I wonder if CCP has noticed a dip in logins since the PS2 closed beta started. bro i was coming here to try and distract myself from the fact i dont have a beta code.. this thread is very depressing.. the guy at walmart congrats me on being the proud new owner of a playstations 4 but i'm the sad new owner of a playstation 4.. have you seen the crap currently out when they are porting mobile to console you know things are bleak for the industry..
i have no desire to play dust anymore.. my friends all left and the nerf/buff endless cycle and having a timer on my sandbox shooter match i can no longer stand.. this is the darkest hour of gaming for me.. i hate ******* SOE at the moment my 10's of 1000's of hours in their crappy MMOs and no beta code for PS2.. i am at a complete state of gaming burnout and only planetside 2 holds any interest for me but i'm still suffering from video game withdrawl despite having no interest to turn on the PS3 or 4.. it's a really messed up symptom..

it's by far the perfect game.. it is really good for some tho. in planetside 1 you could actually win the whole continent and the loosers would have to regroup at their sanctuary, if i understand that's been removed i'm assuming for streamlining reasons.. the regrouping was fun tho and usually involved a fleet of escorted dropships forming up.. for the player who just seeks big FPS battle that's accessible it's perfect but for those seeking a deeper meaning it's not so great. you can always screw around, race, duel with your friends in between battles nothing beats the feel of free roam. the timer on FPS matches is really annoying me lately.

i'm having a blast flying the galaxy. it flies like a injured whale but dam those things are tuff.. it's so strange not having to fly in a box and not worry about SL.. me and this random gunner kept one alive for about an hour before server maintenance went down.. he shot down all kinds of fighters chasing us.. you actually get rewarded good points for flying.. i'm trying to unlock the 60mm turret.. it get's really fun when the galaxy fills up.
i thought the aim and controls were very smooth.. it feels like battlefield and the Terran Republic weapons feel like BF weps.. the jetpack is awesome.. i seen regynum running TR.
the point of the missions i think is your getting bonus points.. PS has always been about farming kills to unlock stuff. there's moments of pure WTF tho that is worth the redundancy.. the air game is awesome for any dust pilot wondering, it's kinda as hard as dust but it's not hard to hover.. theres things from dust that transfer over like you use terrain and buildings for cover.. dust pilots already have an eye for safe spots to bail to and understand contour flying..
the other thing that is a huuuuge monkey off a pilots back is there's no null cannon missiles, RDVs, and there's no automated large turrets.. after getting the hang of the controls flying the galaxy became easy mode compared to dust. once i get the 60mm turret the farm is on. |

Its odd how much a difference those goals make, at least for me.
I play differently (or at least should if I don't always) in each game mode depending on what that is and how the match plays out.
Maybe its because I am so new to PS2, but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. It tells me to attack a base, and I go there and kill some people, but I don't know what the objective is other than that. What constitutes a captured base?
Same with defending. I kept hearing how our generators were destroyed, but had zero idea where they were, how to defend them, if it was possible to fix them etc.
I just felt directionless.
i kinda feel the same way but i know within time the complexes will begin to feel familiar to me.. there are like computer terminal that you stand near to cap and you get xp.. some of the fights in the complex are totally remeniscent of mag.. i saw the NC do an infantry charge of like 30 over a bridge as I fumbled to man an engineer turret.. another time i took out 4 sunderers and a tank try to crest a hill with a stationary phalanx turret firing HE.. us TR sorta got "redlined" by the VS last night.. we were pushed to the edge of the map couldn't even fly out of the warp gate far.. it ended tho and TR bounced back somehow.. right now i'm just concerned about getting my galaxy beefed up but the valkrie is really fun it almost feels like a dust dropship AND infantry can fire there weapons from it. today my squads have been stupid tho and really hard to pick up. doesn't help that i cant seem to get comms to consistently |

XANDER KAG wrote:So, how bad is the friendly forces walking into your line of fire? from my observation not too bad at all on the TR side.. the constant FF trains ppl to play right.. if you kill too many friendlies in a certain block of time your weapons will be locked.. i fired down another TR who teamkilled my squaddie and was not locked out.. iirc in planetside 1 you could kill about 3 friendlies per hour, or do that amount of friendly damage before being locked. the locking out would last about half an hour.. not sure about PS2 because I haven't been locked out yet.. i've also killed fellow TR by accident because the light purple and red color labels look almost the same to me or i just was blind with panic.. you see a lot of fresh noobs killing fellow TR because we're always red even to each other.. except our squaddies are green. |

TerranKnight87 wrote:Oh yeah another issue you will end up facing is people who care about their k/d.
These people will sit in a base in the hundreds while its getting capped and will just try to score kills from inside the base from behind the force fields. They wil do this knowing that in roughly 2 mins tops, the enemy are going to come storming through every door in the base and kill everyone in there but they don't care so long as they can get a few free kills nice and safe and pad teir k/d. Rather than all keep storming the objectives to uncap and defend the base, they do that instead.
Defo join or make an outfit guys soo you don't have to deal with any of 'The Zergs' bs.
There are different kinds of bases that are generally capped certain ways and people need to know what their role will do best depending on the base. I cba to go into that anyway.
I'd suggest you all run medic or engineer to farm certs for what you want. 'The zerg' is good for farming certs and you can repair and resupply the k/d padding maxes in bases and repair turrets for certs as well.
Trust me the game changes when you join a decent outfit but i think the quality of play on the ps4 won't really pick up for about a year, maybe a bit less until people know exactly what they are doing and know how to play the classes properly. The more people care about their k/d though the more arsrped your faction will get in general.
yea this rampant farming of kills is going on mostly right now because we're not organized on the beta.. the comms do not seem to be always working right and your automatically squadded with randoms.. last night my random squad was all letting me transport them with the galaxy so i added them all to friends.. that was the first step in organization.. now we need someone that is more sober than me to give the bigger orders..
i think in time these FCs will step up.. right now tho it's mostly just a massive zerg. i think most players are hungry for leadership, they want to take good orders but the easiest option right now really is to zerg.. it helps tho to have a lot of gun game skill to lead the troops from the front.. my gun game has corroded over he last couple of years..
my main concern is getting that polished.. strangely my air game takes little to no maintenance to stay sharp. my galaxy transport ship is badass i got the passive repair and bulldog 60mm turret.. i'm going to upgrade the MGs on it soon.. i seem to be the only one contour flying the galaxy right now. my average cruising altitude is like 15m.. the Valkrie is so badass also.. can't wait to level that up. we were dogfighting with it.. it's like an ADS except it's single nose turret requires a gunner. |

nah bro i wasnt feeling patronized at all.. when i cant play PS2 i like to read and write about it.. i totally get what your saying about flying the gal at proper angles which dust has already taught me to do.. because i'm looking at my gunners angle of his gun i adjust course if he is straining to turn the gun.. that %10 sounds really awesome..
i was feeling really bummed at last night because my sqaud was total trash just 12 guys scattered like salt and pepper thrown on a plate.. i lost many gals and valkries trying to pick them up, no one was on comms and they fking idiots.. they we running to the next complex and just being noobs in general....
i tried for hours to pick troops up and without comms or any sort of order it was pretty fail. the other factions seemed like they were co oping.. i can already land the gal and valkrie right in the middle of a complex, if i was actually working with MAXes on comms we could have done something besides loose ships that i would over extend trying to hard to pick up randoms..
the comms are sht right now and dont make any sense at all.. sometimes they randomly "work" but the channel is usually random.. compound that with the fact that out of 12 random ppl you usually get a mouth breather, a baby crying and dog barking but not a single tactic ran all day except some guy in a whiny voice saying "come on guys fight hard and defend the base".. that was his only "command" |

You will have to deal with that for a while i think but when it goes live then more pc vets will join and organise stuff more and more people will know what they are doing by then. The zerg always follows the missions as you have probably seen. The general rule of thumb is that you farm the zerg for certs and then when you get in or create a decent outfit then you can do the more operational stuff that actually makes an impact. It's defo going to take a while for the quality of play on the ps4 to pick up. You might be better off hot dropping people on objectives and then flying to the bases behind the ones being defended or getting attacked that TR, picking up more and doing it over and over until things get better. You will love it when you have wing men with you as well and 3 gals with walkers is like a flying fortress all on its own with the bulldogs smashing ground forces.
like 3 days ago i somehow got a random bunch of gunners who were shooting down 3 reavers trying to attack us and he also shot down a couple from my valkire.. i try to make a pass to nearby bases to see if any stragglers need a ride to the front, hoping to pick up a bulldog gunner.. but most of the time they're too noob to switch turrets so the bulldog remains empty... it really gets furstrating but i know it will be way easier once we are on comms and working together.. i wont have to guess as much for a safe spot to land or try so hard to get them to notice me. i lowered my sensitivity and my gun games slowly coming back.. the trac 5 bucks like a mule so i stopped trying to use it at range.. it's funny i kill NC pretty easily but seem to have trouble vs VS |

oh man im so raging.. there is a C point small building in the corner of the complex were capping.. 100m from that is an easy run from the sunderer across a bridge and instead gaining defense points they are running around like wild chickens, some are just camping by that sunderer instead of crossing the bridge to defend the point that the NC is lightly interested in.. I've been defending this point for like 30 minutes but even our maxes are retrded and running around outside of the point and everyone is just running in circles. the point is just a square building with 3 entrances, i can only guard 2.. it is seriously full retrd mode right now. |

All you have to do to do well as a leader in ps2 in to think a bit more 3 dimensionally than just attacking one base at once and head on at that. Not that i think that's how you think but quite clearly you don't. Let's say you're attacking a base and it's one with power generators. Ideally you want a gal with say 6 engis to hot drop with ha escort onto each generator. You want another gal willed with ha's, light assaults, medics and maxes for combat troops (fodder basically) to drop into the base. You want 2 sunderers to sit outside with a prowler each for escort, some harrassers to draw fire and maybe some air support as well. Sticking a squad of infis in somehwere is always good as well. That kind of stuff. Or maybe you want to go a bit further and attack two bases at once?. Maybe you can do what i had the pleasure of doing once where you have two lots of 40 people attacking on two different continents if you feel like challenging yourself but that requires a sht load of communication lol. Being a good leader in ps2 as well requires you look at the map often to check on numbers and where they are moving and mozzy or valk pilots as recon for intel are great as well, 4 engis in a valk repping it is really good for that. When it goes live and if you decide to make an outfit, you'll get the numbers then but right now it's closed beta so you're kind of stuck with what there is, no choice really. :( nah i'm more of a squad leader instead of a general.. i can recognize key locations and flanking routes within my immediate area but i will leave those bigger commands to someone else until i have enough experience and network but i dont see that happening for a while to be that guy.. if i try to be a general too early i will just end up looking like a fool.
so you are saying the Valkrie is worth to cert into? I was wondering about that because i really enjoy flying it but someone said on youtube that it sucked. |

And despite what slanderous rumours were being monged up above about the Vanu "Purple Swag" > Whiny TR anyday! Pc masterrace> console peasant opinion. All the leet mlg wannabe kids play vs because it's all ease of use and their purple blends in with the night battles. Nc enjoy tking all the time and tend to get mad and kill eachother over trivial things. I'm on the same page as you. **** consoles. PC does it all better and I want a good one! But I hear it might be cheaper to get the good sent out from the US and build them up over here in NZ. Only reasons I'm Vanu are FUCKIN' PURPLE BRO! and Hover Tanks! Only ESL stuff I watch is CS:GO. I know but you're siding with the trash and it's sad lol. The trend might be different on ps4 though. from what i've seen the VS has been the goto class for cloaking teabaggers.. my name here is just a joke a only teabagged one guy in dust because he had a major hard on for me on the forums. i was a proponent of vehicles in closed beta and he wanted them removed so he would stalk all my posts with childish stuff about my gun game and then i owned him in a total 1 vs 1.. |

so i'm a little concerened because on the PS forums their saying TR is the goto for the zergs and is out numbering everyone but i can't stomach the thought of switch to NC which from my observation their teamwork is abysmal (they always try to cap a point with 1 and 2) and going vanu is just out of the question. i really do not like them or purple and they all seem to be cloakers. i originally expected TR to be the minority due to the coolness of lasers and the fact that NC are rebels but it seems the case is their the most popular choice for whatever reason. i also enjoy the lawful/evil theme of the TR for what little RP is in me. but with many PVP games this crap always happens that the noobs research which team has a better/successful pop and then all flock to it. |

nah the aim assist is weaker than both dust and battlefield.. i was really worried about that but it's barely noticiable if at all.
what's really fckng retrded is SOE sent me 3 planetside 2 adds to each 3 mails i signed up with, with no code just a link to their website where you sign up at.. i signed up in december and they have the nerve to send me that sht to each mail i signed up with. |

i just watched the ESF turning tutorial which is nothing like anything i would have expected.. banking the opposite way of the turn and reverse thrusting plus yawing in the direction of turn. i've given up flying as of now because the counter measures and fire suppression does not currently work.. i'm working on my harasser now having a "blast" with it's bulldog turret and hopefully when i unlock Trac 5 S there will be the underslung nade launcher available. the fore grip has made a big difference for the better on the trac 5 and the 2x reflex sight is pretty cool. i tried the 3.75x sight but swicthed back to the 2x. i can carry 2 claymores now which net some really easy kills and allow me to rack up more defense points. engineer is a pretty fun class but all classes have cool stuff.

i dont recommend to any of you flying right now because counter measures and fire suppression is not working and those are 2 very important upgrades.. i should have went straight liberator (bomber) instead of galaxy but i hear the afterburner on the lib is also broken right now
also the underbarrel grenade launcher is not working so dont spend 600 on that. the gun it attaches to is a downgrade from the default and your stuck with a broken nade launcher/crappy gun. not sure if the UB shotgun and smoke is working but i;m assuming it's not.
The harasser with 60mm bulldog turret has been really fun for both solo and duo with 1 guy riding in the truckbed and able to fire his personal weapon from that seat.. Its like a LAV with a mass driver turret, passive repair and smoke screen is working. The puff of black smoke has gotten me out of a few jams and looks pretty cool. imagine equipping a thermal scope and then using the smoke offensively but it only lasts for 6 seconds. |

i joined a beta outfit but they kinda dissed my galaxy despite the fact that it gets to the next fight in more than half the time it took them to drive there. also i could sometimes land it within 5-20 meters of the cap point and their sunderer spawns are usually 150+ meters away because they can't drive into where the galaxy can land at due to defense walls around the base.
they said: "we understand you'r from dust and we hear that it's all about dropships ferrying troops in and out of battle in that game but this is not dust it is Planetside and it's kind of different, the galaxy does not currently serve a solid role"... they're saying this as i'm watching their maxes run off over the horizon to the next fight.
I actually made twice the amount of certs flying galaxy and running solo than i do with this outfit I joined. The leader said he was a planetside 1 vet but from what i recall from that game we used galaxies like 60% of the time. what happened with planetside 2 or are these guys just idiots?
fk it i'm certing up a lib now anyway it's easier to find 2 console gunners than it is to try and find 14 console retrds who would rather run to their next fight. i currently have little hope for that community unless the PC vets step in soon. |

thanks for the invite i will definately consider joining you on NC .. i'm not trying to be the leader just play my part of a machine that's more than driving sunds to base for the next zerg.. i also get out of the gal and help cap unless there's enemy aircraft i switch to top turret. we were doing a dust style rotation the other night, fly in drop a few 60mm, and fly out of range of AA, rinse, repeat, with ppl spawning in to hotdrop over contested base, all random. there was just enough resistance for us to handle and i got 5 kills from air braking and the ESF would crash into us destroying him. my gunners shot down just as many but other flights haven't been so lucky but that hour i got like almost 100 certs from transport assist, vehicle kill assists, and some caps you can park the Gal on top of and get defense points without exiting and the bulldogger is focused on the enemy spawn room giving us more kills.. definately have plans to unlock the 105mm on the lib also i should have focused my certs there first... i have the bulldog and passive rep but still need AB and 105mm |

Found out I won't be able to participate until the SCEE beta rolls around some **** like that. it is fun but also know that it is not as fun as it should be with all the crashes and low server pop is only at 25% so you're not missing a whole lot yet. there are some epic fights but i would say those equal about 2 hours of the 6 hours the server is up for.. the rest of the time it's been like a normal 16 vs 16 game or late at night before server maintenance it's mostly an hour of soft capping unoppsed bases and exploits like your infantry being OHKed by what's essentially a heavy wielding an AA weapon is annoying AF.. also guided air to air missles with broken decoys and on board fire supression not working sucks.. also the in game comms do not work with any consistency and it's pretty blueberried out right now. |

yea it definitely had some soul ripped from planetside 1 with the removal of ANT and how the nanites used to work was pretty hardcore. i can understand why they did 2 like they have because it's the trend with all gaming to streamline at the sacrifice of the heart of the game in favor of more accessible action.
also in planetside 1 there weren't really classes it was more like dust with an inventory like ultima online where you fit things into a backpack. the inventory system created more flexible and customized character choices. like iirc you could fit an entire weapon into your backpack while carrying a main and a sidearm, if you wanted to switch weps you just packed one into backpack at the sacrifice of space for extra ammo or grenades or you could have a medkit and rep tool packed.
i've been kinda bummed with the beta population lately the most you get is like 50 vs 50 for maybe an hour the rest of the time it's like 12 vs 12.. it's getting kinda boring because the main thing it has going for it is massive battle that doesn't last long because no one is really playing the objective just zerging and going 1.0 KDR, if no one is capping or defending the base flips in like 3 minutes then it's several minutes of downtime in the battle because they move to the next base to fight there for another 3 minutes with about 5 minutes of lull in between each. |

really happy with the valkryrie right now, the VLG missile OHK on troops, unlocked the mobile spawn point, gunner r4ped a bunch of infantry before server maintenance. was being repped internally by 2 engineers, the upgraded air frame was also keeping us alive- bugging out just in time. hope they fix my fire suppresion soon.. i'm curious what a fully speced out valk can do, but oh that Liberator..
it's not every day a squad is impressed by valkryrie, i had good support tho both on ground and air, the planets were aligned for that flight, only server maintenance could bring us down. |

yea i'm assuming the ant system removed to dumbdown/streamline the action so the casuals won't QQ.. still a great FPS minus some of it's soul... burster AA is bugged right now and kills everything.. i think the reason for low pop is the burster makes everyone rage quit. lock on air to air missiles with broken counter measures and broken fire suppression doesnt help either.. i signed up the first week of december still no code, thanks to fizzer i got a code.
but yea atm 1-12 allies/1-12 enemies shown mostly at the spawns.. with a moment of 12-24s.. no ones missing anything really except a travel time in between 12 vs 12 fights.. |

Get 2 engis with maxed out flak armour and two HA's with the same with lock on launchers, your gunner and you and then you have a mini flying fortress lol. The engis need maxed repair guns though for anything serious.
our "infantry division commander" suddenly becomes the new valk pilot, needless to say that flight lasted about 90 seconds.. |

i dont think the EU codes have been sent out yet until tommorow.. i still have not received mine i signed up for in december.. if you got a code from someone else then your screwed because they are sending a new code to that original email for the new patch. so you need a whole new code to DL it.. |

yea i signed up 3 different times in december in USA still no code.. i got one from someone else but in order to play the new build it requires a whole new code to download. yea real fkng sht system.. ppl begging/buying codes i'm sure SOE is loving the drama of it all.. i'm trying to just forget about it completely but i really dont feel like going out and buying hardline, i think i spent 20 hours total with BF 3 and 4.. |

also i have no shame in begging for a code :P no i wasn't pointing you out with that statement i will also beg but it's just stupid because last i played it was extremely underpopulated.. idk wtf their trying to limit the server to.. i'm like i've seen bigger battles in dust.. it just sux because my gun game was getting sharp again and that goes back to crap after a dormaint week or 2.. and then it takes me another week or 2 to get it back.. i dont want to tarnish that any by playing dust which we all know is very bad for your over all gun game outside of dust.
well today at work i was just moody because i didn't have my fill of FPS blood for the past few days... thanks for the headsup on hardline, i kinda figured as much.. my coworker was trying to talk me into it but he refuses to play PS2 last month despite i wasted a code on him. and he plays advance warfare much so yea it kinda all makes sense now.. i will not be buying hardline for $70 as i've been let down by that franchise after bad company 2. |

I'm a patient guy but i am actually getting impatient with this lol. welcome to the club. i have to give up for my sanity.. it's back to war thunder and helldivers for me.. i'm done for now camping my emails. i keep getting crap from SWTOR, (which i've never signed up for) EVE and SOE advertisements for planetside 2... it's just a big sick joke. my gun game was coming back in beta 1 now it's going to sht again..if i dont shoot at least every 3 days.. ppl playing the beta are complaining that the server is empty.. |

another good one on indar.. but dam hossin is beautiful i wish ppl would play there.. i landed a valkrie in a 50m high tree and got out and walked around in it, perfect for a sniper.
that would be kinda interesting to see wildlife running around and get mixed up sometimes in the battle, or an apelike indigenous population/unfortunate casualties of war. i can sure hear them squawking and groaning on Hossin but i do not see them. i'm loaded for bear. |

your not missing crap on the US side.. i just keep making new alts to play in Kotlyr, there's no pop outside of it.. i guess the 3 main outfits schedule themselves to battle each other on indar but if i wanted that kind of planning where i fight against/with the same elitists every day who always have early bedtimes i would have signed up for planetary conquest in dust. i actually went out and bought hardline which i haven't even forced my self to play. this PS2 beta currently has no appeal without a population. i can't sell the idea to anyone i know when they log out because the huge battle they hear about is 1-12 vs 1-12 |

I tried getting off of it once, and couldn't figure out how. Heck, if I sign on early, it is really hard to find a fight. At least one time I took a base all on my lonesome, with no one even trying to get it back for several minutes. if you want to go back to Kotlyr, and the reason for that is because it usually has some kind of "battle" albeit noobs, you have to be below level 15 and use the terminal at the warpgate that has globes on it. |
