Higby, Tray, and the rest of the PS2 dev team.

After spending the last few hours reviewing the collected GDC information, I wanted to get a community message out to the PS2 dev team.

I think you guys at SOE have been doing a wonderful job building our dream game thus-far. After having taken part in several gaming communities, and seeing many different launch preparations I usually find myself disappointed by the output of the crafters. Planetside live was a passion for a long time to everyone who peruses this forum, and I have yet to see a community more dedicated to their game than this one. With that said I want to thank Matt, and his team for all their diligent work to date. We have been tough on you, and some even criticize changes you guys have made, but just the limited progress we've seen from this GDC demo I can safely say I am very impressed by what is shaping.

It may not be the classic game or a revamp of the original but I feel that it is the right course of action, CoD complaints and Battlefield comparisons are going to happen because they are similar in genre and successful. Yet neither of those 2 games come close to the scale the SOE team has been developing. Adding those elements will hopefully draw die-hards away from those games, and I dont see why I shouldnt embrace these changes...


Long story short.

Matt and team. I want to personally thank you for all your hard work so far. I eagerly wait for a chance to try this myself. I'm sure this community agrees with me for the most part and I'd like to hear they're thoughts as well here.
