*** Official Planetside 2 Thread ***

Awesome :D I remember reading about this game when I was younger and thinking it seemed like such a cool idea/concept.

Might actually be tempted to "enlist" should it look the business :D
 
Wow.. awesome. Planetside was really good fun. Getting a group of 50 or so players together (or more) under one clan was great and doing raids etc. I just hope that if it's of the same vain, then there will actually be some value to taking AND holding a base. e.g. you get upgrades for the base the longer you have it etc, or access to production of certain weapons/tanks/vehicles/vehicle upgrades etc.

So many of my hours on this game... really good fun, and would play it again if it wasn't a subscription game. Getting the certs the hard way was part of the fun, I don't know why they made it so easy later on! (Guess it was flagging and they tried to get new people on board?)... I think WoW stole a lot of it's glory as well! :-(

I just hope they sort out the lag issues as that really plagued the first version when trying to play as a foot soldier.

I remember I bizarrely and randomly met my old clan leader from [W.A.S.T.E.D.] (a Team Fortress Classic (TFC) clan) and played briefly on the messed up/broken worlds thing that Sony did for PS. It was great, but lost contact afterwards, and I hated the way the world had become... so stopped my subscription.

I really like the way PS played and it's theme, I just hope they can an even better job, without screwing it up on the next one.

The tune and sound effects on the original planetside webpage brings back a huge sense of nostalgia.

I wonder how many details they are gonna release with this announcement, a gameplay trailer and some more solid details about a targeted beta date would be nice..... I can dream can't I :D
 
Just read an astonishing article about Planetside 1 on RPS - a fairly old article I think, but even for a non-player like me, stokes some interest for the potential of a sequel:

I went to the website two posts above, and the music is excellent. Made me want to play the game straight away again.
 
The music makes me well up inside still.... lol

I cant imagine how busy their servers will be when this comes out....
 
Anyone remember the run-up to the event where they broke the worlds up? Huge ****-off metoers falling out of the sky while you were in the middle of a massed battle was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a game.
 
ROFL.. yup :-) Was cool!

Just looking at the video's I do remember thinking how 'barren' a lot of the landscape's looked though. Shame they couldn't get the world looking prettier.

I did love how it was perpetual though, and I found my love for Teamspeak with this game :-)
 
so whos gonna be staying up to see what happens? :D

planetside brought me some of the best gaming memories i have, they better not screw this up or i'll be at sony's door with my jackhammer and an army of max suits ;)
