The person I heard it from said, Sonys free Bullet run game has better game dynamics.

Cant wait for Black Ops 2 in November!

If you really believe this, then you shouldn't ever download Planetside 2

Funny, the armor in the videos seem to do just fine when driven smartly. Also, they said there would be armor certification that would allow customization.

Not all features are available in the beta. They should be complaining on the forums, not just to each other. The devs supposedly read posts on the official forum.

Large coordinated assaults by outfits will do far better than mindless free for all zergings. I agree though that it's silly that Higby runs solo.

That's a good point.

Hold judgement...

I've seen some footage of said armor getting waxed by softies...

they were driving 1 by 1 through a canyon straight into a large mass of heavy infantry with RL's poised to ambush them.

I've also seen armor decimating infantry...

Size. Always. Matters.

Well maybe you're right and we just need smart people to drive theese vehicles.

Ambush is Ambush, but yah... I've seen some pretty brazen driving.

Just cause you have armor doesn't mean you can charge head on into a 20+ man defensive line by yourself.

Half the time they don't even have a gunner.

Wow I've heard the exact opposite. Organized teams are absolutely going to rape mindless zergs.

On another board I saw one guy's write up for a 3 hour or so run he had with some random guys who were actually all in a squad and working together/using comms. He said they were able to attack and defend out numbered. In his mind he thought that even given the state of the game currently it was quite obvious that the outfits that are use to working together as a unit are going to dominate.

Personally I can't wait to be able to run with a platoon of guildies and see teamwork make a difference.
