Manned, deployable turrets? NICE.
Had them in PS One. Maybe I left before implementation. The idea of placing a nice anti-air turret under some tree cover and then hopping in it is mouth watering. |

Pretty sure he meant the turrets that were in game on day one.

Nope, There are two, Wall turrets that have AI and can be manned, and The deploy able turrets for adv Combat engi. Manned, deployable turrets? NICE.

Those graphics are going to look jarringly ridiculous when a gun clips into a wall, or a rocket hits a tree, blows up, and the tree is unscathed. - Some sort of social networking hooks will be present.
Can I post pictures of my goldfish and have other Planetside players "like" them? |

I'm cautiously optimistic, as I was before and will be right up to launch.

     Coloring inside the lines: An interview with PlanetSide 2's Tramell IsaacPlanetSide 2: Meet the Team
We won't be as fast as BFBC2. We'll land somewhere between there and current Planetside for TTK. The overall pacing is a lot more than just TTK, though. Travel speed, speed to get into battles, % of downtime, etc. We want all that stuff a lot faster than PS1.
There will still be lots of opportunity for slower paced, less hectic gameplay, but in general we're going for a faster paced feel. Now, that doesn't mean we're making it anything like MW or UT - those are games we like a lot, but it's not Planetside and it never will be.
We're building everything in this game from the ground up with the pacing in mind, so any assumptions based on PS1 mechanics (i.e. infiltrators are screwed in a faster paced game because they don't have armor!) don't fly. SourceEach empire has their own unique air fighter in PS2. The Reaver belongs to NC, the Mossy is TR. The VS have a new fighter that we're currently calling the Dyson, although that may change (and no, it's not powered by cyclone technology or a smarty-pants British accent).
Each has slightly different flight mechanics, strengths, weaknesses and capabilities which help to reinforce and round out the empire.
Each of these fighters will serve multiple roles depending on how the player loads out the vehicle, you can configure any of them to be more air-to-air orientated, air-to-ground orientated, etc. You'll be able to change out afterburners to get more speed, or armor to get more durability, countermeasures, radar dampening, etc. We're working on a lot of really cool gameplay here, I think you all will be stoked and I can't wait to share a bit more about them soon! =) |

What he is saying is that TR is now the only acceptable race choice.

I found it odd too. But there seem to no longer be two crafts for two different roles. Each craft is modular and can be specd out for different roles. That sounds kinda cool.

My only condition to play ps2 is to log in and shoot things. If I can do that for an hour and not waste all my ammo on a someones chest, I'll play and get my friends to play. The minute you can do the hocky pooky while i'm shooting you i'm uninstalling.

They really need to rename the air vehicles then. Why the hell make it confusing by giving them the same names as PS1 but make each empire specific? Get creative with the naming and not just the screenshots.  I think they are going to be taking the queue from how they designed the bfrs and assault buggies - which means the mossy is going to be the bullet sprayer, reaver is going to fire off slugs, and the dyson will, as always, shoot disco balls. Loadouts will be for AA, AI, and AV but server (wtf was I typing?) serve pretty much the same fashions. Mossy, lots of rockets, Reaver, sidewinders, Dyson, different color disco balls. And seriously.... for a game that was going to "be out soon," you'd think they'd have some sorta gameplay vids out. All these screenshots are doing is pissing me off as cover art. |

I fucking love the hocky pooky. Often after doing so, I waste some ammo on a someone's chest. Much more polite than the face, I think. Can't wait to see the crippled version of graphics they actually launch with, these screenshots are useless. |

This game will arrive at my house along with my new PC, I expect. I like the modular approach.

Well that whole be out soon was before they decided to change planetside 2 into using their new engine that will be powering planetside 2 and eq next. I am just hoping it comes out in 2012 at this point. |

Looks nice. Also good to see they're getting some extra mileage out of the SWG sound effects.  |

Not that game companies don't buy the same sound banks across many titles. All I heard was old PS1 sounds ( like the one when the view changed ), it could also have been used in SWG.
Also new screenshots. I see some bases in the background, looks like a nod to the old style, just larger ( and higher rez ).

Dear #BF3, I'm not an expert in game design or nothin, but if all I can see is enemy's head and I get 3 hits, maybe one could be a headshot.

You keep telling yourself that while trying to get across the mined deathtrap bridge. What's that? Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you from my FLYING TANK that just sailed over the river without even slowing down.
