What's your favorite "Planetside Moment" that wouldn't be possible currently in PS2?

I too will miss those mechanics, nothing ever felt close.

entranching with a whole squad in a backland base genroom, dropping the thing and fighting to the last bullet and drop of medjuice to hold it down against waves of incoming enemys.

V-A-G

[The Janitor]

This one time I killed a BFR.

Sitting on my ass for 15 minutes waiting for a hack to go through so I can earn my BEP bonus. Yay.

For those of you bemoaning the loss of NTUs/ANT, I'd like to remind you that they weren't in the release of PS1, but were added later.

PS2 will undoubtedly have lots of Awesome Stuff added on as time progresses. I'm eager to see what the game will look like a year or two after release.

drop spit, pull out repeater, own rexo.

Dropping prox bombs next to spits and watching it kill random infantry. (rare)

Sitting up a tree/tower/etc dropping plasma nades on peoples heads and watching them glow green while never being able to find me.

max altitude lib bombing, AKA fishing. I don't forsee cluster bombs making a come back at nearly the same spread or power they had.

Boomering people, the game is going to be too fluid to do this to anyone but snipers, and if I have to pay to use boomers, man that's going to be expensive.

That's just off the top of my head.

Holding the Gen room against hordes of Pissed off TR and VS. I have had just wonderful memories doing spec op runs with my outfit locking down gen rooms. Another planetside moment that I will miss is clearing the CY at the last possible second as a Gal or Lodestar drops a ANT off at 10% to save the facility and keep the fight going. Some of the most Epic fights/comebacks have come out of situations like that.

An ANT race.

Specifically, my ANT hitting another ANT at speed and then being propelled to the other other side of the continent and into the ocean in a matter of seconds.

I wish I'd recorded it.

[Soothsayer]

Running a game in directx 8.0

I'm not looking back to the technology, just keeping a memory of the awesome moments.

[velleity]

Killing tanks wholesale with a buggy. Though I would need someone like Nevarc
gunning.

Sniping mechanics as mentioned before. Separated the boys from the men in my opinion, haha. How many times the other snipers in my outfit and I had contests for max range moving target kills.

AMS driving. Something about the AMS always appealed to me, no weapons, relatively squishy, and slow. I loved taking the risk and seeing how close I could get without being a bother to my Empire. I wonder if they will bring it back or give us sidegrade options to make the sunderer more like the original AMS

Oh! Another one was sniping poor smurfs phoenixing people from afar. They think they're so clever with their cover and guided rockets, haha.

And my favorite PS moment that I will probably relive? Hopping into game, spawning at a base or tower, having to run to where the fight is because I can't spawn vehicles or something and cresting a hill to find a galaxy gunship flying low and directly overhead. I can usually say I'm not an emotional gamer, but the amount of "Crap crap crap crap!" I screamed and my roomates all having a good laugh at my expense....priceless That or replace GG with Prowler or Vanguard.

[PrISM]

Holding a biolab generator with maelstroms from an onslaught of ******** determined to take it down instead of actually attempting to hack the base.

It's all about how you land on that wall. One of my favorite moments from way back (pic dated July 5th, 2003).
