I found PS2 boring as shit. It was fun until the novelty wore off. Unlocking weapons takes forever and a day, and for "future" weapons they're all pretty bland and generic. Vehicles are fun, but BF vehicles are even more fun and BF looks and sounds way better.

Isn't PS/PS2 basically the posterboy for games that rely on micro-transactions? I can't see really wanting to play a game where you can buy yourself everything.

Other than that the game looks solid. Are the battles as polished as bf?

You practically have to buy everything. You can play for free if you can be content with just the basic stock weapons without even scopes, but the game is designed to make you pay.

You dont have to buy anything in Planetside 2. I was premium for a few months just to support the game, but I never bought things with station cash, only with points I earned in combat. I'm nearly BR60 and I have just about everything I need on all kits.

Yes, PS2 isn't perfect, guns are really generic but thats only because there is so much griping and groaning about any gun that isn't exactly like another factions gun. They do the best they can to keep things balanced, so every gun is basically the same power only the rate of fire, power or recoil is adjusted slightly.

Used to pay $8 a month for PS1... I wouldn't mind putting in around that amount for some small upgrades. Overall though its hard to get a subscription model to work anymore... would rather everyone paid to play but people are too accustomed to free now :/

Ya its true. The thing about F2P games is they are learning to offer more and more pixel packages that allow to skin stuff. Thats what a lot of people in PS2 do. Its going to make a fabulous model for EQ Next with so many things to craft, build and design. The number of looks, custom models or skins they could integrate into something like that would be enough for them to easily make more than a subscription game.

It really is a shame people don't want to do subscriptions anymore especially for such intense game design and content babysitting. I'd rather live in a world where people got used to subscriptions versus getting used to micro transactions. Those things are going to kill the gaming industry from the inside out.

I'm amazed how many good fps players come from that line of games especially since its point and click without any real aim etc...

I feel like if I'm going to spend my time spraying auto weps it should be on L4D2. Fuck I love that game.
