Are scopes and attachment bound to each weapon or once you unlock one u can attach it to any weapon you unlock in future? also howthe hell we get grenades? it's consumable and need to pay cert to get ones ?
Any EU players on Ceres?
I tried the game yesterday, and damn, was I overwhelmed by it. Made my character, chose server and BAM, I was in the middle of huge war. Is that an enemy next to me, I think it's shooting me, oh god, why is my mouse so fast, and the I died.
Then I tried to play medic, as that seemed mighty useful. I then immediately died, from vehicle spawning on top of me, I think. lots of corpses next to me, too. I then wandered outside, seeing as the big fight was still going on. Saw a few dead guys and tried to res them with that medic healing thing. I think I was ressing that 1 guy for like a minute, wondering how long does it take to get him up again. Then I tried it on some other guys, and saw it doesn't take very long, silly me. :P
Anyway, after shooting some bad guys and healing friendlies for some time, I ran out of ammo, wondering where to get some more. After wandering for a while, searching for it, I gave up, and went back to WoW. I'll definately give it another go, but damn, the game doesn't try to explain what the hell is going on at all. Some quick tutorial you can play through would be MUCH appreciated. What is this building, roles, etc.
Watched some of those videos that I saw while installing, but they explained only so much.

This is probably the biggest problem the game has atm.
There is an awful lot to learn about simply how to play the game, combined with the use of certs with the F2P model it gets very confusing very quickly and I don't think enough has been done to guide you through your first steps and introduce you to everything.
I also swear that new characters always spawn in the middle of a heated battle in awkward places. It would be much better if you spawned at your factions main base where you're given an introduction to using the tank/flyer purchasing hubs and the importance of each vehicle (Notably the Sunderer) and dropping into battles.
I'm still green to the game myself so I don't know everything but the primary way to get ammo is to go a deployed Sunderer for a resupply. This was another problem with the poor introduction to the game.
If there is a guide in-game then I've missed. The guide on the Map was about it.
Yeah. Planetside 2 doesn't do a good job at explaining what the hell to do.
Watch this video TB made on the absolute basics of the game if your still clueless on what to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx_xe...&feature=g-u-u
The draw distance that you can see infantry is fucking pathetic in some places.... I move an inch forward see SHIT tons of guys on a hill... move and inch backwards and suddenly no one is standing on that hill..... fucking pisses me off as a sniper.

Its not terribly complicated after a couple of days of playing though Obviously a better tutorial at the start would be good though. Also somewhere to test the weapons, if Im going to spend 7$ or 1000 certs on a new gun I want to try it out first
It's not hard to get into it at all, fix your settings and try to cap territories with either a tank or mosquito/reaver/scythe and upgrade your stuff once in awhile.
Anyway, i hope they optimize the game a heck of a lot more. a AMD phenom 2 x4 965 @ 3,4ghz + AMD radeon 6870 should be able to flawlessly run this game 1080x720 lowest settings. yet it doesn't at all.
EDIt: also, the lightning is bloody ugly compared to the PS1 model. it was a anti infantry death machine with two guns and now it's a ugly flat tank that's in his puberty phase that doesn't know what his role is.
