Some Nexus preview action and what appears to be some kind of fireworks gun probably for the 4th.

there was only NC and TR warpgates shown on the map, how is the VS going to enter the island then? this confuses me the most.

Battle island are only for team vs. team. So VS would start at the same place than NC or TR depending on battle island acces condition.

Early days but really keen to know how this will effect low pop servers if two factions are off fighting in their own world.

wish the recon dart gun had the same design as that and did it look like it had little bit more climate weather effects??

So no one else noticed that there wasn't one single Vanu Sovereignty infantry or vehicle in that entire two-some-odd minute long preview for Nexus?

Not a single one...

Because it's not a 3way?

The other two factions enjoy greater popularity from players, as well as being the two biggest rivals in the threeway since Planetside 1. Not very surprising to see no Vanu in this particular trailer!

I'm digging how the same models can make such a better environment when the team can spare some bit of extra care on level aesthetics due to the smaller size of the environment. It got me curious to play on the Nexus more than before

Looks like it could easily handle 400+ people

Fireworks were purple.

Ok so the NC had the North East warpgate because they controlled the entry point at Esamir.
The TR had the southwest warpgate because they controlled the entry point at Amerish.
Now in order for the VS to be able to access Nexus they most move on the TR on Amerish or the NC at Esamir. Once the VS defeats either one then they will have access to a WG that leads to Nexus.
I know this is obvious to most of us. But in case anyone is confused. It's not a bad Idea. 3 ways get some people tired after a while.

And not to mention 3 ways rarely happen anyway. At least on Connery anyway.

Edit: Oh almost forgot. So want a fireworks gun!!!

damn, i REALLY hope this fireworks gun will ONLY be equippable on typical fireworks days like 4th of july and new year.

if this is going to be another clown item only obtainable on the 4th, but usable anytime, the trolls will be happy pandas and we will see flowers in the sky (and inside the warpgate spawnsrooms)all the time.
just like in star trek online, where you can´t stay at earth space dock for more than 2 minutes without running into someone jumping around and using a bubble/fireworks/balloon//tribblecannon "party popper"

the battle island looks ok, but that was the case with every map before we got to play it and noticed how uninspired the layouts were gameplaywise. so i will not call out huuray until i fought it out there.
optimism is sold out.

I presume that's where strategy comes in. If NC (say) all decide to go off and fight on a BI that you can't get to you go and capture all their territory and make them decide what do they want more a BI or the rest of the world.

The essence of PS in my view.

It also kinda points out the need for home conts and sancs too tho.
