*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

I have to say that I think VS have been forced into a hard place for so long that they have played around it and that's what is making them stomp since the buff.

Our carbines have been so overwhelmed by the TR and NC equivalents for so long that many VS players do not have the "storm in and kill kill kill" mentality the TR and NC weapons imbue. We have been forced to think outside of the box and be a bit more evasive - now the weapons buff has come we are still doing that but killing more often.

I also find that VS are much better organised on Eurydome than the other factions. The evasive ground pounding tactics and better organisation has lead to a very strong force now the weapons can compete.

However on a one vs one weapon basis I still think TR have the advantage at close range and NC and medium/high range.

If I play my TR toon after months of playing VS I find I absolutely own with it. Its almost like easy mode.
 
I was on EU server last night playing with the outfit I joined recently. We (VS) were 30% of the server yet owned just under 50% of Indar, I played as TR and NC for a bit in the beginning and VS seem to have the best leaders directing the zerg etc
 
That theres fighting talk red, pistols at dawn. Cant say coming up against those dang shotguns is making me feel superior at close range.

TR does not seem to have much in the way of leadership, but then i mostly dont bother joining outfits and just latch onto whatever attack/defence is going on. It certainly seems the VS hive mind is better, tanks supporting sunderers and the like, whereas with TS youre either in the zerg or in front of it.

Just jumped on, granted it was only a 30 minute bash but 2 months ago i'd have crashed 5 times in that space of time :p

Seemed ok, looking forward to giving it some more time. Didn't fall through the floor either, which is always a bonus ;)

hey guys, im thinking this rig, this seems to tick all the boxes, ram, graphics card, processer, did look at intel machines, but as im on a tight budget, this seemed to draw my attention, whats peoples options on this rig on how it would run planetside.

Thought of building your own? You could get better value for money if you do you should make a post down in the General Hardware section and the guys there could spec you out a very decent rig!

I just got into the beta for this the other day and had time to give it a quick try. Whenever I died it wouldn't let me deploy to any of the stations or even the base HQ, the only way for me to respawn was to back out to the character select screen and go back in. Is this just a bug or am I being a divvy?

I've not even figured out how to get different weapons or anything yet, I'll have to have some more time with it later this week.

+1, its not a bad system, 7950 and all, but for 9000 quid you could do a lot better building your own, and its very simple to do. Just ask, say how much youve got to spend and what you want to use it for (gaming) and away you go.

Theres currently a bug (or a naff changed feature, nah its a bug) where if you select the little green spawn point it wont actually 'select' it and it will only give you the option of spawning at the pre-selected one. Very annoying. But you should be able to spawn close to where you died by seeing adeploy button. that sounds like a new bug. This is what you should be seeing - oh and make sure you dont stand in front of a field like this, they can shoot out, you cant shoot in :)

i have, but i just want to buy a rig take it out the box and go.
how do the specs look will they run planetside allright, im not after max settings at all, just decent enough to get like 25-30 fps in big battles.
 
Great game tonight, we took the Crown and fought off a heavy VS assault, hundreds of the buggers assaulting South uphill to the spawn. Was good, the Crown is always a laugh.

Im just hoping Amerish is fogless, Esamir is stupid, white snow and pea souper does not much fun make, Looking at some vids where they had turned off the fog, saw no reason why its on. The game looks great.

In all honesty I would stick to an Intel CPU for this game, it appears to have issues with AMD processors right now. Get an i5 3570k and a 670/7950 with 8gb ram and that will be more than enough to run it well.
