Where do you see PS2 in 5 years?

Why isn't there 1S1K melee in PS2? NC get a 1S1K sniper, but a cloaker that does work getting in the right spot can't backstab a guy?

How can a CS grad get hired? What skills would be looked for?

With Sony's declining status in the worlds markets, how protected is SOE(And PS2) from being taken down with it?

A: I hope that if 1s1k melee is ever added, that it's like BF3 - locked into a slow animation for 1s1k from behind, significantly less damage on a swipe from any other angle. D-bags purposefully impaling themselves on bullets to beat people with their butterknife is neither fun, nor immersive.

I read "testing east coast servers tomorrow."

Happy day!

I would suggest backing up the moniter a bit and increasing the size of the text, will be easier on the eyes.

OMG, I know that's PS related reddit, but 95% of all questions are about PS2, and 50% of all questions are about the Beta and Beta date.

yeah, anotehr reason i started copying them here, to weed out all teh similure questions. i might finish in the morning though, 1:13 am right now, and i got to get up at 8am 0.o

No Caves is a bit disappointing. I would like to see indoor combat expanded on. The Bio Lab looks really awesome, and it would be cool to have more such places. Mineshafts, Subways, etc.

A: no. Pro7 cash sorry.

He answered the second Q but not the first. Are existing balances transferred into a Pro account?

K thx

Thanks for doing this optical, my eyes are in your gratitude.

Also thanks to Smed for his honesty and doing this AMAA. Even if half the things he says never come to fruition, it's great to hear what he's truly thinking in the present moment.

I miss it for the communities (servers, forums, and fan sites) and the whole package of crafting, housing, cities, space, and so on. Nothing has that combination. PS2 will be a hell of a lot fun though, with actually enjoyable combat and a ton of ways to make the game your own, so that's nice.

It would be nice to have a pre-cu emu with all of the 2011 content added to it though (especially Beast Master... man that was way better than BE/CH! Having all three would great though). I would likely play that at the expense of any other game until the end of time. Best of both worlds that would be.

Stopping now. I'll ramble all night about it if ya let me...

i hope a station pass counts as sub.. it freeking should
