Leaning in Planetside.

[Kran De Loy]

No leaning, no real reason behind my opinion other than I just do not like the idea of PS2 becoming even more complex.

No cover system, none at all please. Sticky cover systems are rarely implemented well and are always heavily restrictive to the player using them.

Depending on how many people voted for both lean and shoot and lean without shooting, lean without shooting might technically be winning.

Lets say people voted exclusively for lean and shoot or lean without shooting, then assuming everyone who voted for lean and shoot would rather have lean without shooting over no lean at all, then lean without shooting would be more popular than no leaning at all...

If the poll was public I could see how much overlap there is, but it isn't, so I can't.

Discussions should be encouraged. As new users join the forums, old topics are bound to get rehashed. Relax.

And BFRs!

I wouldn't mind a just look option.

Aim & Shoot while leaning. 51
Just look. 17

So we got 68 votes for leaning.


Absalutely no leaning. 43
No Cover Mechanic. 57

So we got 100 votes against any sort of cover


No clue where you took your numbers from.
The vote tells us that no lean/cover is leading by about 45%.

I don't personally see leaning as a "cover mechanic". To me a "cover mechanic" is one of these automated things on a button press, much like Mass Effect or Gears of War kinda thing.

Guys SOE won't risk it a cover system or Leaning....They just won't.


Even tho I think a cover system like Medal of Honor Airborne would be amazing for this game.



Can pop ur head as much as u want top and side.

leaning worked very well in americas army, a game as old as planetside. then again prone worked well with side to side single roll. so yeah its all good stuff, but it isnt really neccessary or anything.

Well ya, poll is majorly messed up by those options.

Why would you include "No Cover Mechanic" as nos for leaning? I voted yes for leaning, no for cover mechanics. Leaning and cover mechanics are two entirely different things.

By your logic/definition, everyone who voted for no cover mechanic doesn't want Planetside 2 to have crouch.

No Lean no cover. Want cover? hide behind a suitably large object.

When i voted, i chose lean, as in press q/e or some along those lines, then i think voted for cover mechanic because i think i thought it meant i wanted leaning, or i wanted something like rainbow six, or Ghost Recon Island Thunder, can't remember, but this poll is a bit odd.

Leaning is a bonus for defenders, and because of just that slight difference in variables I have to vote no.

It's a bigger bonus for the attackers, though.

No leaning, sniping will already be lethal as it is...
