Is the Phoenix in Planetside 2?

[BeefWellington]

I've been watching a friend play beta, but so far I can't figure out the whole weapon system yet.

So my question - is the Phoenix missile launcher in Planetside 2? It was the most fun I had with a weapon from Planetside 1, and it will determine what side I play on here.

[ChipMHazard]

Nope, it is not. All guided missiles are lock on atm. Well except for the laser guided one you can get as a secondary Vanguard weapon, I haven't tried it though so I don't know exactly how it works.

I remember seeing a FNO with Higby and there was a moment he went to swap loadouts and the phoenix was there in the list.

[ChipMHazard]

Then we might see it in the near future, every faction will almost certainly be getting one though.

[PhoenixDog]

No. And thank god for that.

I missed the Phoenix, if nothing for all the whining it caused from non-NC.

[Ghoest9]

I hope they bring it back - it was a fun. It was annoying too but it wasnt over powered.

I loved the Phoenix! However people on the receiving end of it didn't like it too much. With that in mind, should it be available for all empires? Or do you think all the ESAV was fairly balanced, albeit different?

[Hamma]

They created the phoenix and did some testing with it, but it's not in yet.

I wish they made more empire specific weapons that are noticably different. Not just simply adjusting damage, fire rate, and accuracy. PS1 was good for this and I hope PS2 starts moving tawords that model. It makes the Empires so much more diverse that way.

PS2 does have this diversity I just hope they keep going in that direction.

Used to have so much fun with that. We would see who could get it the furthest into a building or tower. Also as a scout it was a great tool.

I want lockers and scavenging again.
