Planetside 2 - MMOFPS

[Miralay]

Best part about this game is light assault and C4. Hilarious.
Suicide bombed 8 medics by dropping a single C4 in their healing centre. Before I did it I wrote "FOR SCIENCE!" in the chat. 

I'm using standard LA carbine as VS. The upgrades don't seem to be much better. I'd rather get more C4.

Terrorist scum!

I too want to get C4, but only to stick on my precious Flash...

Just FYI me and some other byz guys are playing on Miller.

Overall the game is very nice both gameplay wise and graphically (i'm one of those lucky sobs who actually have a decent fps rate) . We had a discussion brought up last night though. Some people (me included) really, REALLY don't like the interior fights inside the bigger bases.
 They create this enormous world with endless possibilities for logistics, strategy and tactics and then they decide to make capturing bases the only goal in the game. I mean it is more or less logical and the smaller bases are ok, even the fights in front of the big bases ("courtyards") are more or less fun, but as soon as you go inside it all turns into a mindless meat grinder. Almost no tactical options, no way of putting your skill to use, just run in, die, respawn - rince and repeat. I really think they could've done this better.

On a side note, i trialed the chain machine gun yesterday when i was running solo and made 25 certs in half an hour .

This. I generally feel a lack of options when defending or attacking those small tower bases with 4 jet spawns.

Btw pro tip : when the situation becomes stale and you find yourself respawning, killing just one dude and dying, you are better being somewhere else, having more than a few dozens of people fighting in those base's interiors is useless.

Tech plants are the worst. Massive interior, but only enterable from one side, with plenty of options for defenders to dig in. Always has the biggest clusterfucks that just drag on for hours until one side finally gives in.

Needs more bases like Zurvan. Objectives all split up in unconnected buildings, requiring people to be running around outside all the time. I could play there all day. The only problem is its proximity to the Crown. People will be attacking Zurvan, but then get scooped up by the Crown's gravitational pull. There's no escaping that black hole.

I've done that a lot aswell, but so far no big successes

The benefit of the game is that you can avoid the big bases and still help your team

Leave base capping to the zerg, go take the side towers etc. it actually helps the team more than joining the meat grinder.

Less certs, though. Best way to grind certs is to just shoot people like crazy, I find.

I think if you got a squad and concentrate on taking undefended positions, you will see a lot of +1000 XP. Some days I fight with the main zerg and kill a lot of people but only get like 2 or 3 station cap/defense.

Hmm. I've only experienced one big fight at a tech lab. That one in the middle of esamir. But that fight was actually loads of fun because all sides had sizable forces there and most were fighting outside. I've had FAR worse fights though. Yesterday I and some other squad members were fighting at ikanam bio lab for a straight 6 hours. No battle outside either. Basically get in the teleporter, run out the shield, die. Pretty sure they only relented because our side ended up taking all their other bases.

I only suicide bomb when I run out of ammo with everything inside a larger complex. Today I suicide bombed 13 people with 7 lives(yes, I counted). Never back a Vanu in a corner.

Oh btw. I SAW SPOOKISLAND ON HOSPI SERVER. He was playing as TR on Connery.

Invite pl0x, the name's JohnnyJackDavis.

I am still suffering from these infuriating crashes. I can only play for 10 minutes max now, most of the crashes seem to occur when I have just died and am waiting for the respawn/map screen to come up.

I invited you to the outfit, check notifications.
