Gamespy has up a new article and interview with Matt Higby. In it they talk about everything from flight mechanics to scale.
"Do you whittle down an empire's resources before you attack so they won't have as many tanks? Do you try to take over a region behind an enemy base so you can flank?" Higby asked. "It's a level of complexity that comes with these massive maps and the territory-control system. It's deep strategy, but you can also just be a soldier on the ground, going with the flow and thinking, 'Oh, shit, I'm in a 300-person battle.'"
Check out the full article here.

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2? Also something I've never noticed before, but on that map in the last shot, there are 75 contestable bases on the map, unless I miscounted. I am happy with this amount. You can see which resource each of them grants based on the legend on the map. I don't know what resources are which outside Auraxium that seems to come from 9 bases. |

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2?
As for the article, I liked it a lot. I'm super intrigued in the flying aspect of PlanetSide2 and I can't wait to hear/learn more about it as we get into Beta. Edit: And yes, that picture had me staring like if I was walking past Ms.Alba. |

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2? I sure do hope that the Beta starting time is pure speculation, however I have a feeling it won't be. Perhaps he means Open Beta? |

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2? Has anyone scrolled to the bottom of the PSU forums to see the list of active users today? THAT is how big PlanetSide 2 is when it's not even playable. With a little help of PS1 free time. |

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2? Great article. I had heard about the using of joysticks for flying, and eventually will get one down the road. Definitely not gonna be a pilot though. I'd rather be bombing the people in the back of a Liberator

Re: Gamespy: How big is PlanetSide 2? Must play. I can't believe how incredible this game keeps looking. I'm so glad people finally are giving it the mentions it deserved since PS1 was released. |
