...Has anyone asked about the return of the OS?

Surely it's skill-tree based?

I think it was mentioned at some point during the q&a ... not 100% sure.

Command Rank has been replaced with a commander cert tree. I imagine CR5 OS is deep down there.

I'd be shocked also. It's going to be more of the "Good job! you killed 10 dudes in a row without dying, you're doing awesome!" on screen notification variety than "unleash a massive space-kraken on your foes after you kill 10 guys in a row".

Cthulu as a killstreak reward, hells to the yeah.

There are an upside and downside:

kill streaks will slow down the pace of the game, which is GOOD in planetsides case.

on the other hand it discourages teamwork


i also wanna point out while in call of duty players look down on camping, in planetside defence of locations and staying at one place is a vital part of the game.

so this is confirmation we wont be seeing any space krakens?

the kill streak awards can be abilities that enhance the teammates, instead of abilities that enhance just yourself. maybe a temporary 10% damage buff or resistance

if they do that theres no point to kill streaks at all. in fact casual people who also played cod would probably complain.
