Why isn't Ceres in the poll? My friends began playing there so I went there too. The server is currently unavailable, so, if you tell me where you all play, I might go there.

I am on Connery (US) playing as TR.

Ended up joining an outfit called HFA, which made the game a thousand times better since they are actually organized and everyone knows teamplay is more fun.

Protecting a tech plant with C4, around 20 of these kills have come from C4 and about 7-10 more from when I wait for medics to resurrect a few of the guys who blew up and then I kill them again with a grenade. And then I shoot whatever's left:

I had to hide because I was out of explosives and ammo for everything.

Playing a Vanu Terrorist is awesome.

Pick a style and stick with it. That's why I'm still a Ninja ;)

And no idea. They were shouting "Berlin is burning" after that repeatedly." No idea why

I acctually didnt get the appeal of this game at first glance. Played it, got my ass kicked alot, by people that refused to die, even thou I emptied like 2 clips on them and I died in 2 bullets. Until some guys picked me up in their pedobear truck and we acctually rode into a battlefield. With artillery, planes and lots of shooting and shit. And it was pretty awesome.

Aint half-bad game afterall, but still, I dont get the massive popularity behind it. Seems like everything that other games have done before. Exept the massive world/continental battles, which I think someone should seriuslly make for Warband, cause than I would litterally cry out of joy and sell my phone, cause I wont be calling anybody for a year. But is it just me? Mybe pewpew games arent something I should really judge.

Actually I found out that a lot of people are turned off by Planetside 2 after their first session, which is completely understandable. They don't know where to go, they don't know where the fire is coming from, they don't know what to do and they get, at least that's how it appears to them, shot down in a second. The no tutorial hot drop randomly in the world part isn't very helping either. But once they get the hang of things and learn where to go and what to do, or even better, find a squad that does teamwork, the game experience improves immensely.

I think I'm getting a bit tired of the Assault Rifle I've been using exclusively on my medic, the SABR-13. It's a shame because I just spent 100 certs on the compensator >_>. I just don't dig the 2 round burst fire anymore, it's good for range but not that great for CQC. I really miss full auto, so I'm gonna get another gun.

In other news, think we hit the record on how many of us from the great Calradian RePublican Guard played yesterday in a platoon, there was 16 of us. It's good that Tomas took the initiative and actually led the platoon, otherwise people would be running left and right on their own. This reminds me, Tomas needs to put up priority speaker on TS, I'm hearing a lot of non-relevant chatter, which I don't mind, but when the platoon leader is speaking everyone should be able to hear him. It'll help organize faster.

Otherwise a good play session, even though I only stayed till the server restart. We're still slow on regrouping/gathering on points, but we'll iron that out.

For the Republic!

PlanetSide 2 is like many massive scale games, you don't get to actually enjoy them more than a normal shooter/whatev until you find a group of people to play with and voip. And that's something quite hard to do for the masses of player that came alone and weren't able to push friends into the game.

Also, I sort of led the squad yesterday (afaik I was the only one with spawn beacon and squad map marker) and we captured like 5 territories for the glory of the terran nation !

About the SABR-13, I personally find it even better in CQC, as I mash LMB like it's a pistol.

Are you talking about those squad map markers for defend/attack that you can cert into? I got that as well but no clue on how to use it.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, I'm not talking about the squad waypoint, but the attack/defend orders.
