Some probably heared me talking about this already, and some will never have heared about this game.
I've been following this game for a while now, its not yet released, but its going in beta verry soon.
The reasons why I'm kind of following this game are the next. - 2000 player servers (or thats what they saying annyway) - Squads that will be bigger then 4 players (thought up to 10 or 15 not completly sertain) - One big world, not small maps, but 1 map that is constantly changes cause you fighting over sertain points - Night and day cycle - Free2Play (not much know about what they will ask money for, as far as I heared would more or less be the cosmetics that you have to pay for) - 6 differend classes (medic is there ofcourse - there will be vehicles, but they got a special spawn system for them, they do not auto spawn, you have to go to a terminal in one of your bases and buy the vehicle you want to use. Also if its destroyed there's a time penalty before you can spawn the vehicle again.
What worries me - its scify (I do love scify myself, but I also know this can be the downfall for some games) - Free2Play (I know I've put this in my like list aswell, but they could really **** this up with the wrong model)
For the rest some more info, there are 3 factions every faction his own style and his own benefits. Your character is faction bound, so if we going to play this and thats a big if we probably should see to play all on the same side. The factions are: - Terran Republic - New Conglomerate - Vanu Sovereignty The first 2 factions speak most to me. First cause its milatary bad ass oppressor. And the second are the rebel guys that do everything to win . These 2 factions seem for me the 2 most normal. The third faction is a faction that uses "alien" tech...
Annyway I think i'm making this a way to big post, and you all getting tired of me. Just one thing more. I managed to get my hands on 5 beta keys. At this moment we got a small fireteam ready for when they let us in the beta with these keys. - Black (me) - Foggy - PaulyP - AtrixBlue
I'll do my best to get some more keys, but for now I got one left, so the person interested let me know, I'll send it over.
Hummm.. just another small concern to add there... if there is 2000 people on one map - will an individual squad ever feel like it can make a difference. If you feel like you don't make any difference then that could be a problem... not sure how they will handle that.
Haven't thought about that, but from the things I've seen is that you won't be fighting with the 2000 guys over the same controll point. They will be fighting over multiple controll points.
The controll points themself do have points that have to be taken. Like they explained it is, you got 1 big map, but its devided in smaller maps, you can see these as zones, but you can go dynamicly from one to the other. These smaller maps have points of themself like we know in JO or BF (A,B,C,D,E,...), you have to controll these to capture the zone. I geuss you have to see it a bid like a frontline that will be constantly moving.
Best geuss is its some sort of AAS from JO just a bid bigger scale, but I get your consern pauly. All I hope is it will give you some epic playtime like we used to have in JO, fighting hours over 1 or 2 bases
Well I'd rather it wasn't sify but I'm definitely willing to give it a good go. BF3 is too boring for me. I won't be buying any more games from DICE.
I got Bad Company 2 and we played it for about 3 months. Got BF3 played it for about 6 months.
DICE games just don't last and are no value for money, so I'm not even looking or thinking about BF4 now... I'm not suckered again... especially with the move to premium services and DLC.
Black: I've registered my beta key and it added it to my sony account ok so now just have to wait until they let me play.
Will give it a go when it's out. Most likely it'll be like rest of free2play games, 50% more exp&credits with "premium". 5-10 € per month. And ofcourse u need to pay for the ûber cool pink armor etc.
Seen some interviews yesterday (some of gamescom some older), and heared some interesting details.
- At this moment a squad is 12players - a map is a continent, and there will be multiple continents. The continent that they have been showing is about 64km² (for our english boys about 24.71mi²) so pretty big. - Like I said before I wasn't sertain about the Free to play model. Cause in allot of games its pay to win. They doing there best to not be like that. Yes you will be able to buy weapons with real money, but also as a player that doesn't put anny money in it, you'll be able to get these weapons unlocked. Also they trying to balance weapons as much as possible(not easy like we know from other games like COD or BF), so when a gun gains something somewhere, it will lose something. So for example, you unlock a new toy, that toy can do more damage then your old toy, but will shoot slower then your old toy (you get the point I hope) - You can move around the whole map without anny loading screens between there (so like in JO - There are a couple of vehicles that can transport up to 12ppl (so in a squad nobody is left behind )
Just found out when its released you will be able to download it using steam (for you steam lovers under us).
Also I still got 1 beta key left. Today they adding the next wave to the beta, so they are adding the PS1 vets with an inactive subscription (yes planetside 1 had a subscription). After this wave they going to normally going to add the keys they handed out, and then the ppl that signed up on the website. No dates know for these waves tho
At least it's free to try so anyone will be able to play it without spending some cash... guess it just means waiting a little longer if you dont get a key
we probably should see to play all on the same side.
