there is work arounds for that, no shooting in or out of the warp gates bubble like original PS.
Just need a few other to keep it from becoming and mess.

Automated Warp Gate defenses like the ones they showed us in the time laps video, the sky lance, get to close to the gate and you get fried, also make sure you have a reverse that you can't just simple move back and forth across the bubbles threshold to use it as a shield.
That one kind of really annoys me from PS even if I have utilized it.

Plenty of other options we can put into play.

its called baserape. but ps2 will it take it on a new level of baseraping. Not capture a continent is indeed shit, whats the purpose then? Never ending fight , all right i have no problem with that but purpose? even one round in bf3 have a purpose, is to win that round. but in ps2 it will be a never ending zerg fight and at the end baserape the enemy empire warpgate. not good

Does anyone know what vehicle is this? Role?

It reminds me somewhat of the Lightning tank...
Looks more like a ANT to me....dunno how you would get a lighting out of that picture when there is no canon or rail gun. But I guess you could say a rough sketch leading toward that way.

At first I would have agreed with you, but consider the most likely scenario:

You push the enemy all the way back to their foothold, and your forces start to mass around it. Snipers are watching all angles, grunts are patrolling back and forth with darklight to make sure infiltrators don't get by, tanks are shelling the foothold shield as a deterrent, and air vehicles are providing overwatch.

Sure there may be a few lucky enemies that sneak past the zerg and attempt to take back a capture point or two, but they'll be quickly wiped out. As fewer and fewer enemies are able to resist in any significant way, the entire enemy faction will warpgate out and essentially the continent will be yours.

It's not a true "win" condition in that you get points or an achievement or something, but Planetside didn't have that either and it was the ultimate rush to finally wipe an enemy faction right off the map.

you could capture continents in PS1 , that was the achivement. it had a purpose to fight for.

Exactly. There was no official "achievement unlocked!" banner or anything, it was purely the satisfaction of fighting for hours, days, or even weeks and finally capping the entire continent.

I largely think PS2 should be the same way -- a kind of sandbox in which to pursue your own favorite goals and achievements.
