Interesting. I'm glad they went back to continents.

// I still can't figure out what I'm looking at in the second picture. Some bases surrounded by water? Looks promising.

Re: just found these two pics on Tony Park`s blog


EDIT:

I went to the actual site, downloaded the large picture, THEN flattened 'er out with GIMP. Click on the 'nail, then click again to get a full-blown pic.

Looks like different base icons, one looks like a chemical tank with a hose going to and from it OR a battery with a cord and plug coming from it, one looks like multiple smokestacks on a factory, another looks like the top view of a tank or a stylized castle, a la a rook in chess.
The central base zigzag symbol reminds me of the electrical engineering symbol for an electrical resistor.
And, like someone noted later on down in this thread, a warpgate in the water! LOL I didn't even notice until I read down further that the round things were warpgates!


4km maps. How big are the ones we have now?
Will there be a gigantic megamap, but where we only see/map 4km at a time, a moving display, as it were?
Water, water everywhere, but is there a drop to drink/boat on/swim/submarine under?
Biospheres? How are biospheres significant, as opposed to just saying "terrain" or "environment"?
Planetside2 Massive Warfare seems to be the name. Sony has this domain name www.planetside2.com and it just redirects back to a Sony page.
Notably, planetside3 domain does not go anywhere.

In case others didn't notice. Here's the large full versions:


Right click view image on the second image and zoom in with ctrl+ and you'll see factory images. (Tech plants?) There's also things that look like power plants. Meh might be just placeholders.

The possible waterfall sounds nice. I bet we can extrapolate the whole game from this one image.
Enhance!

If that is accurate...

Biospheres would probably mean putting desert, hilly, cyssor and forest into the same map. (seems like it on that map too)

4km x 4km, isn't that... the largest map size of BF2? Although most of its maps were more like 1km x 1km of playable are 2 x 2 on the bigger tank/air maps.

I would amend his slide with "Pretty big" instead of 'Massive'. :P

Oh yeah, and is it me or does that look like some one drew it on a napkin in 5 minuets scanned it and photoshoped some crap on it? That bottom base looks like a cup of coffee also...

The text is even more interesting.

Met with the SOE partners in the United States; very excited because they told me new developments for Planetside Next: the content of the game is good, andthey feel the original name no longer suitable. They officially changed its name to Planetside2. Bring you more news later.

I notice a few things:
  • Warp gates: likely no single massive map
  • 4 base types; factory, swirly thing, crate and a teapot.
  • Faint lattice lines shown
  • Possible tower spots designated (look at the raised plateaus in the NE for what I am talking about)

Now my questions:
  • What the hell are the base icons?
  • What are the icons in the water?
  • What is the logo in the bottom right corner?
  • Hossin?

That's what's called a compass rose. See the arrow and the "N" in the centre? It tells you which way to orient the map or, at the very least, which way is north.
