Higby Wants Your Thoughts on Iron Sights for FPS.....

[Xyntech]

I think Planetside had a good balance between tactical and arcade, but I felt it was a little weak in both.

I'm hoping that Planetside 2 will make the tactical elements more tactical, and the arcade elements more skillful and fast paced.

Still keep a similar balance of having both being viable and balanced against each other, but make both more satisfying and detailed.

For me, Planetside was a great game over all, but a lot of the details were lacking. It was made up for by other details that were really well done and by the overall game being such an amazing experience, but I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

Of course, it's a delicate thing, because if you change one little thing, it can mess with the balance of everything else. I think that the PS2 dev team is on the right track, sort of ripping the entire thing apart and then adding back in as much of the original game as makes sense in the new system. You need to have a cohesive vision to balance something like this. Hopefully they've made the right decisions on some of the big controversial stuff, like tanks.
