Balanced for 2 teams? Tell me this isn't going to esports only content... Looks neat though.

[Hamma]

Well they will likely use this for eSports, they mad it sound like it will be available to everyone also. Check out the Twitch stream shortly as well I'm sure Matt will talk more about it.

Looks good Hamma.

Stream is up http://www.twitch.tv/planetside2

Looks amazing, but if it is open to the public it will have a small pop based on how big it is, maybe enough room for 2 large guilds to fight in. I wouldn't mind seeing a universal safe zone where you could challenge other players directly.

How is the Nexus linked to the regular game?

Hasn't been mentioned yet really.

This reminds me of the Avalanche map from halo 3.

I thought you had some insider access here, wtf! I thought you were on this stream deal here somewhere, pull some strings!@


edit: I did learn one thing, Xander guy did the level redesigns on Indar, he spent a month on it! He also did the Nexus island. So I assume he's doing Hossin, which means MLG is pushing back the solid content for the every day players /sadface

[Hamma]

I'm seeing this reveal along with the rest of you. We will be talking bout it later tonight with the ReachCast guys live on twitch.tv/planetside2 as well I'm sure it will come up. :P

[Hamma]

Looks like you got your question answered! They aren't sure how it will link into the live game yet.

@ 1:23 what is the back Prowlers main weapon?

It doesn't look like what we got not and the 2 barrels look fused to form a pill shape instead of the 2 separate barrels I remember. I can't find the pics but it looks like one of the tank weapon that was hidden in the game code but not out yet.

[Assist]

k, no longer thrilled with the Nexus. It sounds like they're making a CoD/BF style map with 48v48 or whatever, everyone starts on equal footing not with their normal character. So basically it's completely disconnected from the regular game. /sadface

[poxon]

I look at that then Esamir and just think we need some forests.

@Chewy, yes thats one of the models that was found in the game files. don't forget the black camo in there as well!
