Each shoulder pad will have it's own continent on it which will support gameplay with 1000s of players.

Is there an option to turn off crosshairs, I always like to do it in every FPS so iron-sight is more relevant.

Forgetting about whether it's casualed down or bad graphics or whatever... I honestly would play the crap out of a Starcraft MMOFPS. One of many marines shooting down zerg and protoss... can specialize if you want into maurader/firebat/ghost, or drive vehicles.... BATTLECRUISER.... :O

Remember SOE

Casualizing the game might attract a few more players than if it was left with a certain difficulty like most of this forum want. However, the people who it will attract will simply leave of the next best game, and more standard players will leave as well because the gameplay does not have enough depth

Whether or not thats an individual option for a player to do themselves IDK but I am confident to say there wont be such a thing as a "hardcore" server with no reticle and no minimap and things like that.

why would you want to turn off the crosshairs anyway all thats going to do is put you at a disadvantage to everyone else?

I do in fact think this game will become a household name. It's going to be interesting to see how all us longtime PS vets react to this. I don't doubt that we will lose more than a few to the "oh, it's popular now? It must suck." mentality. I myself am glad to see PS2 become the next big thing in gaming.

I played WoW for a couple of years when it first came out. What really hooked me at the beinning was being in the dwarf captial amd seeing a couple druids seemlessly wand without breaking stride turn into cheetahs. To me anyways that was some serious wow factor. And I think PS2 has that same wow factor.

Lol, this is completely bizarre to me.

I tried the free trial 3 months ago and was so appalled with graphics and animations I uninstalled it after 5 minutes.

Well, all that time playing Killing Floor I guess, I can hit perfectly well without crosshairs, it's just a distraction to me now.
And I like for there to be a reason for why things are on HUD, I would only accept it if soldiers wear helmets with that kind of display and there would be lore to explain it.

Well, it appeals to the 8 year olds that make up 90% of the playerbase. They beg their mom for their credit card and they give in.

I agree with that. I just dont see PS2 being the biggest hit ever. And let me clarify, that is a very very good thing. See WoW caters to the masses of lemmings. which makes a great bottom line when it comes to the numbers game for blizzard. But WoW is still a terd. And you cant polish a terd. Its a piece of shit and no matter how much you sugar coat it, if you bite into it your still going to taste shit. PS2 on the other hand will (i believe), be wildly popular for all the right reasons all the while not catering to lemmings it will find and get quality players to be loyal to a much better franchise in the Planetside brand.

My comment was based on the original topic. I referred to WoWs success not its quality. Stay on target.
