Yes im mad.

those other companies deserve their bashing after ripping off their customers for years. no one f's up a brand more than EA or Activision.....no one. let's be realistic BF3 screwed the pooch bad with lack of patching/updates/balance/hacking and CoD screwed up by not having dedicated servers for years and letting the hacked lobbies take over. both got their cash and gave the real players the finger. most of us were flat out lied to about and sold short by their latest products. both franchises deserve to go down in flames. period. people are excited cause we know this is the game that will do it. RIP $hitty cod and bf forever. game over.

I wasnt sure which forum to put this.

This map is really nice but if they dont unlock the player cap over 128 instead of 64 it will be a lost of time because the map will be a way to big

Yup E Sports. Too bad BF3 doesnt offer non of the feuteres that should be present to make it to ESports, for example LAN. Destruction? are you fkin kidding? i wouldnt call that destruction , even BC2 has more, but in BF3 is just lol

Exactly.

Planetside 2 will be out when some of the map packs for BF3 come out and I will for sure play BF3 and try out the new content when it releases. Planetside 2 I will play mostly but I enjoy BF3 so why does one have to destroy the other?

I started PlanetSide in August of 2003.

Not long after I started, they reduced the pop locks so the game wasn't so massive any more. They were spreading the players because there was a rapid outflow of them.

Within a year of release, we saw some servers shut down and merge entirely.

Shortly thereafter, Core Combat bombed and those holding out hope left too.

The rest left for WoW, in within 2 years or so, PlanetSide was largely an empty shell. People still played, and perhaps they always will, but the game was largely dead to me by 2006.

I dont want to see a repeat of this.

To put some figures to BF3 though -

PC sales - World - 2.02million
Xbox sales - World - 6.06million
PlayS2 sales - World - 5.52million

So are they worries about a PC only game? Really no.

/thread

NPD doesn't track DD, Amazon, and a some other retailers.

They didn't even start tracking Wal-Mart until recently. Those are incredibly unreliable and for most part are mere guesses. VGchartz is incredibly unreliable.

Think about this. Would you rather play:

With 63 other players on a 1 square kilometer map.
-OR-
With 1999 other players on your choice of three 'maps' each being 8 square kilometers.

The choice is obvious, and DICE sees that. I'd recommend they go change their underwear.

The "map" in PS2 is 64 square KM as far as I know.

No reason to be mad. This community is like Mother Teresa compared to some others. Try the LoL community, some of those people are only one step above 4chan.

The LoL community isn't THAT bad. You should have seen Dota back in the day, and especially on the semi-competitive side

. NOTHING can compare to it, LoL is just small remains of it. But it was fun in a way heh.

I don't care what DICE says they'll do, they've lied to me before.

Prove yourselves, DICE.

To be honest, BF3's only spark was the larger than average players on map and vehicle combat. Now that PS2 completely outclasses it, for me there is no more reason to play it. Dice and EA turned it into a money bucket and couldn't care less about the players, and that's why I won't spend anymore money on any game that will be produced/released by either Dice or EA.

Oh give me a break. How often do spend time on forums? This place is nowhere near bad.

What are you talking about?

It's just marketing hype and positioning be EA. Anyone remember when Novatech boasted aboat how they could host the largst online shooter to try and directly compete with Planetside, but they failed.. this is just a more subtle approach.

Almost all the first beta testers are going to be PS1 vets. This wouldnt be any concern, except that the devs really do seem to listen to what their playerbase says. PS1 vets are the last people they need to take advice from to build a truly phenomenal shooter. Leave it up to them (the diehard PS1 vets who are still subbed to this day) and we will get a bastardized version of PS1 with prettier graphics. It certainly wont help that this game is going to look old and antiquated in a couple of years when the standard hardware for games takes a giant leap forward due to next gen consoles.

Sorry pal we are top of the list.

actually he his rigth at some point the (( hard core )) planetside 1 vets i mean those who actually still play these days and who hate on every games that arent planetside 1 are by far the worst people to take advice from on thats he is right , because some of those people hate every new gameplay mechanics and some of them want a copy and paste of planetside 1 whith pretty graphics !

thats said , is every ps1 vets are like this ? NO not all like myself iam a old school ps1 vets 2003 to 2007 but i dont play ps1 anymore i was waiting for a sequel and ps1 is to old for me no matters how awesome it was back in the day i have good memories of it but i want it to evolve wich many ps1 actual players (( vets )) dont want the game to evolve thats factual ...

Look at many tread youll see so much DH people crying and asking to copy and paste planetside 1 and those people refuse to understand many aspect of the modern shooter mechanics !

I KNOW THIS ISNT EVERYONES but this guys was talking about them iam pretty much 100 % sure of that !

Iam also worried about who the dev will lisen at, because many DH ps1 players could ruins this game and some others can contribute to make it better so i share the same anxiety !

Dev need to stay true to their vision of the game and have to take feed back but not lisen at every ps1 actual players comments as a divine orders !

Because like i said multiple times many people in here have ideas that could Destroy this game !
