The damage is most likely totally ignorable, I wouldn't worry about it.

The quality of this video really shows off how great this game looks. More please! ; )

If you're within range of a tank, just jet packed over him to his blind side, have ammo, and everyone else around you is firing at him, it doesn't hurt to fire as well. It will lower the time to kill by a fraction of a second, and you have a chance at getting the killing blow lol.

THANK YOU FOR IN GAME FOOTAGE!

I noticed a red dot sight we haven't seen yet, the Sundy does seem a bit faster then I originally thought (I know it's tweek-able), but also remember it's the only ground transport. All looks awesome!

Hopefully we get to see more of the Prowler, Skeeter, and Scythe soon.

Looks good.

[Arius]

Lookin' good!

[stordito]

Absolutely awesome.
Awesome job,as usual!

On a PR level may i suggest the "5 years players will be equal to 5 minutes player" sentence to be translated in a less shocking way like "your skill will matter mostly" or something like that,not stressing that 5 years of experience might be useless against a 5 min player, wich is totally fine since it's the feature i appreciate the most in MMOFPS.
A lot of people want their XP points, K/D ratio etc "matter",and this could scare them...

Also,I noticed that running is a little slower than expected or seen in the GDC gameplay, is that related to the player being heavy assault or was just a network issue?
Thanks

I still just see comments on every video of how it doesn't look like anything new or special, people who don't know what Planetside is just think it looks average. Need to so badly make a video with a 1000 people in a battle or something, you know invite us lot off the forums and into the game to do it Also when you say Free 2 Play people think of generic small scale F2P games like Global Agenda or the upcoming Tribes and just think "meh".

[noxious]

Looks great. Need more footage!

In Planetside 1 you could do the same, and it would take hours to kill a tank, what's the problem?

Hvar Tech Plant and Zurvan Amp Station belong to the Republic!

Good video needs more troops though. And if the NC sundy is that fast how quick will the TR's be which should be faster!! COOOOOOL

[stordito]

also the weak spots existed in PS1 (the BFR shield gen) so if you where smart enought you could scare a tank off or at least be able to damage it a little.
Also in real life some tanks had (i don't remember what model and when) had a weak spot you could damage with light rifle fire.
Since PS2 is a infantry shooter i think having some way to at least "interfere" with normal tanks operations is a must.
like trowing EMP nades,T-REK, and so on.

I hope them tank sound effects are placeholder as they are really bad.

[Graywolves]

MOAR TR!

Most notably the Tiger Tank's 80mm side armour which a buzuka could penetrate
