As usual, a huge thank you to everyone here!

[IceyCold]

Thanks a lot Matt and the rest of the Devs for all your hard work on the game.

I can honestly say hearing Planetside was getting another chance was the best news I ever heard. Planetside is still to this day my favorite game hands down, and it deserved to do better than it did. There is no other game I look forward to more than Planetside 2.

Cheers, and thanks once more for giving the eternal battlefield of Auraxis new life.

That ride is just only beginning, wait till we are actually in the game.
Anyways, huge congrats to the entire planetside 2 team for showing such deep dedication to this groundbreaking mmofps and for showing that close contact with the community isn't a bad thing.

Those rewards are very well earned.

[Coreldan]

It goes both ways, Higgles!

Really can't express how thankful I am with all the hard work, passion, and enthusiasm that SOE has put forth toward one of my all time favorite franchises. You guys give me hope for those publishers/developers who have lost that enthusiasm that really drives the communities love and passion. I can't wait to get my hands on PS2 and help make it one of the best games ever. Fantastic E3 showing, sad not everyone will get the opportunity to see this game with all the lazy website coverage(WE ALL KNOW WHO IGNORES IT), we'll take the reins and promote the shit out of this fantastic game.

Next up is those beautiful heavy weapons; chain gun, lasher, and jackhammer!

Love all you guys/gals at SOE <3!

You're welcome!
And thanks to you and your team being part of the community.

Looking back thru our old guild forums I noticed a post back on 27th Sept 2009.
We'd heard rumors of a PS2 before and had been sceptical that it would ever actually happen.
This was though the first time it actually looked like it was for real.
The email went like this:

That’s right, you heard what we said! We plan to expand the PlanetSide® universe with another game and we need your help with the design. After all, who knows the game better than you, our customers, the people who actually play it! Don’t worry about the original PlanetSide, it isn’t going anywhere.

We want to hear your opinion and to do so we have put together a short survey. The information you provide will play a critical role into helping guide the development and direction of the next hit Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter. As a loyal player and experienced shooter fan, we value your input and look forward to hearing what you have to say.

And here we are today, absolutely pumped that we are about to step it up a notch and hopefully, through beta, contibute to the game we have been waiting years for.

Again, thanks back at you guys for being part of the PS2 community and not just distant developers of a PC game.

Still remember when I got that email, was almost shaking in my boots of excitement

[Malorn]

Thanks Matt, great show, it was way more impressive than I had expected. Y'all did a great job with the PR.

Don't mind us all nitpicking things. Forums might seem a bit negative but it's all because we care

Game is really shaping up well and coming along a lot more quickly than I had expected it would. You've done in a year what I think would have taken most game companies two. And of course you've made a lot of great design decisions. Some are harder to swallow than others, but nearly all of them make sense after a little thought.

I hope that with beta (and NDA) you are able to give us more candid insight into what it is you are going for when discussing design and decisions.

ATTENTION!

But seriosuly... anything we can do to help out man.. we'll do it... probably ^^ And thanks to all of you for making this game! Really... I am rarely excited about games coming out now days... and I mean that kind of excited you got when you were 13 y/o.. must be the age.. Anyway, when I heard PS2 was being released I litteraly yelled out in excitment.. so thanks again for this game

NOW TAKE MY MON... oh, wait.

[cryosin]

Thank you for making a true next gen epic scale game.

8v8 was so yesterday.

[RawketLawnchair]

No, thank you.
To all of the devs. Thanks.

For all your hard work and dedication.


Now give out the damn codes already.

[RedKnights]

Matt we should be thanking YOU way more than the opposite. You NAILED those interviews, you're so personable, passionate and friendly unlike a lot of the other designers out there, you represented us splendidly!

I showed your gamespot interview to a bunch of my friends, they literally could not wrap their head around these battles, I think we game people a little taste of the action, and with all these awards a lot of others will surely take notes.

Thanks to all you guys too! The passion in Maggie's eyes on the stream when the award was given for best of show was just amazing to see. And I know all you guys are feeling that now and even I did a little a dance when I seen it.

It is going to be a great summer.

[lMABl]

Thank you! It's been and still is an absolute pleasure to see you guys create and succeed in making such an amazing game! Can't wait for what's to come!

[Purple]

i think its safe to say Higby and the team just increased it fan base to amazing heights with E3. its not just on our radar anymore but rather anyone who paid attention to E3.
