i also find it pretty sad that people actually want them

they were horrible in battlefield games (bc2 and bf3)

Obvious troll is obvious.

ok, skitrel stop derailing the thread by doing exactly what you say others are.

Someone can put up a poll on this and we'll see how fast it gets shot down.

I am not a fan of spotting arrows. Spotting a target should require direct LOS, and at most it should put a blip on the radar.

I am a fan of one hit knife kills from behind. Cloakers are damn near naked on a field with hundreds of guys in, at minimum, a full flack suit. You should be paranoid about getting stabbed if you don't have someone covering your ass... and you should be covering someone else's ass so they don't get stabbed!

But both of these are discussions that warrant their own threads.

The video was pretty neat and had some new footage. The only thing I found off was that it had talk of 1000's of players engaged in huge battles but only showed about 10 people playing infantry, and one or two tanks getting shot at by a lone aircraft. It's not enough to talk about it, you gotta show the mofugga's this shit.

He is however exactly the same person. Blazealm, Ruwyn, fod. All brand new users, all posting about high profile inflammatory topics, all created within 8 minutes of one another total for the three, all made for the purpose of causing trouble.

Another good interview Higgs. Its bizarre that the game is this far along that were seeing it in action, and were all jumping on details like "OMG CLOAKER AT 4:30".

Cant wait for when we start having actual class spotlight videos.

This makes me worried a bit too. OK, it is still 15-16 times larger scale than BF3, but still... I miss the "S"... thousandS should be!

Oh no, watched it again, he clearly says "ONE-THOUSAND player FPS match..."

wow i just noticed same join date so i can see why you think this
but no you are wrong

i just hate 3d spotting with a passion - its almost a dealbreaker for me
theres a lot of ex battlefield players here that dont like these things copyed from battlefield like 3d spotting/ohk knifes
(also im a planetside 1 vet - i was allways a lurker here until recently)

garinarbis · 2012-03-20, 06:53 PM

We won't see any more then 10-20 players probably untill beta, if they allow frapsing it during that time:/

But I've got a silly question, sorry for it

Now I havent played planetside 1, and im curious, since it is "open world" all 3 factions can and probably will fight eachother at the same time, and even same places sometimes? sorry again for the silly question

I don't know. I mean, to the layman 32-64 vs 1000 is still a massive leap. What's another 1000? You already knocked their socks off.

I am very doubtful that they reduced the max pop by a full thousand. I think they're doing everything in their power to keep the ultramassive population sizes.

Yes, it happens sometimes... but you usually face one of your enemy faction. It often happens that 3 empires fight on the same continent though, effectively doubleteaming the defender, but at the end one of the attacking faction leaves for a better target (another homecont, or defending his own, etc). There were so many strategic factors that you could never really predict what will happen in the 2-3 hours. (With pops dropping, the flow of the battle become more predictible but it often brought surprises.)
