Big guns as in rapid fire, or big guns as in they hit hard?

They hit hard.

The main battletank has the biggest gun. it fires a 150mm HEAT (High Explosive anti-tank) round.

The go-to heavy weapon is the Jackhammer, In PS1 the Jackhammer was a combat shotgun with a large ammo clip, about 12 rounds per, though you only needed two or three shots to kill someone.

An ideology which has kept important values (honour, brotherhood, duty etc) strong throughout the ages and pushed the human race to the highest mountain it now stands upon. OR....

A loose terrorist organisation who are so selfish, they wish to undermine everything the Republic has achieved just because they don't like the way things are run even though it is best for mankind. Their values are cowardice and selfishness.

They call themselves human but wish to rely on alien technology to win wars. This means they are weak and cannot win as a normal human being.

Choose your faction, this has no bias at all

The NC are a bunch of corporate lackies who are fighting against democracy, in the name of freedom.

The Vanu are a weird melding of dickish technophiles and religious fundamentalists.

The Republic is a stable, democratic society that has run earth for centuries. I know which side I'm on.

Heh. From what I read, the Terran Republic is democratic in the same sense that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was democratic.

You are correct Melissia, that is why the NC want freedom!

P.S. the current infiltrator class can hack terminals, use a sniper rifle, and a pistol, and has stealth mode, which kind of sucks in PS2 compared to PS1

Man is a race which has built itself up from barbarism not through Social Ideals, not through Physical perfection, but through Technology! Why have we developed the technology, learned to harness the engineering of those who came before, built upon it, increased it, perfected it, but to allow ourselves to reach a pinnacle mere biological evolution and Natural Selection cannot achieve?

You're still going to die, but at least you'll die as a human being, which makes you better than Vanu.

I think we can all agree on that.

Well, except for the Vanu, but who cares what they think?

Planetside 2 rocks.

It has been quite some time since I played Planetside (the Original) and I have to say the new aircraft controls are quite strange. They will take some getting used to.

The only thing I really do not like is the Stealth suit. They messed the Stealth suit up. It used to be Awesome in PS1, but now it is just Meh.

Is there any way to change your weapons on your Max suits?

and what is with the jump pack guys? that will take a second to get used too as well.


The stealth suit isn't bad or messed up at all; it's just much different. The cloaking itself is actually very effective, you just need to think about it more. Unlike in Planetside 1, you're actually still very hard to see if you move while cloaked, you just have to think about when you use it. The role of the Infiltrator has changed; you're meant to take a few sniper shots, cloak, and run to another point. Then you do it again. It's also an amazing escape tool. They will be introducing other cloaking devices, like ones that last longer but you are more visible, or one that replaces the sniper rifle altogether and works like the PS1 cloaking device. You probably still won't be able to cloak and shoot though, which is a good thing.

You can change weapons on MAX suits at equipment terminals. You can buy new weapons later. Light assault (the jump pack guys) are pretty much exactly what they seem like. More mobile, lightly armed and armored, and you actually need them to do some base assaults. Getting into certain high places is much easier with them! They're also wicked fun to play, and with C4 they're a great disruption class.

I got to play on Esamir last night, and holy crap is it head and shoulders above Indar. The map is gorgeous, the actual battlefields are more open and varied, and it honestly felt like Planetside 1 but better in every way. The game is really shaping up to something great, and word is that they'll be adding sanctuaries and some other good old stuff in before long. The only problem is that Esamir is too damn purple right now! Fighting against both NC and VS when you've only got 15% pop isn't easy!

Is there a way to make the game use more system resources? It's only using one of my system's cores... and the game's an unbearable slideshow right now :/
