So a bunch of people have asked me when planetside 2 is, since they've seen me playing it on steam recently.
The answer is now.

Post up with your names. Current plan is harasser/flash raids behind enemy lines blowing up Ants.

I finished dl'ing 10gb of missed content so I might hop on later to test the waters and spend a couple hours fiddling with my settings. hopefully it runs as good or better as it did a year'n'half ago when I last played

I also don't know what it is about NC that I like, they were the first guys I played and tbh I've never even played a minute as a different race

I've had this picture saved for years and it brings me great joy to preach the word of the NC again

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 11:03 pm #172422

I really can't figure out how you can look at the three factions and not pick NC.

Like...are you fucking serious?

Your options are:

BLUE AND YELLOW FREEDOM FIGHTERS ROCK AND ROLL FUCK YEAH
BLACK AND RED JUST THE WAY FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS LIKE IT FUCK YOU MOM AND DAD YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ME
PURPLE AND GREEN AAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you need any more convincing just look at this. Just look at this beautiful bastard.

NC has the best tank, bar none

The VS has an effective tank too, though, there's something to be said for AYY maneuverability

The TR has better infantry game. The whole game's combat revolves around how many bullets you can put into people faster than anyone else and the TR has a faster RoF. NC weapons just can't compare to how good the TR ones are.

Fighting the TR in close quarters is a nightmare.

Fighting them anywhere else isn't.

Close and Medium Range TR is a fight you're going to lose because of their combat medics having ridiculous guns. In long-range the VS wins but if it's NC v TR the TR is gonna zerg with combat medics and heavy assaults and roll over their infantry then tanks in short order. Their NCs air basically doesn't exist because the TR ones are so much better.

SteelGriffin2(Becuase I think my old accoutn still has it somehow).

I still nee dto do the beginning tutorial thing.
I played years ago, but a random single dude decided to chew me out a little and I logged off when I didn't respond in built in voice comms quick enough(since i Hadn't set it up). I decided to pull full assistant and ghost until another day when I felt like it.

game runs surprisingly well, well maybe it was a given cause I was only at the warpgate. Now i've just gotta try and get this red tint off my screen and I'm set looks I'm going to permanently have red lines on everything rip maybe updating my drivers for once will wake me up inside

Dezz and I ended up rolling together in a two-man tank team. I threw some dosh at my Vanguard to make it better (AP turret and Enforcer). Man, you blow up one fuckin' Magrider with that thing and it's an instant like...2k+.

On one trip out I think I made almost 5k from blowing up a bunch of random shit.

Vanguard stronk.

How many people do you have to run over in a tank before it counts as a war crime?

I'm asking for a friend.

I'm playing on 0 render quality and 500 view distance. I'm playing 800x600 and on an unsupported graphics card, which causes this to happen 24/7

somehow managed to play with you guys and even get a Battle Rank. GG

That actually looks pretty fucking awesome.

Holy fucking shit driving a Vanguard is the most satisfying shit ever.
If I had done this before I never would've stopped playing.

Dude.

The four of us acting like morons and just zerging out of our Sunderer distracted the entire western front of the TR so badly another unit was able to ghost cap everything behind our line, then rejoin with our ragtag shithead brigade and steamroll over two more points.

We did good.

But the Vanguard AP turret is king when it comes to tank brawls.

I think that the Walker may be a better top gun for stand off sniping in the vanguard. Despite my higher muzzle velocity I was still not really able to control the increased spread of the enforcer. The enforcer is a beast of a gun when you mix up in close range, and the walker can shred through infantry nests at those ranges and try to take out those annoying ass planes to boot. Though the walker costs a small fortune in certs.

That said I had a lot of fun once we got it working and managed to smash some harassers and such.

Takeguru · Post by **Takeguru** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:05 pm #172596

Played a bit last night at REAL NIGGA HOURS
I went from BR 1 to 7 just defending a Kylor lab with an AT turret

Lost count of my infantry kills, but I ended 4 sundies, 3 scythes who wanted to sit there and MG the turret, 2 lightnings, and a flash

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:27 pm #172599

The A-tross and the Reaper DRM are your long range options.

The last time I was playing and threw money at my combat medic I bought him this:
http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/NS-11A

Really decent all-rounder rifle. Bonus points that it unlocks for all factions, if you feel like rolling alts and playing with other people's toys.

Honestly the default GR-22 is fucking bonkers good. It's quite possible to outrace some TR infantry in CQC with it. Use with a reflex sight and a foregrip. You'll be a force in close quarters.

Looking at stuff on paper the A-Tross does seem like a pretty good choice if you want to be fighting at more intermediate and long ranges. Practice with that pistol though, you're not going to be happy when you turn around and see an infiltrator with a submachine gun standing there.

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:07 pm #172623

i can play anytime

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:17 pm #172627

Sorry Wyzack the weapon loadouts keep changing from when I first played. What was default for me isn't default for everyone anymore. Saving up 600+ certs to buy a new gun for a class is a huge waste of points at first and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

If youre stuck on CM with the basic NC1 Gauss Rifle and you're like "Man this is shit!" my recommendation would be to get the 2x scope for it and then either a laser sight if you want versatility (ADS for long range targets, hip fire for close range targets) or the foregrip if you want to go all in on long range (or you're really good at scoping on people right next to you). The scope and the laser will only cost you 105 cert points.

People mumbling about the gun on the wiki say the 3.4x scope and a foregrip is optimal for this gun. That'll run you a whopping 130 certs.

TheWiznard · Post by **TheWiznard** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:54 pm #172634

with the amount of frames I get I just say fuck it and invested most of my pre BR15 certs into shotguns. I can't kill people with smg/rifles but spam click that shottie for mad kills. yeah I can't do shit even with slugs at any long ranges, but I can't see people that far away from me anyway lol

also last night when we were playing I reached BR15 and my game froze so I couldn't reset all of my cert points. kinda pissed me off. not a big deal but it would have given me back maybe 300 certs from infilitrator/jump jets

I think with like...two fit Vanguards, a fit Sunderer, and a total of 6-7 players we could rule the world.

Vanguards fit HEAT rounds and anti-personnel turrets.
Sunderer fits two AA turrets and Ammo supply.

Everyone is an Engineer. Everyone maxes their repair tool, explosive armor, and then the "repair shit while inside a vehicle" passive.

We roll out and never stop.
