Nice article!

Good read!

Select a particular objective, and, bingo -- you'll instantly be placed in a squad with all other players who are also on the same mission.

Didn't know that was in. Sounds nice.

Aww man, I wonder how much of this we haven't heard already. Anyone have kind of a TLDR on new info? I'm on my laptop so reading this would create a terrible eyestrain on me.

Very good article. Is that second picture new? Haven't seen it before, looks awesome!

Holy shit man, look at that dust and lighting.

I believe all of the PS2 pictures in that article are new, including the shot of the Mosquito. More importantly, I believe that's the clearest picture of the territory boundaries that we've seen so far.

Wish they had a higher res version I'd rehost it.

Sweet Jesus. I've never been so happy to be upgrading my computer to play a game before.

Good read. That shot with the dust looks great!

Cheers,

That is a gorgeous shot.

So far the only problem I have with Planetside 2 is that, to get these gorgeous graphics, you need a crazy good graphics card that can handle shadows, and an Nvidia 200 series can only do so much

May need something past an intel quad processor too... I dunno.

Other than that, glad to hear it's getting good news. This and Gw2 will be my college games of choice for a long while.

Also something I've never noticed before, but on that map in the last shot, there are 75 contestable bases on the map, unless I miscounted. I am happy with this amount. You can see which resource each of them grants based on the legend on the map. I don't know what resources are which outside Auraxium that seems to come from 9 bases.

It was a good read and I can't wait to get in game. Also, that pic above looks amazing. I agree the lighting and detail is truly stunning.

Spy Guy says: Is there such a thing as a game with too many players? I mean, as long as the map is big enough to fit them all comfortably -- I wouldn't want to cram 2,000 players onto de_dust. PS: PlanetSide 2 beta should be starting up sometime in the next couple of months, so keep an eye out!

I really hope this is just pure speculation, I can't stay hyped for a game that long
