Was still a great game with core combat to be honest. BFR's were a bit lame though
Cannot for the life of me remember the name of my old outfit, driving me mad >_<
P.S can some mod make this the official PS 2 thread!

Core combat had some awesome moments in it, I loved the multiple platform levels added a nice bit of variety to the game.
BFR's ruined everything, it gave me the feeling that all other vehicles were obsolete when you had these on the field. On top of that they were just a ridiculous design, being able to fly and barrage the inside of a base? no fond memories since they came into play
I remember mine, The Gondorians (NC) - we had quite a lot of people, ring a bell for anyone? leader was an absolute LotR nut as you might tell
I also remember KickAss having some really decent players though I can't recall any names.

I sort of remember the Gondorrians. I don't remember your players though.
Remember Formido?
Core Combat was OK in that the levels were great for different weapons (MCG, MA) but mostly it just made me wish the surface stuff was more varied.
I hated the weapons, vehicles and ziplines though.
BFRs were pretty much Hitler.
Also **** Annwyn.

I've RTM for a thread name change but if a mod reads this - please rename it to;

Please.
I only played PS1 for a few days when it was in its prime as I was addicted to another MMO at the time. Was PS1 quite casual friendly or does it require a lot of time to get competetive?
I like the idea of being competitive straight away like a typical FPS yet having areas to dedicate time to like a traditional MMORPG.

No, afraid not. I have my own outfit from the original Planetside.
The anatomy of a PlanetSide 2 battle in 2,000 words
Too much text to copy and paste, but go read it! One key point that stood out is the lack of auto turrets. So if there's nobody in a turret, its not going to shoot you. Or at least that's how it appears though Higby mentions that that's something they are going to look at in the beta, to see if the game works like that, or if they really do need turrets to shoot back against people automatically. Also, hacking a base disables the spawn tubes entirely!
Also, they released a time-lapse video showing how a weapon is designed:

Cannot WAIT for this game to be released! Tempted to resub to PS to simply make sure I've got myself a Beta key when they're available. I've been following the updates on FB for quite a while now, and whilst I'm a TR guy at heart... I'm really, REALLY, liking the look of the Vanu's stuff. I cannot wait for the day where I'm in a Galaxy getting ready to hot drop over some facility to take it out of the NC's ownership.
Also, go Soul Reapers!

lol, likewise on the pc gamer
I might ask my wife to pick me up a copy on Wednesday
Beta key is only in PC Gamer US, not the UK version.
Also, looking at the VS weapons I'm not keen on the Fission. It looks like its just the TR's striker, unless t's fire and forget like the Sparrow Max is.

Quite excited about this, PS took a lot of my time in my younger years and was my first mmo.
As I'm the US next week I guess I will just have to accidently on purpose find a copy of PC Gamer.

Or ten, and sell the beta keys on XD
