PS1 had lots of land. PS2 is shooting for big battles, not so much space to battle on.
They need to fix that bit right quick... incidentally, didn't know there was a tagline for the original game. Guess it was kind of like the backstory...

Who cares why we're here? We're red and they're blue and purple; none of us can ever really die, so let's fight to the death FOREVER!

IMO the size motto simply doesn't cut it.
It might be somewhat fun for those running around "hehe, penis, hehe" but
i'd like to have something on a more epic and patriotic scale than that.

In the end, i don't give rats, as it's only a motto :)
Just don't want CoD kiddies running around yelling "mine is bigger than yours"
every time after they killed me. I'd rather have someone yelling "For Power"
when they drop me :)

Size always matters ranks anywhere from mildly amusing to funny for a lot of people, but it'll have gotten old by release. It's cool until then though.

I voted for the old motto, but to be honest, it'd probably be better to have something that'd make people identifiable as Planetside players would be good. Bonus points if it can be put on a shirt with out sounding cheesy out of context, or if it's good to chant as a crowd at E3/Fan Faire etc.

For example, if I'm wearing an Alliance shirt and someone says "For the Horde!", I know exactly what they mean. If I'm wearing an NC shirt, I can't imagine someone reciting "For land, for power, forever" in my general direction, or "Size Always Matters", for that matter.

Don't worry... they won't be yelling "mine is bigger than yours"...

"Your best is my worst!" "Best you can do?" "I dunno..." "Fabulous!" "Not good but it happened." and of course:

"MAN A TURRET!"

It's marketing. The number 1 key feature that separates PS2 from games like BF3 and CoD is it's size, more vehicles, more players, more space etc. It's not about what sounds cool it's about what sells.

Massive combat, because nothing else matters.

Something else, I'd go for motto that encompasses all three factions - For our Freedom/ For Unity / For the future
Or similar

Since you're a fellow TR I will resist the urge to post a not entirely witty remark.

I don't really feel that this motto really indicates what the game is about, unless you argue that size/scope really is what they want to push this time around.
