What we know about Beta.

[Kipper]

The problem with the Black Hawk Down scenario is that in a respawn game, there's no need or reason to hold out against an attacking force. Just fight, die and respawn.

HOWEVER - it would wrk if you were defending an objective. Say, the capture point for a hex you own. That way, you might be fewer against many, but you might have a respawn Gal deployed to prevent you simply being wiped out - and you are holding territory, so that's a reason to stay there and fight the odds.

I asked Cleverbot if he knew when beta starts. I'm pretty sure that SOE programmed it to troll me.

Man I tried clever bot and it pretty much called me a loner. Harsh.
I need Beta to heal. </3

Cleverbot is being less than helpful for me.

20:02:32 User: When will the beta start?
20:02:37 Cleverbot: The beta for Starcraft is already over.
20:02:51 User: No, the Planetside 2 beta.
20:02:55 Cleverbot: Yes, the planet.
20:03:07 User: Huh?
20:03:10 Cleverbot: The who is a british band.
20:03:29 User: No, when does the Planetside 2 beta start?
20:03:33 Cleverbot: Is that when it begins?

I've been wondering this for a while. But can i use certs to unlock or level up everything in the game? Or once i reach a certain level do i run out of certs and can never upgrade something even if i want to use it?

The way I understand it is:

You can learn EVERY possible thing there is for a class/vehicle given you put enough time into it. However each one of those things cost a specific amount of certs.

So say I have an allotted 20 total certs to use and I've trained EVERYTHING in a class. I can only use however many will fit into that 20 cert range.

Customization 1= 5 certs
Customization 2= 10 certs
Customzation 3= 10 certs
Customization 4= 15 certs

I've trained all of them, but I can only use either 1&4 or 2&3 (etc) at the same time.

So you choose what you want to use at the time? Or can you unassign certs into another thing?

I figured that we're going to have loadouts similar to the original. So lets say I've trained a ton of things for Heavy Assault and I have two loadouts for it.

Base Assault
Base Defense

They each have their certs allowed maxed out but with different things, one being more offensive one being more defensive.

EDIT: I could be 120% wrong on all of this, it's just the way I've come to understand it so far but I could be totally missing something somewhere that I didn't read.

NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!

God damn it.

You know how in Crysis, if there was a tank shell explosion near you and your vision blurred and went black for about half a second, will anything like that happen here?

I think blurred vision happens here a lot. What with all the people checking the forum,the PS2 website, The various game sites,The tweets from all the devs,And all the other PC game news outlets. All that interwebbing is bad for the eyes.

I looked up Cleverbot.... While it doesn't seem so clever, afterwards it made me wonder how clever I was for knowingly trying to have a conversation with a computer.
