ATVs

better be in PS2

I love my fury. It is the only reason i play planetside. Mobility+ high firepower, sure if you get touched by anything you explode, but thats besides the point, its a fricken ATV

you didnt see it very often, but an army of ATVs could take down any target with ease.

With the new physics engine, they have some nice potential. Plus, I bet it would be immensely fun to just drive around in one if you're bored.

someone did mention during the Q+A when talking about the physx thingy "if you hit a hill in a tank you may not get up it, if you're on an ATV you'll be flying off the top" so they should be in, hopefully the fury is included as it was a surprisingly well balanced vehicle

Fury is awesome. Died almost instantly, but could annoy a tank a lot.

ATVs were nice because their one-cert cost ensured that you wouldn't have an extra cert let over. I wouldn't really mind if they are brought back in PS 2, but unless they are significantly buffed, they won't be very useful.

Not sure if serious. The fury is fine.

The fury is in the perfect spot. The rocket is very close to a deci shot, 3/4 will take down a max. The armor is low because it is not meant to take a beating. It is meant to be aimed, fired, and then you are gone before the enemies know what hit them.

I cant comment on the basilisk, I dont use it at all.

Wraith- did its job well. It is outshined by the phantasm now. ( its still fun to ram things in a wraith and then watch the enemies confusion when they just got rammed by nothing)

If they buffed the fury you'd drown in the whine. It was already easy to at least scare off if not kill a bad MBT crew and you could do some serious dmg to a good one before they knew where you were, lightnings and SG's were pure fodder for them

Intercepting LLUs on a Fury is no doubt one of my favourite things to do in Planetside.

ATVs were a great, cheap vehicle that if used in the right hands could be deadly. I hope they return in PS2.

I get a shit load of mine kills from ATVs. Keep them!

Yeah Lightnings and Skyguards are my bread and butter on a fury. Good for cleaning up damaged tanks that are retreating. Fury is pretty much my favourite playstyle because of the extreme uncertainty as to whether you're going to 1) get smoked in half a second or 2) get a massive veh killstreak...

I think that the wraith would be a lot more useful if it was ignored by mines when cloaked, but I haven't heard anything about cloakers in the new information, maybe they're on the outs for PS2...

Cloakers are in PS2. I think we knew before the Reddit interview, but Matt's "You'll have fun as an Infiltrator in PS2, I promise." confirmed it.

Someone mentioned in chat that if ATVs are in PS2, it'll probably be 1 ATV that you can modify into a wraith/fury/basilisk etc. using the certifications.

Nice, glad to hear cloakers are in.

Now all we need is a fury variant that has flak!
