I do not play this game since my desktop is unable to do so, but I am curious about the politics of the game. I am guessing that ideology roleplay would be difficult to pull off at the moment, but there are 3 factions, and looking at some games, you see that one faction is completely dominating the game while the two lesser factions are weak but still fighting one another. Is there some sort of alliance system that works more or less like "The enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
And adding ideology to the New Conglomerate would be fun. Arguing with one another about social democracy, republicanism, socialism, communism, libertarianism, and anarchism would be so much fun, but like I said, impossible and plain stupid since people are here to enjoy war, not politics.
There is a soft limit on the faction members, i.e. you can't really have more than 1/3 of the online players (+/- a few).
Also, there are 3 continents. If one continent gets dominated by one faction, you move to another continent and abuse the fact that most of one faction aren't there. It happens sometimes that each faction dominates one continent, then everyone moves to another continent and dominates that while losing the one they dominated before.
There is faction "roleplay", including lots of trash talking between attackers and defenders of bases. There are no alliances, it's an "eternal war" between all 3 factions, there is no truce.
Sometimes there are strategic decisions like "ok, let's not take more from the Vanu because the TR are the bigger danger now and maybe the Vanu will pressure them somewhere and pull forces from the area we want to attack". There is no official communication though and everything is the decision of the involved players. An agreement wouldn't work because most players wouldn't be informed and attack each other anyways.
Also, NC have an ideology.
We fight for freedom, democracy and the right to wear bigger guns than other factions.
Lastly, Vanu are cowards in purple spandex and the TR represent an unacceptable tyranny, why should we even talk to them?
|
A bunch of us play on Genudine and TR is always like 3-5% behind the other two - we've basically abandoned two continents and try to fight it out on one. Wish there were a better mechanism for balancing... the 29/36/36 BS earlier today was maddening.

I feel like aside from the bugs and lingering issues + lack of the promised missions/quest content in the game, they really need to implement a control system giving a real feeling of tangible benefit for actually doing well in the war, right now its just a bit too... lacking.

Play light assault and stick to the roofs or somewhere higher up in the base construction (but not the battlements that are easily accessible via those air elevators or stairs). So many easy kills/xp/certs that way.
Generally if you have a higher ground advantage with any class you should be able to get kills, but light assault has it the easiest because you can jetpack everywhere and get to all the right places other classes can't.

First thing: You will die. A lot.
Dying is normal, in battles it happens often that you spawn, get blown up, respawn, move 10m, die, get revived by a medic, die the second you are standing again, ...
At the start i would recommend doing supporty stuff, either as enginner repairing vehicles and providing ammo for the troops or as medic healing and reviving everyone. It gives a ton of cert and you slowly get the hang of the dynamic of battles without dying that much... well, if you can dodge the tanks driving over you while you try to repair them.
The second thing is to learn take advantage of the map and do stuff that is not in the center of the zerg battle and actually helps your team:
- Destroy force field generators (Shield icon with some symbol on it depending on what it's for) to open the path for your tanks and sunderers to actually move into the base or to allow your team to destroy the Spawn Control Unit. To destroy them, move up to them, hold E until the circle indicator is full, then wait 60s until they blow up. The opponent will defend it, so you will still have to fight but you'll live longer because the battle is smaller. Especially in Amp Stations there is often a fight where the attackers constantly run through the shields into the meatgrinder. If you destroy the entrance shields (Shield icon with a tank symbol), your team can roll in tanks that can actually do something useful.
- Destroy the Spawn Control Unit (Upside down Triangle icon with a stylized SCU in the mid). Similar to generators, just move up to it, hold E, then wait 120s until it blows up. Also, same as above, you'll have to fight through opponents to get there but your main zerg will most likely distract them.
- Prevent the enemy from doing the above 2 points. To stop a generator or SCU from exploding, just move to it and hold E. If it is already destroyed, you need to switch to engineer and repair it with your repair tool. Since opponents must have started the overloading, they will most likely be around for you to shoot.
- Flank the battlefield as a Heavy and destroy enemy Sunderers to stop the reinforcements. Look at where the opponents come from and just trace the line of enemies back to the source.
- Capture the outer bases to give your team more routes into the enemy base or prevent the same from happening to your faction. Often most enemies spawn just in one of the outposts while there will only be few in the other outposts, ready for you to get picked up.
- Get a sunderer and find a better spawnpoint than the existing sunderers, allowing your team to suddenly attack from another angle or force them to split their defenses. While the enemy hasn't yet caught up to the backdoor spawn, you can often get a few quick kills before they build up the defensive line.
- Repair and use the base defense towers. They are underused but can actually almost 1v1 a big tank and they don't cost resources. You can often get quite a few kills using those because the attackers are often not taking those into account since in many cases all the turrets are destroyed and noone bothers repairing them.
- Hijack the defense turrets and use them against the opponents. As infiltrator you can hack defense turrets and then shoot at the opponents with their own turrets.
Most people just run in looking for kills and the result is always a big meatgrinder that goes nowhere. Going for objectives on the side of the battlefields increases your lifetime and actually gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you manage to achieve it.

i lonewolf it a lot of the time also, you just don't make anywhere near as much as people in squads/platoons do
that doesn't stop me from earning bout 60-70certs an hour unless im not trying to hard

I guet only 20 cert/hour at best. I think it also depends on servers, from my experience some are much harder than others. (for example Soltech is way easier than miller)

play support
go engi and cert into repair gun
also buy ams cert for sunderer
setup ams then go follow around tanks/maxs repairing
you will get a lot more than 20certs per hour

The problem is that my faction is getting dominated on Miller, so sudenrer rarely lives for long.

I'm glad people like you exist but I guess I'm another poor soul. Placing a cup of tea on the mouse and aiming in the general direction of an ally does the same job, and when I'm playing, I want to do something a cup of tea cannot.

Helpful yes, fun no. Holding down a mouse button over some guy isn't my idea of fun. I know why its useful (and i do support some times), but if given a choice between doing something as non-interactive as that and having to twitch gameplay and test my reactions.. That's not even a choice i have to think about to make.
This is all personal opinion of course, and i have nothing against people who enjoy that kind of play. It's just not for me.

Placing a cup of tea on the mouse and aiming in the general direction of an ally does the same job, and when I'm playing, I want to do something a cup of tea cannot.
when i go on a 40+ killstreak with my max
its because i have a partner or two behind me repping
they are profiting just like i am
if you are only getting 20certs an hour
it means you are only killing 20peeps an hour or so
soooooooooooo, maybe some people are better off playing supports
not to mention this game is built on teamwork
lonewolfs are significantly less useful unless you are a pro mofucka

The medic is unlike the medic in TF 2 where you only sit and heal. PS2 Medic seems to be the most exciting in my opinion since you can not only fight on the frontlines, but also make sure that your buddies remain alive. Almost like a modern marine.
Haha...I enjoy fantasizing and I doubt that perspective will change your opinion D:

Fuck that, I'm there to tear the hearts out of bitches.
Lonewolf isn't so bad as long as you know how to make the most impact for team. Even an infiltrator can make a difference in a firefight. But of course sometimes its plainly obvious that you have become a heavy or an engineer when you've got 10 tanks rolling into your base... yup that was me I put down the sniper and got a rocket launcher because no one else would.

I picked up PS2 since, after quitting WoW arena some time ago, I haven't had the ability to heal for quite some time, and picked up Medic. I have a great deal of competitive FPS experience, but I'm just feeling healy lately.
So far, Medic heals seem really weak. I can't keep anyone up during a fight, I just feel like a light assault with rez. Maybe engineer is better for feeling that heals+utility role. That having been said, being able to actually fight as a medic is pretty sweet.

Cert it and it gets stronger. Medics also tend to have really accurate guns even if they have less DPS than carbines.
