[super pretendo]

Are you fucking kidding me?

This really dashes my hopes about the game. Hopefully such kiddie trash will be kept far and away from the fun persistent game itself. But I predict the game will eventually be balanced around it due to the asymmetric exposure that compartment of the game gets, and then PlanetSide will slowly die due to being just another generic esport shooter, and no longer tapping the MMOFPS niche that it currently has a monopoly on.

Why do developers consistently fuck up like this lately? Instead of being innovative and creating new things, they just copy what has good numbers ad nauseam and add a gimmick.

We don't need another CoD or battlefield; we already have those games if we want that kind of experience. We need a planetside.
