teams in the likes of nycff and The Mammies (who are off to a rough start here in CAL)"

"Other interesting results include HOE's obliteration of The Mammies"

So we can only hope that TWL, CAL, and CPL players come over here in droves. And I know that Toxin is headed this way.

I gotta say, I'm a little embarrassed by the amount of panic that comes out of this community sometimes.

UT was a ton of fun, Facing worlds > all.

Welcome to PSu it's nice to see a proper FPS player getting an input on the feel of the game and these stupid "modern Shooter" features.

[AwesumEndeavors]

Will the download for beta be available early so people can download it so they don't have to wait when the beta actually comes out?

As long as there is none of the I saw you first so I insta-win bullcrap, gun play can change anyway it wants to in my opinion. You need to be able to turn around and kill someone with your (hopefully) superior aiming skills if they start shooting you first because you didn't see them for what ever reason, thats critically important especially in an open world game where people can be anywhere.

What we don;t want, is people sneaking up on someone and losing even though they pummeled the enemy with 30 bullets. There needs to be a good balance.
