What do you miss?

-MAX units will not have jetpacks, that is reserved for light assault only.

Thats all the confirmed stuff I can alleviate. Personally I might just miss CC holds, but honestly it might still be possible with some of the cap points located inside larger buildings. The Tech plant looks like its central point will be crazy to hold, very fun looking.

Cool on the lightning turret.

But you reminded me. I want bases with different capture mechanics. All we've seen so far is capture the little points and hold over time. We need not just the little capture point system they have now but some with take and hold CC's other with LLU's (maybe). I imagine that perhaps capitol bases could be introduced and be much more entrenched and defend-able along with the old CC, generator and tube systems.

Well you're in luck In a recent video Higby said that they were working on different capture mechanics at the moment. King of the hill and capture the flag (LLU?) are the two that I remember specifically. Tubes and gens were mentioned in a recent video, but there were so many in the recent couple of weeks that I have literally no desire to go digging for it.

Thanks man. I was freaking out for a second after i realized i stopped paying attention to capture mechanics and just now noticed we've only seen the multi point cap and hold. King of the hill sounds like the old CC to me or at least could be adapted to it. Everybody pile into the CC and hold that central point with your life.

I'll miss this forum. Because once PS2 is live my ass won't ever be in here again. I'll be all pew pew pew, you know what I'm sayin.
I'll also miss my wife and my dog,mostly my dog.

[Baneblade]

Enter/Exit Animations, Pre Balance Pass Enforcer, and gunners using the main weapons.

[vVRedOctoberVv]

I'll miss the poor netcode and lack of proper hit boxes. And don't forget the crappy 2003 graphics! Oh and the "fire a whole clip to take someone down" TTK.




NOT

On a serious note....

Most the cooler aspects of the game are carrying over. It's hard to be very specific, having not played the game yet, and not knowing precisely what will and will not be there.

Magrider top gun, and dedicated driver.
Oh the glorious memories of being the bane of aircraft and tanks alike...

I will miss indoor rumbles the most, all of the bases look pretty much 90% outdoor with the indoor portions being very exposed and easy to penetrate. I really liked how the CC in most PS1 bases was tucked deep inside, made it difficult to get to. Now all the points are within a few steps after a gal drop

PlanetOutSide 2 FTL

E/E animations second most

I'll also miss visor/tank zooms
multi-level sniper zoom
MAX run mode (sprint is slow and the special boost is too bursty from what I've seen)
MAX Jump Jets
being able to see enemy HP/Armor levels
the Lancer
MAXes with great ammo capacity
being able to see my laser beams from my pulsar
seeing the tracers from enemy weapons clearly. I could hardly tell when Higby was getting shot in the streams.
dedicated hacking
AMSs

[Roidster]

biggest thing for me i will miss the most,is auto run

[fod]

dedicated (separate) drivers and gunners
because doing it all aint fun (for me)

you can turn a galaxy into a GG, take out a few seats and add a gun etc. think it was in the GDC vid that higby stated this.

galaxies are going to be very customizable

That's what I'll miss, but what about you?

I dont think their sill be no buggy the nanites systhems will go deep i think we already saw some concept of incoming smaller APC so i will not suprise to see buggys comming but SOE have so much stuff to do they cant be focus on thing like buggy yet they have 3 continents to finish up and tons of stuff to do !
this is the NS APC i was talking about we did not see any screen in game yet but pretty sure many more vehicules will come
