That eight hour tower fight still stands out as probably the highest point of my time on Auraxis. That said, there were plenty of other, "holy shit, that was epically stupid and fun at the same time" moments. Kamikaze diving a reaver into a magmower, because the driver just knew I was gonna sit back and launch missiles at him instead of "damn the torpedoes". He sent me a tell afterward along the lines of, "You crazy fucker". To which I replied, "No doubt, shit just got real, pard."
I know I can't capture any of those moments again, but like Slayerik said, "let me add a few more to my list."

Hay look. Base turrets! I bet you can just "pop" into those too. Also, Spitfires are gone. Also:

Goes to newsstands on the 28th. Hay look. Base turrets! I bet you can just "pop" into those too. They're going to have turret emplacements via engineer also. Along with other on-the-fly fixed-position stuff. Should be fun, animations or not.

Wait, didn't Engineers have that first time around? I thought I remembered placing turrets and sensors. Usually was my thing. Drop in with a Mosquito, scout, place stuff, bolt.
Most of my favorite MMO experiences were UO, early EQ1, PS1 and SWG. But I don't know how much of that was because things were still new to me then, I was younger and had more time, or something else. I just want different. And I want different enough that I don't need to look very hard for why it's different :)

I think for planetside 2 they are going more for the manned turret deployable than the automated one. Honestly having played with the droppable manned one that plus mines is fine for me. The old spitfires would get some kills here and there but mostly they were harassment tools due to how fragile they were.

They were great for stealthers, though. Drop a turret and then knife a group of enemies while they are distracted by it.

Are you kidding? Spitfires were awesome... for killing their own team.
You could tell a newb because he would stand too near a spitfire when there were snipers around. I can't count how many kills I got from the collateral damage caused shooting someone's spitfire. Hell, I even got the kill shot on a couple of BFRs that way.

This is a good place for the former- and current-hardcore to gather. Go out to a number of more modern shooter boards and Planetside would be virtually unknown.

X100 For Stealth turrets. But, you won't be making your own tactics anymore. You play in the class box, and you like it. /end

Goddamned kids. When I was with the hacking and the video games Wolfenstein was isometric, as god intended.

Not isometric -- it was a top down / "sideways" view.

@briguy9876 No restrictions there. if you are/were a PlanetSide player you get a beta invite, be sure your station acct email is accurate Source.Clearly not courting feedback from previous PS one players. For those of you who never played but post here anyway there is this.

Then again, I really do not want to even look at this game anymore.

They have station accounts? PS was the only game I played from SOE, so whatever the hell email I had in 2003 is long since dead and buried. Still, a moot point.

Not really. Log into your station account and update the email address and I bet you get the beta invite, since I doubt they're tracking by email address, but by station account activity in the past.
Quite decent of SOE, for a change.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

And pray tell how do I log onto a station account when I have no clue what account I even had. And password for it? Yeah... I'd be better off decrypting druid glyphs than to attempt hitting on a password I used in another lifetime. Again though... I don't much care as I am very disappointed in the direction of this game and most likely will pass on even the beta.
