To be honest they have said they are still working on capture mechanics and that those here are just alpha.

If we are going to do the old point capture system there should still be a timer after all points are captured before the base fully flips.

There was an out of bounds in PS1... I remember because I used to load up galaxies and then drop the entire crew out of bounds so they would all die...

I hope to be able to do the same in PS2 on opening day

P.S

Dont pay attention to the tards calling it a BF3 clone. They are just ignorant when it comes to planetside.

Hamma brick shitting. Too much content released in one afternoon right after a big release from TB's last video. Too many people and lurkers.

That is the design goal of the Scythe. The developers said they want it to handle very "ufo-like" and that vanu tech allows their air vehicle to move in ways conventional flying vehicles can't. Hence, the scythe is the most maneuverable but sacrifices speed (TR) and armor (NC).

I swear it looks like those Reavers were drifting around their turns like a car.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one with either of these thoughts.

OH GOD THE PHYSICS ARE GLORIOUS

Boys, suit up for E3. We might just show some punks how Planetside works.

(I'm just speculating)

That would be a genius demonstration technique, but for some reason I don't think SOE has it in them to pull off a stunt like that.

Then again I could be wrong, their marketing team seems to be top flight, bringing in Totalbiscuit and others to view the game and get some name recognition going into E3. Releasing Beta or even Public Alpha during E3 could cause an uproar of awesome and steal the show. So maybe, just maybe.

and lol.

Oh, and the trailer needed more wub wub. I demand wub wub.

Jets do 'Drift' though, they can't turn on a dime as the momentum keeps them turning. In sharp turns the jet will have a tendency to continue in its original direction.

Speculating or not, this would be such a gratifying way to spend E3 from home. Forget game announcements. I'm too busy showing the press what MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER means. I think years of WoW and SWTOR has made them think it means 20-man arena matches or something.

'sup baron. I remember you. I played with Tricky quite a bit.

And there is no fucking way I'm going to allow those devs to give you (or any other pilot from AC) an air vehicle that can nose down 90 degrees without losing lift.

Aaaaaand the pieces are starting to slot together.
Hello epic combat persistent combat.
Goodbye monotonous round-based FPS's.

That was glorious.
Those sideways drifting air physics are simply amazing.

A massive E3 Alpha test would blow EVERYONE away, but it would have to be done right. MAG did it and it seemed to work for them. I'm definitely not counting on that.
