He obviously meant that they have a BIG marketing push that will bring in millions of players.

It shows the # of headshots, it's just broken down by weapons.
Hope you don't mind me linking your stats but if it makes you feel better, you have a LOT more headshots than me (I aim center mass)

"The People's Republic of China kindly instructs you to play Planetside 2" - All the marketing SOE will ever need. Thanks The9!

They did it this way because they knew a name like "SolTech" was attracting a disproportionate number of VS players, so now a more neutral sounding name might attract a more balanced bunch. Oh ho ho ho

I was very upset about this as well, though honestly not surprised. It is unfortunate that Higby comments that the most populated servers have fights across all continents, which is absolutely not true, at least on Connery which isn't getting any more players. It is literally, no exaggerating, Indarside 2 and has been since the beginning of the year. Getting a little tired of Indar every day, all the time, and they seem to be playing ignorant that this is a, if not THE, major issue with the game right now.

Good to see their sorting out the server pops and looking forward to seeing the new revised road map.

You wouldn't dare awaken that which shall not be named?!?

Just to note that our outfit squads doing specifically requested not to go to Amerish (again).
We've been there most of the week. So we went to Esamir instead.

On Miller there has been good fighting to be had somewhere other than Indar virtually every evening at least.

However. If you want to maximise your cert income - the xp pickings on the constant three-way grindfest of Indar remains the best spot.

Certs/XP, Good Fight, Enemy.

You can only get 2 out of 3 .. your choice.

if it boils down between them and giant spiders, I'm going to choose

I'm disappointed to see that connery wont be getting merged,Esamier and Amerish are always nearly empty,even at peak hours.
