Re: Instant Action E-Sports and PlanetSide 2

This E-Sports stuff is garbage. It takes development time away much more important things, and even the e-sports scene won't take to PS2 being their team-based shooter, as it is an MMO and lacks a lot of the mechanics that makes high-skill ceiling shooters competitive.
Just like when WoW PVP first went into E-Sports tournaments, less people would watch that then a single person training in League of Legends.
The only reason MLG partnered with SOE is because SOE threw so much money at them, otherwise the game would not even be mentioned in the same sentence as E-Sports, ever.
E-sports by it's very nature is small-scale, teams of even numbers, fighting in a controlled environment with strict rules in order to score points. This goes against much of the draw of Planetside 2 which is huge scale and chaotic battles. Such a waste.
