I'm digging it, the battles are exciting, the controls feel good. Frame rate is great no lag hit detections worked including bullet drop. It has a bug or two but for first time beta impressions A-. How it compares to dust? That's kinda not fair my experience with other games on the ps4 have been really good meanwhile some of the same PS3 clone versions are buggy so it's apples to Commodores. I can compare the experience of being an initial beta tester on both games Dust514 D-

1. Is it region locked? IE you have to pick your region then pick a server to play on? |

No, you have to sign up on the planetside 2 PS4 interest site and then they send you a closed beta invitation. |

ugh you lucky bastards.. still waiting for invite.. i played some PS2 on PC and i realized that dust had trained me well. the enemy players i encountered were easy to rush. they seemed like they were playing in a lower gear than dust players when in CQC. tho i'm sure there were good players out there but i didnt see them that session. i'm really really looking forward to this.. also we have No Man's Sky and DayZ in development

It will be region locked. But I'm sure you can get around those locks if you want to play on specific servers.

I received my code on the 22nd and have played 10-14 hours. I was welcomed to the PS2 beta by being shot in the face 2 times in a row by protoman (or A protoman) --which, I only mention because it's exactly how I was welcomed to the DUST closed Beta. I was prepared for the Beta to be jacked up --which it wasn't -- though there is some optimization, tweaking and bug/exploit squashing to be done.
Battles are enjoyable -- Large battles are fun. Vehicles (air & ground) all over the place. Medics and engineers appear to have no shortage of things to do. Lone-wolf types will have fun without overly irritating the team/squad based players. I'm looking forward to playing with my peeps once they get their okoles into the beta. Maps are big and it's easy to find a fight.
Jump in when your code arrives and add your voice. I feel like PS2 for the PS4 is starting off in a good place and --and, hey, it's free.

Do you have an idea of how many players are on a map on average? Also how often do you end up in a three-way battle for the same position?

The other night they had 800+ on the map and yes all the end up at the same points sometimes. So far it's living up to the hype it baffles me why the pcmaster race crowd would waste they're time with playing dust if this were available to them the last two years instead.

Another couple question, I saw a guy spawn a vehicle from a console in a video, are there free respawns for those? Or are you spending points or something? Are classes weapon locked? (Can't use assault rifle on any class. Can only use SMG's/carbines on support/repair classes etc.)
But, i'm not dead!

It's apparently if I am not woefully mistaken about resources a combination.
You use collected resources which are allocated to you on a personal level after a set amount of time. You then use these resources to construct your vehicle which consumes them.
There is also a cool down on the vehicles that can be lowered through Certification.
Either after your vehicle is spawned or destroyed a cool down begins on your vehicle which means it cannot be spawned again until the timer counts down.

Mmmmmm aren't they balanced off of the PC side changes after the two years its been out? Or do they have their own balance on the PS4?

no it's supposed to be a straight port that might lack a few PC details until further updates except the UI is streamlined for console or so i read

That's the point behind max suits which is why they are resource heavy. There draw back is they can't cap points and get squished by amour and AV easily.
I would imagen the ps4 communty has simply not worked out how to deal with maxes yet. Light inf with c4 will make short work of a max

yea if it's anything like PS1 infantry has it's uses in complexes but doesn't do great in the open tho i used to have cybernetic legs for running around out doors. maxes outside of a stairway fight would get flanked in complexes without support, it's going to be a transition for most console players hell bent on running infantry in the open. they are simply forced to use transports the beauty is with that many players there will be those who fill transport roles.. i was super badass sunderer driver back then i always had a full bus.. it's not like dust where transport role gets frowned upon for wasting a slot. the role was actually appreciated

BS, MAX suits are role specific. Get too far away from a spawn point (Sunderer or complex) and you cannot change your load out. Get too far from a supporting engineer and run out of ammo or just get ganked by two close quarter solders.
I have been in battles with four to five hundred players and MAX units are in the minority. Every now and then you will see a combined squad that are working together. Which make great targets for C4, fighters with any type of rockets. Bam, dead MAX units everywhere you look. A decent sniper can drive one back pretty quickly. Four solid sniper shots and he is under cover.
The best thing is they are fast. None of this running like a slug of a Heavy. For that matter my normal suits can Run across the entire continent without stopping. Why you would I have no idea but I have run over a kilometer to another battle. And I was in a group of twenty others all eager to get into the next fight.
MAX units have significant limitations. You are merely running around with players that don't know them.
C4 will stop any MAX suit of any race. And there is nothing a MAX player can do against it. Nothing.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

I have a few friends on the PS4 Beta. I play on the PC. There are several items that will be true to both.
First you get to choose a server to place your solder on. You have three slots for free for characters. When I started I just put one in US west, US east and EU. From the western US the EU is not really very good. But I can play as a medic or engineer just fine. So I figure I can support my EU friends. One friend from London had little difficulty playing on US east server and the same was true for me.
Second the Devs are stating that there will be a lag between the PC and the PS4 server versions. But not by much. A few weeks, because of the Sony PS4 testing requirements I think. The PC solution is easier to correct a bad patch. They also stated that you could move your characters between the PC and the PS4 servers. There was no planned cross platform play.
For a F2P game it is pretty sweet. For a FPS it is also pretty sweet. The different factions are focused on very different goals and technologies. Check in with your friends and see where they are going to join in. I wouldn't recommend US west to EU, unless you don't mind sticking to support roles. Good news is they just added automatic anti-personnel turrets. Drop and forget.
And the worst piece of news is I don't have a PS4. Oh well, the PC version is nice even if most of my friends (and all of my MMO friends) are on Sony gear. But in the meantime my characters are improving and I will move at least some of them when I finally get a PS4. I put it on my wish list but kids these days, what can I say? Santa wasn't very forthcoming.

The addition of resources made the game so much better! I don't understand why they weren't there in the first place like on PC...
Maxes are now as common as MBTs, and don't make up Gàô of the entire game anymore. That crap was annoying as hell, and the flat-MAX bug made it even worse.
I'm actually enjoying the balance resources provide more than all the stuff they unlocked for purchase.
