Well if they didn't Smed would be a liar.

Well they did switch it into a full sequel.

So uh, how does pre-ordering from gamestop work? I click the blue pre-order link and nothing happens.

Even if a majority of that feedback was "STOP FUCKING SUCKING AT YOUR JOB ASSHOLES."

Hmm, so the pre-order link on Gamestop doesn't work and I dunno how to pre-order on Amazon either.

Edit: found the pre-order on amazon button.

No because he never said anything like "every single Planetside subscriber is guaranteed to get into beta".

He said the first(?) beta testers will be Planetside players

I don't think SOE wants to slap their player base in the face that badly. It's not like there's even that many people subbed... why not invite all of your current playerbase to test a game you want them to by?

BTW, why do I have to pay now for a pre-order on Amazon? That makes no sense.

REGARDLESS!

If they confirm this and they are allowing pre-sales, then they have to have a damn near finished product, maybe not finished.. but damn near.. and from a couple of the screenshots i seen, the game is looking frailing gorgeous.

That dude had his FOOT.. on a ROCK.

bahahahaha

But yeah, the simple fact that these are all EA games kind of makes the point moot.

If we had some concrete SOE evidence, than maybe I would join in on this speculation.

# WEAPONS: Players will be able to access more than 20 basic weapons, which can be customized to players' preference or purpose.
# VEHICLES: A total of 15 vehicles, with two unique vehicles per empire. Players will be able to customize each vehicle, unlocking new skills and features

Speculation on what those are....GO!

Battles can last for days or weeks, so players will need to build alliances and specialized combat outfits to take on long-term strategic and tactical initiatives.

"Build Alliances" - Interesting.

Bags · 2011-07-20, 01:24 PM

Higby already confirmed alliances. Nothing new there.

Anyhow, is there a way to pre-order without paying now? I don't want to be out $50 for a game that may not release for a year.

The Game Stop pre-order doesn't withdraw funds until the game is shipped.

I'm going to wait until the CE is announced. I also wonder if there is going to be any unlocks based on where you bought the game from.

1 the current planetside players are either on the 45 days free, or the last remaining subscribers

2 if every current PS1 subscriber got into beta, PS1 would become almost dead. (the reason i say almost is because people would still be subscribed, but most people would be playing the beta)

3 does anyone else realize that planetside1 is going to be shut down within a couple years

Cool, but their pre-order hyper link doesn't work.
