I would love to see heavy duststorms/snowstorms rain, fog, low clouds.I understand some people might be pissed off, but would not be fun if during a battle an heavy fog start to creep out making visibility a problem? or losing air support due an heavy storm, with burst of lightning that might impair visibility.

I don't say it should happen everytime but say.. a 20% possibility of adverse weather condition might put another layer to a battle.

This, too!  ^^^   This would be awesome.

I want to see a massive orbital station that we can fight for - the faction that controls it can use it for orbital strikes.   I'd like to see more weapons variations options for engineers.   The mobile AI turret is fine, but I'd like to see a mobile AA(anti-aircraft) version and a mobile anti-tank version.   AMS version of the Galaxy.    Like to see continents that are not all square in shape.   Also like to see more ground cover for infantry to hide behind.    Also, would like to see AA guns that can swivle straight up on Sunderers.   Would like to see more utility options put into the Sunderer.   

Give me a day and I could come up with many things I'd love to see add.    :)   

Oh and give us the V command to salute.  We had it in PS and I miss that in PS2.  :)

There is one good thing that came from AC2.    The creation of the Tumerok race and lore.   No game before or since has ever created something so cool.    That is the one and only thing I think I miss from AC2.   The uniqueness of this whole race in the game, from the looks to the lore, has never been duplicated in such a manner in any game.    Just awesome.

I find NC the best faction to play and get the most kills with them.. i really dont get peoples issues..

 

then again people complain that the flying is really hard in PS2 lol..

So you mainly play a pilot.  I am not discussing aircraft easy kill rocket pod spam jockeys.   We're talking combat arms weapons mostly.   It doesn't take that much skill to fly around spamming rockets.

P.S.  Devs have acknowledged in the forums that NC does infact suck though.  Vanu have no bullet drop.  TR have fast reloads.  NC is supposed to be slow and powerful but it kinda fails.

P.P.S.  2 NC medic gold medal guns.  Woot woot!  :-)

I just came from the main forum boards, two of the top post were about this very issue.    People leaving NC and TR to play Vanu, and weapons imbalance - yes, Planetside is balanced and has no issues.   ::rolls her eyes::

Three things make PS aerial combat awesome.

1. barrel roll
2. emmelman
3. split s

Seriously...did SOE do any balancing regarding the weapons - especially the rifles and pistols.   I say this becuase playing NC in Planetside 2 is frustrating when your bullets go all over the fricking place no matter how in control you are.  Even with the forward grip cert - there is little change to CoF for NC weapons.  The recoil is horrendous.    

I just want to say, that I did an experiment.    I have now played all three factions in this game and as I see it, the majority of NC weapons are crap.  Plain and simple.    I created a Vanu character and a TR character to see the differences.   Vanu hands down have the best over all weapons in the game.   That includes main battle tank - practically zero drop in rounds as the fly to target - it's like using a laser it is almost that accurate - and at a distance - it beats any of the the other two factions main battle tanks.    

Going back to combat arms.   I started PS2 playing NC.   I noticed that the NC whenever they went against Vanu or TR, even if we out numbered them, we had a hard time taking ground.    It's becuase the Vanu and TR have superior fire power.   I would rate them like this.

1. Vanu
2. TR
3. other
4. NC

I have no interest in free to play games whatsoever. Glad the genre is going there since it gives me lots more time IRL.

PS1 vet out

Kane, 1100 hours playing WoW...rofl

Wait...this is not true.  PS2 might have it's issues, but pay to win is not one of them.
