Not sure if I am liking the cert point hand outs atm. Seeing to many elite vehicles about, I suppose it is just part pf the test to see if amything crashes the game. Had some great battles today though as about 25 tanks rolled on the crown.

Really who cares? It's all getting wiped anyway.
So after playing for two weeks, I believe this game isn't balanced at all and the DEV's haven't got a clue on how to balance it, because they fix one thing only to break something else.
AA is totally broken, AA turrents are as useless as me shouting harsh words at the enemy.
Some guy was hovering in-front of me and I was pounding it with all hits and doing little damage to it.
He fired his rockets once and am gone.
The HUD for the Prowler isn't aligned at all with the cannons. I was camped behide a tree, my crosshair was far to the right of the tree and everytime I fire... I kept hitting the tree.
When there isn't any air flying around, tank warfare is fun neverless.
Maybe they fix a lot of these problems in time.
Glad it's free.
Amen to that. I'm actually starting to realise this game is actually quite average. Infantry combat feels like your playing in treacle, and it feels like a 10 year old game to me.
Some exploits are starting to bug me now. Blinking infantry in the big fights, disappearing and appearing and terrible draw distances, some strange warping. The latest habit of blowing up friendly sunderers so you can deploy yours.
Ill still play and buy the stuff I want but theres some annoying bugs they must fix.

Those sorts of things are almost certainly going to be present and as sucky for months to come; I think anyone wanting to play this game from launch onwards just better come to terms with being a complete mess until this time next year.

Oh today I couldn't deploy my Sunderer, why is that? Is there some limit?
The main bug I really hate is when friendly or enemy vehicles don't have a "arrow" tag to identify they are as friendly or enemy which causes me to shoot them once or twice to find out.
I heard so much hype on how awesome PS1 was and watched videos and it looked great, but PS2 isn't living up to the old hype for me.
So Brookert I also agree that this game is average.

Oh wow, that's crap then.
Next patch is meant to add a visual for sunderer drivers showing the deploy range of others - the range also is meant to be subject to change.
But I wouldn't call it crap without having played a month ago when 5 sunderers would roll into a base and deploy everywhere making it very difficult to get rid of them - even whilst you maybe managed to get a couple down more would have turned up and deployed in that time.
I've got one for each of you, if I could work out how to send a PM!?

Pretty crappy night on this for me last night. The game on two occasions slowed down to 3fps and crawled to a halt, CPU usage went up to 80% and GPU usage basically stopped causing my computer to lock up. I couldn't zoom in with infiltrator sniper gun as it would show the tip of the gun on my screen, really hard to describe but majorly ****ed up bug.

servers open at 2pm uk time.
1pm since the clocks went back innit?
It is aligned with the HUD, what you're experiencing is the point in which it actually fires from - not the center but on the left, the canon itself.
I agree with you though, the game isn't anywhere near release. The 'metagame' sucks, there is no defined goal with only 3 continents and each empires foothold spawn on each one because the population will be evenly balanced and rarely ever will you hold a continent. The game loses focus quickly and becomes stale.
I feel they should have waited til they had at least the 6 continents they aim to have sometime next year, give them room to add continental domination and more time to iron out bugs and balance issues.
For me the first Planetside was fun because there were plenty of continents (10 I think?), to log in and see half of the world map in that glorious shade of blue knowing your faction has achieved all this was a great incentive to play and carry on the continental conquest.

Sometimes it seems I am the only one enjoying this game 
I've been in since tech test and have been fascinated to watch the game progress. Its better now that it has ever been - not perfect sure but I am still enjoying myself.
Meta game needs work sure and there are some odd things going on with lag, the ever present hacker issue etc.
But I am really enjoying trying to get a continental lock on Amerish as VS at the moment.
Once the warp gates become active and they move the home gate to your home continent I fear that all we'll see is three different continents in 3 different colours and everyone will be just sat around drinking a nice cup of tea unless they add another continent quickly.
That said I am even more looking forward to live now that I was when I started.
