is this game actually in a state to be played? all i keep seeing on it is either someone saying its the best thing since man found fire and sex.. to it being the biggest piece of trash since the trashcan. 

how is the cheating currently? has that dropped at all or is it just going to be like APBR where its a hit and miss some days you get cheaters other days you dont ?? :/ 

 

i thought about trying it but i get tired of every fps iv tried that is freedium to any extent being a cheatbox. i got enough of that from CS1.6 and combat arms to kill the cosmos...

The game is more than playable - it just needs tweaked here and there, a few things added, and they really need to crack down on the hackers.  I do not think Smedley and his team and doing a good a job at getting rid of hackers as they say they are because I keep seeing and reporting the same ones(so does everyone else).   All in all for a free game - it cannot be beat.   It is an absolute blast just to get in and mix it up.  

Tonight we had a huge and I mean huge infantry battle going on at the Crossroads.  NC trapped bewtween the TR and Vanu.   It was total chaos.  We'd push the Vanu back on one side, then switch and push the TR back on the other.   That kept us busy for half the night.   A whole lot of fun.    :)

Triple Station Cash is live right now at the SOE store for Planetside 2.   Get it while the getting is good!   See you all in game.

Why does CCP have to hold back on tech just because they have customers that are too damn cheap to upgrade?  Did you see what he said, most of the players have out dated gaming rigs and over half still use Windows XP.    

Grow up.

 

Some people can't afford any better. The game graphics are fine as they are.

Spoilt brat.

LOL - spoiled brat?   Why because I don't spend money on daily cheese burgers and would rather take that money and get a decent gaming CPU, memory and graphic card that would cost a grand total of maybe - maybe $200.    It doesn't cost that much money to upgrade.  If you think it does - you just don't won't to do it.  

Just read one of the threads over at EVE official forums and a player asked why the game has not seen the use of tessalation that CCP said they would eagerly add to the game.    The response from the developer pretty much told me what I all ready knew.     Instead of writing out the discussion here, I'll just link it for you and you can go check it out yourself. 

Why tessalation will not be coming to EVE any time soon.  <<<  read the forum thread.

I really do not see this lack of big battles being a problem in PS2.   I never "not" seem to find a big battle - especially on Indar.   The fight for the Crossroads area is never ending - so when I want a huge battle I just go there.  :)

Play the game at launch, every server either high or pop locked, every cont packed and just massive battles everywhere and at every time. Now every server is low/medium apart from one or two that are high during a few hour period a day :\

My server was Medium during peak time and every faction was on their own cont dominating in a zerg ignoring each other with large fights in the odd occasion, however no one defends so it is pointless. The problem is too 90% of the day there is no one on, cause everyone is so spread out you only get good fights during the peak time of the day. Planetside suffered from this too, basically you can only play in the late afternoons and the evenings. 

No different than when PS1 released, and PS1 had twice as many continents.    MMOFPS is not everyones cup of tea.  You are either a fan of this type of game play or you're not.   I think, PS is a lot like EVE, in that it will never be a game that has 10 million players.   It's a niche game.

I think the score is a little high myself.   The first Planetside was better.   We had water in the game.   We had a few more V commands like /salute.    There were parts of bases underground that had narrow corridors that made for some fierce fire fights.   Bases at least had walls defenders could get behind and use as defensive postions to fight from.   The inability of special ops to make an impact in game by going in and back-hacking and starting a new front doesn't work in PS2 they way it did in PS1.   Don't get me wrong PS2 is fun for the most part, but PS2 is no PS1.    I think PS2 has a lot more that needs to be done to make it a more polished game overall.    Lack of pop control is hurting the game.    Right now there is no real strategic game play in PS2 - it's all about the "zerg".   If I were to score PS2 I'd give it a 7.5 to maybe a 7.8  out of 10.  

Right now PS2 is just a good FPS shooter  MMO.    They really need to add more strategic game play elements to the game and add some fuana.   Yes - I said fauna.   The continents are lifeless barren areas.   I do not care what they add, but they should add some creatures, just to give life to the barren waste of the continents.  There is room for SOE to step up to the plate and make the game better - but that depends on SOE.  I would like to see new variations(designs) for tanks and aircraft as well.   Add new faction based designs.  Love to see faction based gunships.    How about a new levitating type Sunderer for the Vanu?  

Game just needs fleshed out.   It doesn't seem anywhere near the finished state in my opinion.  Good but needs work.
