this is the best informational video of ps2 from e3 so far.

You can buy them with cash or in game resources, and they aren't upgrades.

Dunno how that makes you uneven.

By far best summary vid...Awesome.

Top Sgt · 2012-06-07, 01:27 AM

DirtyBird · 2012-06-07, 01:28 AM

This.

The store is like the League of Legends store. Everything gameplay altering is available for money or ingame resources. Cosmetic stuff is purely real money.

Seems perfect to me.

Woah.. the last 20 seconds of that interview BLEW MY MIND.

Closed beta starting withing a few weeks *and then open beta a couple of weeks later!*

So I'm guessing the main purpose of the closed beta is to make sure the servers can handle the ~2,000 players. And then the real balancing work will be done over an extended open beta period before release.

Sounds like a good plan to me. And this is good news for all the players who didn't get the chance to get a beta key.

seems good to me. there is no pay to win in this game. its all stuff that you would get via playing anyway. everything has a trade off. the weapon might do more damage but the fire rate may be lower ect. so far i am very happy with the market. love the camo's i'll be getting the desert ones anf forest ect so i blend into the continents.

great vid aswell

Higby is getting better and better at being informative and covering every little bit of important details. Kudos to Matt.

Also really happy to see the return of the real time map that we can view before we even log on the game. I was really upset to see that go in the first one.

RSphil · 2012-06-07, 01:57 AM

loving the app. that will be prode of place on my iphone, would even get an ipad just for that for some real command center stuff lol

cant wait for beta and the game is going be the best of the year.

OutlawDr · 2012-06-07, 01:58 AM

gotta agree, good summary video. This is the video I'll show to friends.
