Know of any decent outfits on NC?

Got a few of us looking to merge with a bigger outfit.

What do you mean by bigger? one that has 20-30 people on most nights or zerg outfit?

I'm in Digital Legion which is a great bunch of guys, generally have 2 or 3 squads on. Don't take things super military sim seriously but do try to play in a well organized way and look to work with other NC outfits.

Check the official forums for miller recruitment I guess, see if any catch your eye.

Need some advise on NC weapons.

What are the other MAX weapons like, I've bought the 2nd Airbuster but that's it.

Also are the other HA launchers worth buying, only have the shrike at the moment.

We're on Miller as NC - Smurf Assault Squad.

We've got some really regular players, few casuals too as life dictates play time and looking maybe after Xmas to expand again as it's been a hectic few weeks so we closed applications for a bit to get everyone integrated :D

Also, in the New Year/Late January we're doing a live interview with Maggie Khron aka Luperza one of the PS2 Devs :D
 
Anyone here playing VS on Cobalt? Looking for an outfit/squad that doesn't mind having a casual player join their ranks.
 
This game is awesome, especially when the map goes dark.

I'm surprised how much I'm playing it, even though its similar to BF3 in the sense of vehicles / air & infantry combat there is just something good about this game, maybe the sci fi setting or just the scale of it but anyhow I love it :D

Make sure you join a good outfit if you haven't already, makes it even better :D
 
Some guy randomly invited me to one and added me to his friends list but he hasn't been on since yesterday, I'll probably leave it then look around, I'm on server 'woodland' I think? Begins with W anyway :p

Woodman I think. Not on that server so can't really suggest any. Probably best to just check the Woodman recruitment forum on the official ps2 forums see what there is.

Or just try and keep an eye out for clan tags when your in a big fight see which outfits seem organized/do things you're interested in.

Well can't really help you there, depends heavily on what you enjoy/what would be useful things to be able to switch to with your outfit (if your in one).

Two suggestions though:

Firstly keep a hold of some of that cash, they've mentioned new vehicles (snowmobiles and buggies have been mentioned) being added in the early part of next year and there is definately a patch sometime around January so possible new things could be added. Also allows you to pick up the odd thing on daily deal.

Secondly, trial any weapon you're looking at before you buy. Go to the store, click unlock on the weapon you want to try, then at the bottom will be a blue button to trial it for half an hour (you'll need to select it at a terminal). You can trial one item every 8 hours I think, and can only trial each individual item once a month (or similar longer cooldown).

Didn't know this, that's sweet
 
playing much better on my new build, was up till 3am lastnight getting my PC up and running, been "stability testing it for 2 hours tonight and now its time to OC it and see how it goes.

Much easier to play with a frame rate over 20 though ive had some weird bugs tonight with vechiles spawning in buildings and all sorts of strangness
 
just started this game with just 13hrs on the clock
really like night time and when tanks barging in the gate when conquering a base :D

anyone know if there is a way to take out enemy aircraft as an infantry? like the stingers in bf3? I could use all my ammo for rpg as a heavy and it wont even hit lol
 
There are Ground to Air, Ground to Ground and Ground to Air/Ground missile launchers that you can buy for the heavy assault.

I use the Ground to Air one. Nice feature is that you can still manually aim and shoot, unlike the stingers in BF3 that require a target to shoot.
 
Yeah I bought some station cash and kitted out some more vehicles with better weapons and some more Camo skins.

Been using my Flash with the M40 a lot more, upgraded it too 10% so far and it rocks infantry really well and can give vehicles a nasty bite, then you fire up the turbo and bug out. :D

Died more to flipping over and crashing then enemy so far. :)

I wish they would fix the ramdon freeze and crash bug, soon as one of us in my outfit crashes, we all crash together while the other day, one of my outfit friends managed to stay online and do a lot of killing in an AMP station, all the enemy had the same problem. lol

Tonight, suffered my first attack against a "land mine" that was throw at my Sund. That''s bullcrap to be honest. Mines, Claymore and Bounching Betties need to be better seen or had their damaged reduced a little.

Also agree that Night time is the best for battles, love seeing the tracers.

Looking forward to the next patch, hoping they will finally balance VS, but personally speaking, the faction sided weapon system is flawed. Would be better if everyone had the same stats and the only differences would be our vehicles, there is a nice topic and post in the Planetside 2 forums that goes into the system with greater detail.

Does anyone ever visit it or post there? It's a cess-pit.

I don't get why everyone complains about the "zergs" I don't see the problem of players coming together, I mean.. that's how armies are made? Does everyone expect to be Rambos and run around doing everything themselves? Then others complain there are too many vehicles or too many aircraft? Well.. this is Planetside.. We on a planet, what do you want, just infantry? From watching videos of the first Planetside, it be nice if they did have bigger bases that are only open to infantry, the current design is amateur. A underground base or cave or tunnel base would be pretty awesome.

People moan at anything, considering this is an mmofps I thought the whole point was to come together and dominate as much of the map as possible -_-
