Well now that I've been in beta a few days playing very nonstop.. I must say, this game really does rule! Tonight I had the fun of a tower standoff, and as many before me have said, this is one of the most enjoyable things about PlanetSide. I spent most of the time running up and down sniping whomever I could (and I did quite well I am glad ) and stepping outside and mowing through the masses. My current favorite config is Reinforced with a bolt driver and a gauss. I've been stocking Cyclers as they're pretty nice too.. The gauss is still my fave though.

Anyway!! on to the Shots. Hopefully, I'll take some more cool ones and keep updating this thread, but for now I'll start with a couple that I'm really proud of. After the heat of the tower standoff let down a bit, I charged out (Surge implant is awesome) to the beach to try to get behind our attackers. I was very successful hehe.

Excuse me Sir, you have something on your shirt...

Ahh, much better!

Quoting is funner than shit!

He spams even on the game...although some of it is deception. May you never get CR 5 and global broadcasts.

Well after finally getting in and to Cyssor I've got some _HUGE_ crowd shots.

Ants marching

Come on in Terrans, the party's in the CC!!

.. but you'll have to pay the cover charge or face these bouncers ..

Sorry you two, my AMP and element of surprise won't allow you to take this tower... Oh, hello Mr. MAX..

Okay, okay you Terrans can have the tower, but I'm gonna snipe every last one of you on your trip to the base.


Ahh great times sniping. I chose it as my first cert since I figured I could get some good BEPs quick. I was right They just kept falling. Unfortunately the lag was INSANE so I only bothered with standing targets (even when there's no lag, hitting a moving target is extremely hard). Still plenty of kills though All those coffins were made by me. I think in total before getting booted and overrun I killed approx 20. Pretty strong medicine from range . I had to run back inside and reload 4 times before they got in the base.

Wohoo more screenshots This time you get to see some of the overcrowded NC Sanctuary with lots of galaxies, and some great shots I took while enjoying a night of Vanguard ownage.

Overloaded Sanctuary 1
Overloaded Sanctuary 2
Finally made it out of there.. Long range Galaxy shot

Last night I had a great time gunning for Fuzz who is an excellent Vanguard driver. If any of you were in these battles on Oshur please post because I'm sure you have some loud opinions about how much smack we laid down

...one minute, you can communicate with the enemy now?

I didn't know this till Saturday night. My squad was decimating a bunch of NC's, there must have been about 20+ of them, for a few hours.

I got this tell from this guy complementing me how i was beating the hell outa the NC's with my turret and mine work. I told him thanks and asked him if he wanted to join us... seeing that we were short a couple people in our squad. He laughed and said he was one of the people getting the crap beaten out him and just wanted to throw a complement.

Luckly I didn't tell him how i was doing it... I didn't know other factions could tell you till then.

Yeah I have mixed feelings about cross-team talking. So far it's all been friendly in my experience, giving props or whatnot. But I think back to DAOC when spies easily ruined most events I attended because they had friends in other realms. In Planetside though I think it would be a lot harder, since battles can be decided so quickly. In DAOC it seemed like more of a contest of who had the element of surprise and who had more numbers. Both of which could be easily and quickly comprimised by a spy. Another thing is that since Planetside has no real level advantage, if you see someone being friendly with the enemy you should take every right to shoot the enemy (and perhaps them both if you're ruthless )

[BladeRunner]

Also if you hadn't noticed, I have created a site for hosting my screenshots. I'm using a really cool script that I used for DAOC screenshots that automatically creates a page with thumbnails and such. The link's in my signature! Hope everyone likes it (and bookmark it, as I will probably update daily).

Woah dude Sickie was in my squad when u killed him, I was gonna give u a tell to get a pic of me lol but then i saw a cloaker and had to kill him. Sweet tho that he made it in one of ur screenshots

[BladeRunner]

Hey blade, what system specs are you running when you take these screenies?

[BladeRunner]

Athlon XP 1900+
MSI K7T Pro2
512 DDR 2100
GeForce 2 Ultra (yes I know, that's my Achille's Heel)
SBLive! Value

I'm not an OC'er but I'm pretty experienced with computers and have done lots of things to tweak my system. I run PS with almost the lowest settings, but I have Mesh Detail on (can't stand blocky weapons and avatars), and I run 32 bit. Outside of PS my Direct3D performance setting is "blend."

While I'm on the topic of performance, I might as well share something I've done that some might want to try. I made a partition on my drive that is about 3 gigs and uses 32k clusters, and I made the entire thing windows virtual memory.

I don't know if that's the cause, but I can testify that PS loads maps extremely fast on my system. The first load is the longest @ about 10 seconds. Recall To Sanctuary is _almost_ instantaneous.

I still lag in populated battles and such, but it's playable enough and pretty enough to hold me over until the next upgrade (which should be soon )

Nice Screenshots!! Top notch, a Paparazzi extraordinaire...with a grenade launcher. Good job joining the NC!! I'm getting an invite from my friend so i don't have to play the Beta at his house anymore lol

[BladeRunner]

More fun shots for your viewing pleasure..

Where will you be..... WHEN LAG ATTACKS?


LesserShade I promised you I'd post your beautiful Rolling Death!! Like I /told you I hope you were smiling big I know, I know, I'm ruthless following you so far away from the base to catch you while you were repairing.. But I promised a photo of you.. Oh who am I kidding? They tossed 3 or so shells my way and I was toast. Decimating was still fun though


By the way folks, as my newest plot for shameless self-promotion, I'm gonna offer to fulfill screenshot requests. If you have any (something feasible please), please reply

[Fuzz]

I have a request.

How about a pic of me posing by my Reaver to go with me posing by my Tank?

And let's just update the Tank pic with my new BR armor

[BladeRunner]

Next time I see you I'll snap it.

Last night I had the great privilege of squadding with some New Dawn guys. I'm applying for recruitment into their Outfit because quite honestly it was the best PlanetSide experience I've had yet. I took lots of screenshots (check them all out in my gallery), and here's the highlights.
