See I used to prefer the NC rifle over the TR cycler, was it called the gauss rifle? It had a smaller clip and fired slower but it was good for long range due to the reduced recoil.

Close/Medium though the cycler was unbeatable, you could simply put more bullets into your enemy if you were careful to tap tap tap the trigger.

LIES i could kill MCGers using a gauss rifle at pointblank range, Well maybe the noob ones

Gauss rifle was soooo good i hope they keep it similar to the original one.

I don't understand, why is that a bad thing exactly?

Forget being f2p, just have a read at that. I really can't wait for it now!

F2P huh. Is this gonna be like TF2 'hats'. Flippin' hope not. Buying alternative weapons/armour/mods might be interesting though.

 

[Swifty55]

More like LoL/Guildwars.

Buying weapons/armor/mods is a big 'no no' as it will ruin the game - and they've stated that but with SOE you never know...

How will it ruin the game when they are purely aesthetic? they have stated bought items will not provide a player any power benefits over those that don't buy.

Oh, and that screenshot fired up my nerd excitement - glad to see the bases are even bigger

If they stick to the way Guildwars work - purely aesthetic then it will be fine.

Couple more from TRay

 

[Xire]

That is fap material right there

 

[MoodyB]

Looks lovely, but I'd like to see a screen with 50+ players on it & an fps counter in the corner.

Looks incredible. Never played the original planetside however if this is anywhere near as good as how people have described the first one then I'll most certainly buy it.

Is there a release date for it yet?

 

[LeJosh]

I've not played the original but I'm very excited for this.

I'm aiming for some great war stories.

 

[PsychoPigeon]

I prefer F2P mmo's, the game is always populated and I can choose to support the developers if the game's any good by buying a crappy hat.

 

[XPE]

F2P is a tricky one, they need to balance it just right

Edit: now thats what i call a base, I wonder if the gunship galaxys will be back?

Also what going to happen to the 1st game?

Reading on RPS the galaxies are used as a spawn point, I think...

Interesting


The gunship galaxy’s always reminded me of AC130's

Once planetside up the amount of aircraft the sky’s became a very interesting place, once the wasp and bomber were introduced
