Planetside 2

I feel for games like this, i'd rather pay a reduced initial price (like 20-30 dollars), and then have relatively cheap microtransactions
 
I'm disappointed that they removed the 3rd person camera from the game. In the original Planetside I would walk around in 3rd and fight in 1st, it gave the game a more mmo feel. I'm a bit concerned that skins and other visual microtransactions for your character will be less appealing since you won't be able to see your character model.

3rd person=wall humping.

Pretty sure you can see your character plenty while customizing/choosing spawn points.

You can still do 3rd person in vehicles in Planetside 2.
 
Sadly this game feels like a larger scale BF3 conquest mode. No need to hack bases when you can just stand by capture points and capture them KOTH style. Even MAX suits can get in on the cap now. You add that with the fact that there's no cool down on MAX suits and you have everyone running around capping points in MAX. They need to seriously rethink this.

That's what a beta is for. Send the feedback in.
 
Honestly the MAX units are the weakest class in the game, IMHO.

Heavy Assault was the best for me.

only a small number of points are captured this way... most are walk up and hold E for x seconds (which MAXs can't do)

No, it's much more boring than BF3 ever thought about being. i was so looking forward to this game, but what I'm currently playing isn't worth my time. I'm not talking about from a technical perspective because I know its beta, but the game generally isn't very fun to play. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the action of BF3 or something.

What kind of action did you expect to see in a small beta for a massive multi-player game with huge map? The same kind of action on a bf3 map made for 32\64 players? When they open up the beta go to the free-to-play thing that's when the action is going to start. 20+ tanks rolling up to your base with a couple drop ships and other plane things moving from base to base. Anti air, tanks, MAXX's, light infantry blasting away every day and every night...
 
BETA....think about it.

I mean its unlikely they'll redo the entire core of the game or the graphics engine or maps at this point. However there are millions of variables the could change between now and when it launches. The Beta is barely out.
 
Anyone in beta: Take advantage of it. Bang in the feedback as much as you can! :)
 
All the PS1 vets got invites today, me and all my friends got in, the email went to spam for almost all of us so make sure to check your junkmail folders.

Played a bunch tonight with friends and really enjoyed it, can't wait to get my teeth into this, some initial concerns but generally speaking quite good first impressions.

I mean grats but damn, pretty much my friends and I have given up on caring about the beta, they keep saying 2 weeks and then adding another 2 weeks. I'll just play at release or when I'm done with guild wars 2 ;(
 
For anyone wandering you are not considered a veteran of ps1 if you played when it went free, etc. You have to have paid a subscription to be considered a veteran.

Guess i will have to wait the 1-2 weeks for beta code members.
 
Just to help manage peoples expectations, it's running a bit pants at the moment, there's some pretty severe CPU optimisation issues at the moment.

I'm running my i7 2600k@ 4.7Ghz, with 16Gb RAM and GTX580, the game is clearly CPU starved yet shows the CPU utilization very low, it's not taking advantage of multi-threading and the 4 main cores aren't being maxed, not even the primary engine thread is maxing its core, performance can tank to <30fps in large fights.
 
I got my beta invite just now !!! :D. Same weekend as guild wars 2 & im out of town. Double fail
