Yeah, not sure what you guys are thinking with the kill cam, that's a real downer. Please do not bring in a Kill Cam. If you truly are listening, read the opinion of the masses. NO KILL CAM.
did anyone think it might just be personal kill cams? for personal video's and replay's? in other words a kill cam that doesnt show to your victim, but only you that you can share later
I can see it now ... a heavily enforced base filled with MAX units, Mosquitoes,wasps, reavens troops, and tanks AND THEN Over the Horizen 12 Sunder's ALL Blowing La couca la racha from their horns as they charge right into the base dropping off a minimal of 4 troops each! Dear god help us all!
While I think it sucks. I have no issue with BR1-10 or something similar, to use a analogy from Ps1, to have it to ease new guys into the experience of a MMOFPS. Once you become a Vet, it should be removed because Vets will always game the system in any way they can and in that with TS and so on it will become a issue.
On the MBT I think its a wiser decision to make the driver control the secondary gun rather than the main.With module commander gun the driver can choose what role he wants to play.Driver AA system, Driver Mortar (indirect AI) or Driver AI machine gun for example.
Having the driver control the main weapon destroyed the teamwork and removes what makes tanks fun for many tank fans.
With a 360 commander turret he can also call out targets via a right click to give main target.(Icon+voice message)
I and my peers called the ATV the Gaybike (fabulousbike). Only used by strange people. Its a bike with 4 wheels...you need 4? Yet people used it to drive without any defenses into battle. Your a wimp and brave at the same time, gaybike.
Rather have a tank that can do shit and need more than one rather than a 1man balanced tank that is useless and only makes the game be more "rexo" only thing since tanks will be to weak I am saying this as a person that enjoy tank games and the PS1 Vanguard back in the day.
I don't want to sound negative or anything but; given it's from SOE, why is there always bad sound, video or a lag problem? I know it's a webcast, but if they're recording it live there's no reason they can't release the one they are actually recording rather than the one that's being streamed out.
Kinda drives me nuts to ponder the end of the ams. Driving an ams around a somewhat hidden spot around some tight spot with lots of trees was essential for gameplay in planetside. I just imagine the uptake in skyguards and other AA to prevent the forward movement of spawns to be radical. In summation, a ground version of forward spawns is essential. The game needs an AMS, people want lots of vehicle options, vehicle clutter is awesome.
No thank you killcam. ATV. I'd radically prefer game mechanics and general functionality shine (no bugs) were focused on than hood ornaments and decals. I promise you this, they might be drawn in by looks, but they stay for the gameplay/functionality. A liberator that shoots bombs directionality would be insanely destructive to the balance of a bomber, yikes.
2) An orbital strike SHOULD be able to one shot a galaxy, it's a orbital strike for christ sake. Make it cost a LOT of resources and have a fairly long recharge time (30 mins or so). These recharge time should be separated per continent and per faction.
KIll cams are for arcade shooters. You will ruin the strategic value of positioning if you allow the player to know exactly where a shot came from and I'm pretty sure Planetside did not not garner its popularity from the arcade appeal that kill cams are guaranteed to create.
@XPK36 OH NO, PLANETSIDE 2 ISN'T THE EXACT SAME GAME AS PLANETSIDE 1! ZOMG. A kill cam isnt going to turn Planetside into a BF3 clone. The driver shooting tank isnt either. Team work is still going to be the most powerful force in this game.
@EAUS1 The kill cam will reveal the killer's position. Scroll around to see all the posts saying it's a bad idea for PS2. Note the number of likes for the posts saying it.
Having the driver fire the main gun is also a bad idea for PS2. It reduces incentive for waiting for a gunner. In the real world the driver of a tank is not aiming the main gun. Not to ruin his fun, but so he can focus on driving and the gunner can focus on aiming. Same goes for *most* combat aircraft.
Yea... my heart kinda sank when I heard him say kill cams. I think kill cams were the worst idea ever to come to any strategy or tactical games. Whats the point in finding a good tactical position if the first person you kill is going to see it with the kill cam and then make it a point to come and kill you. Most annoying thing ever on modern warfare... snipe someone from afar, they watch kill cam, immediately spawn, launch a noob tube across the map and get a kill more than half the time.
See, I like that they will debate even such simple things like, name it quad or ATV? That's the kind of attitude that produces very very detailed work. I am excited!
personally I'm against Killcams in any format. I won't mind so long as there is an option to make it where you never see a killcam, and maybe make it where nobody will see a killcam if you kill them. Having to skip the killcam every time I die will get annoying. The cam is one of the reason I don't play cod.
@Tonvir999 whats the big deal? In CoD you simply hit the "Enter" key and you bypass the killcam and respawn. Killcam is useful for reviewing what you did wrong and it can *possibly* show if someone is hacking.
@Tonvir999 Killcams kinda kill tactics as well. If some guy has found a really nice place with good cover where he can pick off enemies, killcam totally messes up that advantage. Killcam really doesn't add anything to gameplay.. Do not like.
I don't give a damn what anyone says, that guy was nervous as fuck and never missed a beat. That is hella courage and FAR more than I could provide. Good job and fucking massive kudos.
Great episode and very informative.
Big purple skulls for hood ornaments are awesome :)
first comment from a PS1 Vet from Beta version 1....when do we get beta invites....and why the hell has the marketing not fully kicked in yet? you know PS1 died due to lack of marketing guys so please start to spam out the mags and do not let ps2 go the same way! GW2 is sooo over hyped its unreal next to ps!
@avfx To be honest, I think I know what they are shooting for. Breaking the world record for most players in a FPS will be a massive and free marketing tactic, and they will break it "1000 player fps is trying to break it now" From the info we have, the continents are 8 kilometers large. That suggests that its a 1000 vs 1000 vs 1000 battle, or even more. Likely even more. They will probably have marketing in play later. It is F2P
