Let the max sniping commence

I'd say to buff MAXes first, but we do need Lancer.

I've never been VS, but we still need lancer.

You mean NERF NC MAX's.

I would be suprised if the Striker and Phoenix did not also make a comeback. We need more stuff like that to differentiate the empires. I fucking hated the Phoenix

but still would be nice to see that stuff return for each empire.

You just need to stand more than 5m away from them and they can't hurt you.

Even though I'm an NCer, I do miss the sneezing of the lancers. I hope they bring the exact sound back with no "remastering" or modification of any kind.

As for the pheonix, It'd be nice to actually have a long range weapon in the arsenal. Vanu have sniper tanks, TR have.... erm... somethings. NC would do well with a 1km range, shoulder fired drone missile. That';d be nice.

Can't wait to see what else these guys have up their sleeves... it's responses via twitter like this that really give me faith that all the hard work that the dev team are doing is to build PS2 up to the epicness of Planetside, but more modern and more players

Bet you we will actually see buggies again too!

For us new guys ... what's a lancer?

They confirmed buggies will be added to the game. It's on the video of the last Friday night ops. It won't be with this months patch though.

SeraphC: Think shouldermounted Laser AV Sniper Rifle.

Damnit figment beat me.

StumpyTheOzzie · 2013-01-13, 08:06 PM

A lancer is a thing that goes:

Wah-CHOOOOoooo Wah-CHOOOOooo Wah-CHOOOOoooo Wah-CHOOOOooo Wah-CHOOOOoooo Wah-CHOOOOooo, reload and it HURTS!

Direct fire AV weapon. Come on... EZmode or what?

Sledgecrushr · 2013-01-13, 08:08 PM

So the ha is getting another rocket launcher. Its nice but I want more.

Beerbeer · 2013-01-13, 08:21 PM

Anyone else find it funny that they seem to introduce more AV weapons than anything else?

Considering the types of weapons released, and in the order they were, maybe they never anticipated this.

If things were different, they could have went all over the place with different infantry assault weapons, and there probably would have been a demand, but now all they can sell are rocket pods, HE guns, lib guns and AV weapons to the people that chase after them. Speaks volumes.
