"Now they're trying to push down to the generators".



If your shoutcasters can't explain the obvious tactical reasons and implications showcasing a size always matters strategic and tactical shooter .. you failed.

Yea they really need to have some people who know allot about the game to commentate it. With that improvement I think this would be much better.

I mean - it's like me trying to commentate a Starcraft Match, I have no clue at all what's happening.

It wasn't too bad actually, although I'm not convinced about the three way fight concept. It means that defenders/who gets there first wins most of the time.

The MLG tag is a nice diversion from my Cynical Brit decal although it doesn't look always that well. I don't like it on my Galaxy.

Well, the game needs something better than a hovering camera to see the play too. You don't have to see the whole game from first person camera, but occasionally showing from the players view is a must for fps game.

I'm not a fan of watching others play though, since I get so irritated when they make some stupid mistake, but if I did get into this esports watching, I would need some first person view too.

I wonder why they don't have a good over the shoulder camera either. Like the view from vehicles, except for players..
It's something they really need to figure out if they want to push this game as an MLG game.

Personally doesn't matter much to me, I'm glad the option is there for MLG but it really doesn't seem to me like it's worthwhile to put all the effort into getting it moving.

I cant wait for the MLG ladders. But for the love of god. SOE look at the community and reach out to players that understand the game. And don't aim with the arrow keys.

On top of that, Get someone who has an idea of the game to shoutcast it. Jeeze i would do it for free and atleast i would make it interesting.

It seems, That SOE have been sold the dream by MLG. And you can certainly see that there is absolublty no passion from the soutcaster. Which it seem's he has been lumbered with this task to keep SOE happy that they are promoting it.

All good shoutcaster's come from the community of the game they love.

If anyone want's to shoutcast / commentate on planetside 2. Now is the time to start learning, As there is a serious potential for you here.

You have my backing, As anything other than these guys will be better.
