Competition???


How will there be any? I mean, you can have "outfits", but how can you REALLY compete???

And yes, before you ask, Im referring to Tribes2 competition... how would competing "outfit vs outfit" work, if even possible?

Don't think of it as outfit vs. outfit combat, think of it at empire vs empire combat with skirmishes between many people/outfits/armies.

And I'd suppose if you REALLY wanted to you could try to find a very secluded mountainous (most people probably wouldn't go there) region and stage one there

Your on the same empire as your fellow outfits. So.. your not competing against other outfits. Your competing against an entire empire.

There will be no outfit vs outfit stuff because you dont even know who the other people are most of the time :]

i think they mentioned something about a highly integrated website.

where you could check stats, rankings, who controls what on which server, things like that. kinda like what bf1942 does.

personally i think abit of civil rivalry is going to not only occur, but also be an integral part of the game..... their is no greater motivation for success than that of beating your foe's particular outfit, particually if they have had special mention on official websites etc.

Who here can honestly not seeing themselves hunting a particular outfit in an opposing empire for the pure glory of it?

I think Afex nailed it.

There was a little persistent state game called Jumpgate that had one of the first great MMOG stat sites. Through it you could compete for top rankings in any number of stats, from net worth to kills to insurance rating. I'm looking forward to seeing if Planetside integrates similar (or better) web features.

maybe for inter-empire rivalries they could setup a "match" system in the VR area.

like:

it'd be just like a new continent. the only people on it would be either of the two outfits fighting. there is one large building/base thing in the center of the continent.

each team spawns at the edges of the continent and have weapon and vehicle stations in order to get gear. everyone on your team is bound there so if you die thats where you respawn.

they could play it like "First team to hold the base for X minutes" or something to that effect.

probably needs alot more thought to it. and i dont even know if its that good of an idea, b/c while those two teams are duking it out, the other two empires have an easier time capping shit in the "real world"
