A lot of folks are asking about combat, and I care about that, but I've got some more questions about large scale gameplay.
The reason I come back to Planetside over other FPS's is the large scale war. Back in '05 I played on a special ops outfit that specialized in taking down tech plants that weren't on a lattice. We'd hack in, wreck up the place, then turtle up in the gen room until the base went neutral. It was intense, and forced us to do our best because we had no real respawn opportunity. It didn't earn us many kills, and very little XP, but it would change the tide of the battle on the continent.
Is Planetside 2 planning to keep these sorts of special operations gameplay models intact? Are there plans to expand this model of gameplay, perhaps so rewards are justly earned? Or will we see a more streamlined continental battlefront that expects people to combat on the line of scrimmage?
