Parkour Elements in Planetside?

In Planetside 2 I would like if they added Parkour elements into the game like brink. And I want to know what you think? Also click the link to see what happens when you order at rush hour:

No.

I think that would take way too long to implement and wouldn't serve any useful purpose other than looking cool. It worked fine in Brink with small matches but probably wouldn't in an MMOFPS with 2000+ players.

I absolutely loved sprinting over obstacles and wall-jumping over gaps in S4League, and have been searching for another similar game for a long time.

That said, it really doesn't feel appropriate in the Planetside universe.

U guys are aware that hes just trolling?

Wait... You mean that... the light assault class was not intended to play like a platformer ? I'm flabbergasted !

No thanks.

Keep free running out of PS.

I'm not sure there's a place for it when the light assault can already use jump jets to get over obstacles.

Larger obstacles ?

Parkour? No. I would like to see troopers climbing over waist/chest high obstacles but not magically running, jumping and rolling over the entire base at will.

Ok, so taking the question totally cereal:

*serious face*

It would be quite nice to have an fps where you could grab onto a ledge and pull yourself up. That's still not a simple trick for the devs to implement I'm sure, but it'd be quite nice in a game like PS2 where combat environments seem to be emphasizing the vertical quite a bit more. As a drawback, you'd be pretty vulnerable while climbing up, and heavier classes would do it more slowly with MAXes being totally unable to climb.

It's just so ridiculous that games haven't evolved much past crouch-jumping to navigate your environment.

as long as they add McDonalds slides and monkey bars I'm ok with it

What is this?

This thread has no purpose.
