Like Risk...but with headshots!

I thought planetside 2 was chess? I like the idea if risk better though.

I'm from Florida, Before they cancelled our beloved space program we shot holes in our Ozone layer for fun.

Also on that note: There is NO HART building at Cape Canaveral. There is however several hundred armed and angry men.....and a detention facility. (It was very clean)

More like Rock Paper Scissors with a saving throw and 20sided die.

Don't ask.

Trolltaxi · 2011-10-28, 11:56 AM

No, you are all wrong. PS is like sex, fun even alone, but even more fun with others! And lots of them...

Feel free to moderate if you want, but you all know I'm right.

hence the "win" scenario. if you don't give the kiddies their false feeling of being satisfied, the game will not be very populated.

And this is why I'm not sure we should attract the CoD crowd. I think we'll have enough players if we attract the slightly(read: very slightly) more mature Battlefield crowd.

From my brief experience on the BF3 forums for the beta they aren't any more mature.

Aractain · 2011-10-28, 12:49 PM

Do you think the original Planetside player base was more mature?

Bags · 2011-10-28, 12:59 PM

Much.

with the exception of Mike33 on werner , I'd say overall much more mature.

I like how they are comparing it to Risk in strategy, but not how Higby stated: "“It feels about the same as shooting a gun in both games, but there’s a lot more to do, and there’s a lot more possibilities…”

It feels about the same as shooting a gun in both games after he mentioned COD? My god... my god...
