I will have to see if the rest of the TAS pilots are going to get involved in this, I know TEST, AT and TGWW have been doing this on the vanu side. This could be really really awesome!

No one air zergs like Vanu.

Yes I'm still Rahsun on Mattherson.

I'm loving the VDRS's retardation on the Waterson server.

Notorious had some fun encounters with Cry Me a Reaver last night. This is my favorite clash of the night. Of course it's where we wrecked them. I'm still feeling under gunned against reavers but at least we're getting some kills on them.

Will anyone check into the MLG PS2 event?

They'll present the new ESPORTS map and format. From what i understand it's platoon vs platoon with the squad leaders at MLG and the rest of the platoon at home observed by ingame GMs on a small island with 7 bases. Could be interesting.

When will that be? I'm interested.

As far as i understood, the information will be released some time tomorrow. They are already streaming from MLG on http://www.twitch.tv/Planetside2 but it doesn't seem to be anything specific today, just general gameplay, chatter and lots of technical problems.

How many competitive quality teams of 50+ (since you need a whole bunch of alternates with that size team) can there really be with a PS2-size playerbase? And how many viewers?

I don't really get what MLG sees in this game as far as potential, but it's a cool idea I guess. Seems like it would be a lot more feasible with like a WoW-size playerbase.

Sony just throws the $$$ at MLG to have it.

Its not balancable, the playerbase is to small and there is no way a spectator can keep up and show whats really going on.

Sooo many harassers now, tonight a couple separate times I saw like fields of 15 harassers. Gunning in a tank against them it was like whack a mole, it feels like you have a flyswatter and you are being attacked by a horde of flies but they like never die. Although one got smushed by racer chassis.

Also is it even possible to win the Esamir territory alert (which seems to come every day recently) from the Northwest warpgate? Haven't seen it yet, although yesterdays looked promising on Waterson but I had to leave with like 30 mins left. Dunno what happened.

I've seen the NC cap Esamir with ease, but I don't know if it being an alert makes it much harder.

As long as they keep adding new crap, I think PS2 will have a growing fanbase.

I'm a little more sceptic, i think BF4 will have a serious impact on the game.

and they really haven't added much to the game until now, more fixed it to a state it should have been released at.

I've been messing around on Waterson a little bit part time just for fun. It's interesting figuring out who to watch out for again from scratch. Something I notice is the skies aren't as escalated as the Mattherson skies as far as coordinated air squads. It's much easier to find 1v1s, and the guys people tell me are top pilots on Waterson aren't as hard to deal with as QRY for sure. At least it confirms my suspicions that Mattherson has the most competitive airspace, out of the EST servers at least.

Galaxy Repair & Ammo Supply Certifications
We’re considering Galaxy repair and ammo supply certifications. Giving ESFs and Liberators more locations to re-arm from and more objectives to attack/defend in the sky.

Oh yeah baby I'm gonna be Rah's repair and ammo prostitute!

Speaking of flying, how do you find the air update plan?

PS2 Air Plan

I haven't been in the skies as my (now old) computer would hitch occassionally when I fly, so I am curious as how pilots view the changes.

Those wing mounted guns (non rocket ones) sound like they could be pretty fun. A big change will be the damage drop off for the rotaries and that the mossie and Scythe nose guns will one clip.

Forgot to read the "secondary non-rockets on wings" part of the forum post

The coyote + locust sounds extremely weird and bizzare. The railgun sounds awesome, although I wish you could substitute the nose cannon for it and keep your fuel pods =/

AA missiles that supposedly take more effort to use than the normal ones, and a gatling gun. What do you do with the gatling gun? Air-to-ground? Liberator takedowns? Ambushing fighters would be better with the railgun, assuming you can just fire off one shot then immediately swap, but since rotaries already eat you alive...I dunno...

Does anyone know how to get the special ammo I've been hearing about? (High Velocity or Soft Point)
There is an ammo tab with the gun certs but it isn't active.
Do you have to get an Auraxium Medal on a gun before you can get special ammo for it?

Only a few weapons have access to different ammo.

Since i don't know which faction you play and which class you prefer you have to check yourself for which applies to you:
Carbines
Assault Rifles
LMGs
