Title: Planetside 2: Which Faction will you be playing as?
Post by: TE_owner on August 06, 2012, 07:23:30 PM
As per the title which faction will you be playing as? If enough people are playing PS2 when it comes out then we can get a Platoon formed. For me it really depends... If the weapons and vehicles for the Vanu feel nice and tight then I'll probably go for them if not I'll go with the heavy hitting New Conglomerate.

As it goes...

Vanu Sovereignty= Technologic cultists /Energy weapons and hovercraft
New Conglomerate= Rag tag bunch of Freedom fighters /Heavy hitting but slow firing and moving
Terran Republic= Autocratic Fascist / Fast firing but less powerful weaponry

Duvel and I have been playing as TR on the Miller server.  Due to huge demand I had a hard time getting a spot for Duvel in my outfit's platoon last night, but he eventually got in and we got a server first by securing all three continents at one time. :D

I just followed the trafficjam at first. After that I managed to lose where you guys were going but suddenly found myself in a tankbattle against 30+ tanks and such. Had to go back to base 3 times just to refill on ammo on my tank untill your guys stepped in also. After that I got in the Platoon which was fun as there were finally actually up to date waypoints and good comms.

I did get some comments from the BMC-guys about my setup and such but after I told them I was just playing for less then a week they didn't care. Now just need to know on what to get on my good old tank.

GG's on Miller!

also the log in server has died, and i cant create an account- great :/

I think its to do with the year of birth 2001-2012... i was born a while before either dates..

got in, but had to go the long way around, as in now click the big create account, i had to use the top right one.. and seemingly the UK, GB or England do not seem to exist... same as the rest of the EU... so we on the US server.. but its listed as a EU one.. ***... sony.....

Its a good game but you really need an large outfit to play with. Join a squad and hope that the squad leader give you direction or you will get lost.

One thing they need to fix is people camping in tanks outside of spawn points. I got probably 100 revives just picking people up around our spawn areas trying to keep the base after they took the facility.

I am getting the hang of the game, its pretty in depth and has a steep learning curve but a well organised squad can completely change the entire map in a couple of hours with organised pushes. Pretty cool!

1/3) I've been playing with the guys from BMC where b00n is in. Following these guys and it's good points all together. Some harsh language sometimes but follow and kill and get XP.
Some squadleaders are just crap. They say: Follow waypoints or be kicked but they don't refresh waypoints or don't even have them up.

2) That's the game, people like to farm on some waypoints. Get used to it and if you have a proper squad/outfit going then they will do the same. Even if you take a thing like a Ampstation. There's enemies spawning also so what most people do is cover their spawnpoint just so they can't get back their base or have a hard time defending it. It happens on all sides.

What server and faction are you playing on? I've read through this thread but I'm not sure unless I missed it.
