It's funny how a mate and i we're talking about this few months back. We said, i realy hope they'd make a second part.

And now they do.

Awesome.

That's not free to play, that's buy to play. They've stated that people will be able to play the game without paying anything, referencing LoL's business model on several occasions.

I like The Vanu Sovereignty for their superior technology.

Ja nisam imao nikakvih problema kad sam se registrovao na sajtu, a stavio sam Serbia.

Opposite. No purchase price but they will likely have a tiered membership program like they do with EQ2/DCUO (free players, "silver" players who have purchased something in game, and "gold" players who are currently subscribing to the game) is the most likely method of monetizing the game.

For those of you interested, there will be a live streaming of Planetside 2 with new game-play footage with Matt Higby (Creative Director for Planetside 2) and Totalbiscuit which can be found here starting in 10 minutes, enjoy!

Interesting point. I'd definitely be keen on a subscription option if one was avaliable, maybe something like bolstering the rate at which you aquire the resources used to upgrade equipment. As long as its nothing over the top like making all equipment/vehicle spawning free etc.

On a side note, one vehicle im looking forward to getting my hands on and customizing is the Deliverer.. loved the TR version in #1.

So with the introduction of hit boxes, can/should pilots be sniped out of vehicles? Also Should a max unit be able to recieve a head shot? Personally I love flying vehicles and I feel that headshots are a necassary evil. Does anyone know if this is the case or not?

Can't wait >.<

I was a proud member of Ghosts of the Revolution, a military-style VS outfit in PS1.

I used to fly the Galaxies for our Thursday "raid nights." Deploy my squad over the target base, land nearby, and set up shop w/ all sorts of engineering defenses.

I CANNOT WAIT for Planet Side 2. Vanu for life (because we all know the Magrider is the best tank in the game).

**Drdigit** · 2012-06-01, 04:21 PM

Yeah, I'm seriously looking forward to running with my old mates from PS1. Played with a small spec-ops group, but we had our fun. Next week is going to be real big for Planetside 2, they have a few hundred person battle planned to show just a fraction of the scale to the public, going to be epic. Oh and Toxigen, the Magriders are the best...best target practice for the TR Prowlers!

Seconded. They always made such beautiful rubble

.

I was an original member of Outcasters on Werner TR, will most likely join back up with them for #2.

Man, female characters don't have hooker armor.

My fanservice ;_;

**Yakobro** · 2012-06-02, 03:27 AM

I'm somewhat concerned about how the servers will hold up...
They may have experience in the past but it seems like ALOT of strain with that many people/physics etc, especially at the start until the population settles down.

**looopy** · 2012-06-02, 04:37 AM

TB's most recent video got me so pumped

**Creepjack** · 2012-06-02, 08:30 AM

I'm in desperate need of this game. I'm currently playing Tribes:Ascend, but it's just a shadow of the previous games so it barely quenches my thirst for some good futuristic shooter. Planet Side 2 is the answer to my prayers _(._.)_

**Mortallus** · 2012-06-03, 09:20 PM

Anyone know when the beta will start?

**Tyranostar** · 2012-06-04, 12:13 AM

E3 is going on right now so they will be able to get alot of data and feed back from that and then they will have some work to do and then I can imagine they would start opening beta up shortly after that, so I can imagine the beta being released in the middle of summer some time, but that is sheer speculation, also im sure that TB and this forum will Ignite as soon as the first email goes out.
