I bet ps plays like an fps shooter with competitive elements. Discuss

Funny how these things play out.

Esports and competitive play.

LOVE IT!!

Well I for one am glad the game is going the competitive espors route and I am very excited. The news over the weekend was perfect!!

Although at the time it would have been nice just to say that is the direction PS2 was going. Great hire IMO and can't wait for the eSport casts.

Is Jim going to be the announcer for what has been announced as the next big thing in e-sports? We can hope.

I believe we can all agree now that this is going to be a huge competitive fps game and I for one welcome it. So Jimmy might not be there to make it as esport but I think plenty of other people are already there helping with that. Looking forward to esport planetside 2. Love comptitive small play. Small being less than 72. That will really shut some of these zergfits up about who is the best outfit.

Not sure why Higby didn't come out and just say it month ago instead of posting this misleading quote.

Could have been the cheapest of the bunch.

And if more useless CS players means more targets then thats ok by me.
Bet the forum mods had no say in it tho. :P

..but the problem is though, that if this CS/COD player has heavy enough influence on how the game plays, then the mechanics will sway in the CS/COD player's favor and WE will become useless- actually, not useless, as I can play those games as well, I just don't find them fun. -WE would become bemused by the major shift towards the same twitch play that runs rampant in most shooters today, and that currently precludes tactical movement in bf3.

I might be assuming too much, and this Jimmy guy may behave himself and actually suggest things that make PS2 infantry combat LESS like COD, CS, and bf3 -but I have a feeling that this is not the case.

It sounds as though you haven't played yet? It's totally fps twitch play. And per the upcoming t-ray interview it is going to be even more so. Thankfully IMO.

cs has nothing to do with cod and bf
