October.

The caverns sound gay.

[Cease]

The main reason the caverns exist is to perpetuate the capture-the-flag gameplay brought on by the recently added lattice logic units, which revamped the way most bases in the game are captured.

So in other words. The LLU was thought up a while back, and was coming whether we wanted it or not.

NO WAY! SOE said that they'd leave it on the test server a long time and get our feedback on it first. There's no way they wouldn't listen to the community's wishes!!!

My 1 wish for the expansion=Me+baseball bat alone with SOE marketing exec. in a room.

But yet you'll still probably buy the expansion.
Let's not crucify them just yet, see how they do in the next month. If they don't release any new content, kill em. If they don't deliver what they advertise or imply, cancel your account. But for the time being see what turns out.

All I ask for as a cloaker is a new pistol just to mix things up.... but noooooooo. Oh well I usually only use boomers now anyways.

I think I'm just pissed that I'll never get my JAWA.

...Due in October...
NNOOOOOOOO!!!!! My sig! My Promise!

Edit: [Nu]Endless, I hate you!

[Jaged]

Don't despair yet lonehunter. Remember how far GameSpot was of on the release date for the original game? I doubt that they will be right this time.

Another thing to remember: Nobody is forcing you to buy the expansion pack. Those who don't will still be able to use the new vehicles and weapons [stated by PS Dev "CaterpillaR" in the official forums]. The only real reason to get it would be for the ability to venture into the caverns themselves. From what Gamespot has said, it basically sounds like a place to go locate upgrades and bring them to the surface more than anything else. I'm sure you'll find a reason to complain based on what I've just brought to attention, so enjoy.

From what it say in this Gamespot review, it looks like some of these new weapons and vehicles will only be available within the caverns and that they wont ever see the light of day.

Those new vehicles really look sweet, especially that new artillery vehicle. Finally , a mobile, deployable, artillery piece, thats what really caught my eye. The fact that the back door can only be hacked from inside, another addition which is although small, is going to make gameplay that much more tactical. I dont know what to think of this vehicle that can teleport players, but it sounds interesting, dont know if it will be anything but get a bunch of idiots shouting for a nerf though. The there is the ranks, and the medals, tis should have been in the game since day one, but one thing is still missing in my opinion, a huge battle flag that you can carry into battle, or maybe a trumpet that you could blow as you went into battle.

For some reason, I do believe that this expansion will come out in October, and I bet the new additions like Platoons and Lodestar will come out quickly as well, in what I believe is a futile attempt to revitalize Planetside and actually make some money off of it. Because as we all know, its all about the Benjamins baby .

lol Flail (artillery) pointed at the wrong base = Bannage

[kidriot]

lots of interesting shit

Objectives that take place away from the standard base capturing model will be added, and level titles and medals will also be brought to the game to distinguish players from one-another even further.

for one, that sparked my interest.

let's hope it's not only so much smoke in your asses

[Kaltagesta]

The special assault weapon will be the radiator

THE DDDDDooooooOOOO00000OOOOOOoooooom!!!

--and--

Forseral will have a crystalline area with a large energy beam in the middle

WHY?
