Honestly not a bad thing IMO. BF3 has very good feel when shooting. I hope PS2 will feel as smooth and polished as something like BF3.

Same for me. I'd love if it had BF3 mechanics. Just about the best I've seen in any shooter ever. It's the other things that fall short with BF3, not the gunplay really.

I was mostly in support roles with Planetside too, cos playing from europe + already horrible netcode and the archaic gunplay just didnt make me feel much like shooting

Indeed.

While it's true that Battlefield 3 lacked in areas like scale of combined arms warfare and non-linear maps, the combat system feels very natural and intuitive. Although I enjoyed playing titles like 2142 back in the early days of Battlefield, the controls always seemed very clunky and non-natural.

i agree with you blue. the movement and animation in bf3 is really smooth and natural. taking this aspect is not a bad thing at all.

I like the movement feel of Quake3.

Lets just hope they don't take the dust storms and smoke clouds the size of the entire map from BF3 (SmokeyField 3: Blinding Sunlight Boogaloo - Turbo Dust Edition)

Although I have faith in the dev team to not do that.

Gotta be a hipster and hate something that's good just because it's popular?

I couldn't agree more. It's awesome that the devs are updating Planetside's combat to modern day standards while maintaining the unique things that made Planetside incredible.

I think most Planetside players would agree that while the shooting mechanics were fun, there have been vast improvements to FPS games since 2003, and it makes sense to adapt to the new norm for PS2.

I have always wished that PS had the same feel to combat as Battlefield - PS had a far too long TTK, perhaps not with HA, but with MA weapons it felt like you were tickling people. This problem was compounded when MA users faced off against HA, often having the HA user have time to turn around and kill the MA guy who opened fire with the muzzle in his spine.

PS is about battle scale and equality between new and old characters - everything else is secondary.

Meh don't want.If I wanted bf3 gameplay style I'd go play BF3

Coreldan · 2012-04-29, 04:20 AM

With that logic you should just play Planetside 1 then, it's not like you are gonna be happy with it, it's gonna be different anyways cos what was common/worked back in 2003 certainly isnt that now.

Planetside 2 combat looks exactly like Killzone 2.

From TTK to how the combat just looks, it screams out Killzone 2.
