Something you need to consider about PS1 conts is that the devs only needed to worry about terrain since all the bases were copy pasta.
In PS2, their design philosophy means there are a shit ton of bases they need to design, each of them individual, barring facilities (and even then there are differences between individual facilities).
It's a lot more work then a PS1 cont would take
First for the Crown belongs to the TR
>not first
TR confirmed for megacucks
Which faction on Emerald is actually decent at the game? Emerald TR are as trash as Connery NC. I might just make a VS since they seem to be perpetually underpopped there now.

>Orion still haven't been fixed
But that's wrong
Let's take this step by step
>>Projectile speed is still slow compared to other FPS
It's a design choice, and doesn't really cause any problems, so it doesn't need to be changed
>>Vanguard still negates damage instead of mitigating it
Boo fucking hoo, cry me a river. Go cry to Wrel, I'm sure prowler buffs will be live in a week.
>>Orion still haven't been fixed
Are you actually retarded?
>>walls can't snap with each other leaving holes that Infiltrators can exploit
Construction as a whole is shit desu
>>Biolabs still exist
Cry me a river.
>>Cheaters that I had issues with are still around
valid complaint
>>Still no sanctuaries and/or working warpgates
valid complain
tldr you're a faggot
>In PS2, their design philosophy means there are a shit ton of bases they need to design, each of them individual
>implying they don't just plop down walls and shit almost at random, and then push it to live regardless of how the base plays out
Have you seen the new Indar bases? Are we even playing the same game?
Literally the only good thing about the construction patch was the removal of Broken Arch
prove me wrong
Biolabs are objectively shit though. The whole infantry gameplay meta is measured by how badly you can exploit the shitty netcode. Which is why you see so many brazilians inside biolabs.

I haven't been here in a while, do we still do memes?
no memes
only wrel now
lol
>no memes
do we still respond with 'aim better' to most posts? that was one of my favorites
only when appropriate
for example, in this case it wasn't appropriate
but "lol" would have been
Vanguard is a HA
Magrider is a LA
Prowler is an infiltrator with a semi auto and no cloak or EMP

completely false
>>I'm so MLG when I camp the landing pads
>implying pads are the best part of a biofarm
spoken like a true shitter
The true meaning of aim better has been corrupted by faggotry.
>implying pads are the best part of a biofarm
They are the only ones that actually happen because 90% of the time the attackers can't get in
This game would be better without biolabs
vanguard is a battle rifle HA
magrider is an NS-11 medic
prowler is a medic with one rifle per hand that can choose to stand still and get an extra 1.5 rifles
>because 90% of the time the attackers can't get in
>what is teleporters
you're a fucking shitter, just stop posting and neck yourself
And you know how well standing still works in PS2. Tanks are no exception.
yes yes
I agree, I buf 4 u
powlers now has 270% DPS without having to stand still
but it's balanced, it just appeals to certain playstyles

Careful with the edge, Coldsteel.
Teleporters are even more easily camped.
>implying teleporters don't get camped too
pretty sure it stopped being valid when redditors started repeating it. "shitter" is also repeated ad infinitum
Maybe they don't on ameribad servers.
>Teleporters are even more easily camped.
that's irrelevant though

sometimes I don't understand phone autocorrects. I replied to some guy talking about Koch Industries, and for some reason it switched to Kosher Industries. eventually i'm just gonna switch it off.

And that's why PS2 will never die
It will always be played because it's the best MMOFPS on the market
Because the market for MMOFPS's is fucking nonexistant
They're pushing me to the quitting for good point though. There are plenty of bad companies, but DBG deserves to go fucking bankrupt.
t. 5.0 kdr, 0.5 ivi kdr proud warrior of the Terran republic
ivi is that rule that says you can't use certain guns right
so it's not all that legitimate right
But nothing prevents people going back to normal FPS. The truth is that the best Planetside has to offer are balanced 48-96 fights. But most fights are not those. Overpopping is the most effective way to win, and while one faction has all its pop spawncamping a base waiting for it to cap, another faction is doing the same somewhere else. Some bases are also impossible to take with 50% pop, like biolabs and towers with A point inside.
The normal FPS market is also bad atm. Rarely do servers go up to 64 players, if that.
>ivi is that rule that says you can't use certain guns right
You can use all the normal guns except for broken cancer like bolt shitting rifles.
It's a great metric to see if someone is actually good at fps games or just camps spawn rooms with ESF and a Prowler
Someone should just make a 96v96 Battlefield clone. No 5v5 esport bullshit, no Fluttyman zerging with 300 DIGlets. Best of both worlds.
But all tryhard fags switched to bolt shitting when 0.75 and adrenoweave got nerfed.
Yes, because they were always shit.
The problem is that it often devolves into campfests, moreso if the maps are intentionally designed to be standoffs. Battlefield 3/4s metro is popular for pubs but the imbalance shows. If it's gonna be 96v96, it needs to have a fairly large map per match (like 2-3 zones in planetside)
>no Fluttyman zerging with 300 DIGlets
>DIG will never be alive again
JDIMS. Farming ELME is just not the same, they pull too many MAXes and all that regular TR cancer shit
NC and VS are a bunch of gay niggers who have teamed up against TR.
>2142 with frostbite destruction will never happen

VS still most MLG
now try MAXes and vehicles
>use Butcher for a while
>avg like 3 or 3.5 k/d with it
>switch back to CARV
>wtf I forgot this gun had no recoil
>pull 10 k/d and 51% hsr over an hour
I want to like you Butcher, but you make it so hard for me.
Imagine NC MAXes with pre nerf ZOE. Now that would be balanced, unlike the stupid shield.
The easily controllable recoil makes the CARV feel more accurate than it is. Its cone of fire is still insane. It's not a "hold LMB for chain headshots while moving" gun.
guarantee that it's TR for all the cheesiest kill methods
I'm more interested in seeing the spread.
Do VS maxes even use weapons other than the blueshifts?
Many of them have started using Comets because they are basically Pounders with no drop and even more burst damage.
>basically pounders with no drop
technically they're pre-nerf pounders with no drop
Lol, shiTRs you are getting more and more ridiculous every day
What are the "MLG sooper exclusive club" outfits of memerald?
AC, dasanfall and recursion probably
Who knows how many of them will still be playing after battleeye though
once they fixed the deadzone, the 2hko pounder was the greatest weapon
