Kinda eliminates the sub par pain fields that did little to deter spawn camping. My guess is they are going to have alternative ways of taking the base in regards to spawn tubes/gens by instead moving the spawns further away from said objectives or atleast in a further away spot from being able to respond to the objectives in a heart beat during a base capture but enabling spawning to never disappear? only a theory.

that could be possible, but i was thinking since it seems bases are split off into multiple sectors, a base could have multiple spawn points and you could have 2 or even 3 factions spawning from the base and fighting over it. though with 2000 players per map...that could become a little bit of a cluster fuck.

Night time looks way too bright too, but I'm not surprised they went that way.

Other than that, it's looking awesome.

W...wait. The 'night fighting scene' in that video could have been taken at 6:30pm,7:00pm, or 6:00am. Are you a development staff within SOE

?

Have you ever been in a boosted painfield? They hit like a freight train...

This is why I wish SOE would get a thousand testers in there and record them all having a massive battle to get the scale across to people.

Some things I want to point out...

1. Too much bloom/HDR whatever is used.

2. The movement looked jerky when you were looking around holding the gun. To me that says the sensitivity is too high or the movement is very floaty. Shooters need weight to them to making the shooting satisfying and this was a major problem with Planetside.

3. I still think the Agile armour (I think it is) needs a redesign, it doesn't look very good. The Exo armour that was shown for the TR just looks amazing, the Agile stuff just has no personality and makes the game look like another generic shooter.

Overall it looks promising and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. I just hope SOE listens to the feedback they get when the game is in beta testing and if something is very wrong with the game, then delays it. DCUO proved to be such another flop for SOE because the game just wasn't ready to be released, so they need to learn that if you fail on release it's hard to make any comeback.

Maybe they already played too much of BF3.... or due to the blurry resolution this video is showing..

But I'm pretty certain that they will like this game (at least a bit more)when they get the chance to see some awesome fan-made videos

Well considering it came after an animation of the sun moving across the sky, I assume it's meant to be night. If it's not, then good.

Night can be various levels of darkness on a single map in the open plans it could brighter and at the same time in a canyon it can be pitch black
