You're asking a question that I don't want to pick a single answer for lol, I want an "All of the above". If it tipped to one direction more then another it wouldn't be Planetside, and therefor I probably wouldn't play

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

If anything, PS and PS2 was/will be a strategic FPS. If you ever, ever label either of these games as an RTS you have brain damage to the maximum.

There should be, as there was in PS1, plenty of playstyles that cater to everyone. Roles for solo players(Generally AA was good for this, as was cloaking), roles for ad hoc groups(the main zergfest), and roles for people with strong teamwork(raids, gen holds, etc).

I agree, but they wanna make money. So they are gonna dumb this baby down to the lowest common denominator! Halo/BF3/MW - Planetside here we come!

Driver controls the main gun. Come on!

Is it weird that I'm going to miss you in command chat in PS2? I've grown accustomed to your face.

Thats appeasing the masses, not dumbing down. Controlling the driver gun and driving at the same time takes more skill, not less.

if you mean red and blue at the same time, then yes, otherwise no.

It takes more skill to communicate to your gunner/driver what to do than to just directly aim it.
