Hearing Matt say they are adding weather storms for maps got me excited. Sand storms, Blizzards, so forth. Will add a new element to this already great and further improving game.

[ProcyonAlpha]

I play this game every night and Really looks this good, can't wait to play Esamir tomorrow!

[THEREDDRAGON]

Looks AWESOME! - - I'll be sure to bring some hand warmers

[Liveimprov]

Looking good! I'll be sure to make some videos that show you around Esamir and outline the differences it offers to gameplay. Great work!

There are a lot of other ways to get keys.
1) You could follow SoE (or some other PS players) on Twitch where they often hand out keys
2) You can follow some of the developers on Twitter, they hand out keys to people who they find interesting
3) You can look for keys online (some gaming sites hand out keys etc.)

Hope this helps :)

Yes! My outfit ALWAYS played on Easamir, and my unit liked to call itself the "New Conglomerate Arctic Response Unit", or NCARU.

Heck, I played it for a couple years. Only reason I stopped is that my friends all moved on to the new hotness (which at the time was City of Heroes btw). Worth noting though, that we always came home to Planetside eventually. From what I saw, balance was never really an issue in PS any more than in any other game. At first glitches and constant 1gb patches were. And then as a result, lack of population became an issue once it was fixed but so many felt burned already and never came back.

No, if you check Matthew Higby's stream on Twitch, you can hear how he talks about the new continent. The bases have different designs, there are fewer of them, it will never be dark on this continent and stuff like that. But yes, there will be a lot of open fields and not a lot of trees on Esamir, we have to wait till they add the next continent for the cool jungle that will be more unique.

That scythe at the end summarizes the entirety of VS strategy.

Try the tweak guide posted in the forums, you can see a solid increase in FPS. Also forget what longmachao has said, the game is not yet optimized. They still have alot of AMD optimizing to do. Heck not all the optimizations even got into the latest patch as evident by the recent patch notes

[needforcycling]

The camo's you're referring to are just your individual vehicle/armor/weapon skin bedazzled in matching camouflage colors. I'm talking about a different design that would be more fitting for the weather. It is a futuristic game so i'm just going to assume that their current design has some kind of thermal to acclimate them to whatever climate they're exposed to.

[Timithos]

The ground textures might not be finished yet. They weren't for a while on the Indar continent. We still have plateau tops with unfinished textures.

[pontifexaurum]

the thing i'm looking forward to in this game is patrols.

a bunch of friends soaking in the sights as they walk around a hotspot, occasionally wiping out some enemies, or being wiped out and alerting other squads to their cause...

Yeah, sounds brilliant.

[Baleur]

Have you ever seen a polar region? Most days it's incredibly clear and crisp, precicely due to the cold air. Water vapor rarely if ever create fog like this.

[xbasz]

Awesome! Now when I come back inside from the -30c winter of Finland and start playing Planetside 2, I won't even notice I came back inside :P

[Mindwerkz]

Dark Age of Camelot is a 3-way. It seems to be doing fine after 11 years now

[gloky.]

they are not sending keys based on registration, only if you enter contests, submit fan art or get one on the Twitter. "Mail based" beta keys, will be sent out just arround 2 weeks before release

[weterman]

no, you just have to aim at the target. the bullets do not always go where the crosshair is because that is realistic. but if you are aiming at someone, you will hit him.

Finally a person who can talk without a single curse word in his comment, thank you and thank the Lord for that you came. + I know what Beta is, I meant it in players' case, I've played the BF3 beta and I was disappointed, though I liked how they fixed it all for a matter of 2 weeks
