Oh such intense artillery! Look up, and just a bunch of capsuleers with hybrid charges.

[walmartian]

that is why it is so addictive because you do alot of planning and thinking about how you're gonna spend your SP, and there are long discussions on the mic about different fits.

[knickknock]

also defining the strength, intensity and scale of each orbital bombardment depends on the ships assigned to make the bombardment in eve online, so say you had a cruiser, a battleship and a dreadnought, a cruiser can fire tactical precision strikes while battleships can fire tactical bombardments and the dreadnought can incinerate an entire base area, possibly in the future even destroy key positions in the battlefield, but i believe its much harder to get a dread to fire rather than the other 2

not everyone plays cod. there are people (like me) who would enjoy a game like this alot more than BO2. in cod you grab a gun and spray anything that moves. in this game you need to use stratagey and cooperation to achive a goal (like in tf2). trust me, this game will do very well.

Paying is completely optional and most times you can unlock most of the in-game content through in-game currency earned through gameplay. TF2 has the drop system and achievements, Tribes Ascend has XP, League of Legends has IP. Everything is available for entirely free pretty much, you just have to work more for it.

You're probably right, the maps are going to be huge. From what I heard, one continent is going to be 64km2; however, the map is going to be separated by a hex grid which factions have to capture and control. So, there will be specific points on the map where forces are going to be more concentrated. Hopefully, we'll see.

[poisonousmushrooms]

Yes the Developers have gone on holiday recently and should be returning to work soon pumping out new content/patches/updates/etc. Also I have heard they are wanting to add racial variants to weapons/armor to add more variety. And Remember. This is a FPS linked directly to Eve (an amazing mmo). It has never been done before and is making an opening for a whole new genre of FPS. It has a very supportive community and I believe it has a very good chance in final production days.

[buccaneer]

Yep. It's real-time between the two games. Players on Dust 514 can call for orbital bombardment buy players on EVE and it happens instantaneously. The planets conquered by players on Dust 514 instantly go to the players/corporations in EVE that hired them. They don't transfer them though however.

It's still in beta, but the new update integrates EVE and Dust.

[BigDaddyGoogle]

Planetside 2 is an persistnt world MMO FPS.It will have thousands of Players per continent (A continent is a huge 8 km2map, no loading times, 3 continents per server).There are 3 empires, the Terran Republic, the New Conglomerate and the Vanu Sovereignty.The gameplay will be about gaining control over the map by capturing outposts, facilities.The facilities give you resources and let you spawn vehicles.

[TrueCoolGuy]

Finally the beta looks more like the beta in this trailer, still a few bugs to work out and there are a few missing effects but now its far better than what the beta was before.
And it only gets better from here. :D

[Infernus]

What it is is an MMO-FPS. Meaning its an FPS game which has a social interface of an MMO with actual clans and levelling and skills an such rather than clan tags and perks. Its also co-existing with EVE Online for PC, whose players are behind air support in the game.

[southpawo]

The beta was pretty low quality a few weeks ago, but I've gotta say, it's shaping up to be like this video, and when it goes live I'm betting it'll be there.

[Xercodo]

Not yet but it is connected to SiSi so far and will be having more orbital bombardment testing as it goes. Afaik the open beta is in January.

[Ischmac]

@u all people from Eve who all are wondering "why can u just use the small weapons for orbital bombardment?"

That's because if you actually shout one from a dreadnought (or Titan), you'd nuke the entire map (see the fanfest trailer "Eve online- future vision")

And a doomsday weapon would only leave a huge hole in the ground where moments before THE BIGGEST map of dust 514 was

[jayquanify]

It's going to be 48 players at launch, then later on the will add 128 players. The devs said they might go further depending on how the Playstation hardware grows.

[prototype]

After playing for a bit I thought it was after seeing weapons that you could only buy with real money then I really started playing and it's all equal ground, there is never anyone who is overly powerful because they bought their equipment. it's a pretty fair game.

[DinoCorpsHunter]

Actually its bigger just not in map size but theres semi-free roam of the systems and thereswith 70 thousand planets to fight on each planet divided by districts which are divided by maps with eventually playable moon battles, gladiator arenas, drone survival/bounty mode, etc. in the future.

[buccaneer]

Eve battleships can bombard installations and eventually do other things. Players from Dust 514 can attack Eve Battleships as well.

You have to repeatedly buy new weapons and vehicles. They don't respawn. If destroyed, they're gone.

There are skill points as well. You're supposed to specialize in one specific field because they say it'd take like 7 years to max everything out.

It's a risk but the payoff is great. Pay a mercenary company x amount and you can get a planet delivered to you.

[DinoCorpsHunter]

Actually i played both and dust 514 has far more to offer than just big battles and playercount.In Dust 514 ONE soldier can change eve online forever.Glad i got PS3 and PC

[vivereinfinitus]

It's an intense, complex, and sometimes frustrating at times. Overall it's a great game that will usher in a new era in the gaming industry.
