Sounds like SOE is using MLG as a marketing feature instead of a full-blown partnership.

Well yeah its a marketing ploy. But I imagine its also a full fledged partnership like any other mlg participating game. This first show is just a primer.

Aye, we obviously won't be seeing any real event until they implement the competitive components into the game. They haven't even changed the ingame camera yet.
Until all that happens it's just a way to advertise the game to new people. At least that's how I see it.

Yep certainly is. With a huge potential viewership almost weekly you can't argue that it will have an effect on the game. Get ready for lots of new players

serpion · 2013-03-30, 12:20 PM

Can't wait!

kidriot · 2013-03-30, 01:38 PM

Believe me, I'm all for it and look forward to the show on Sunday.

New players is good business and good business means more support for the game and that's a good thing.

New players don't mean a damn if they leave after a week because of the bugs. Fix the game first.

No reason why they can't do both.

Worse then that.. NO TUTORIAL ! They are making one in.. May? Thats if they keep to the current roadmap

People who watch MLG FPS are your typical COD kids so going into a game that actaully has mechanics you need to know and think past clicking LMB they will leave in droves without guidence.

Indeed half of the newbies will quit because there is no tutorial. This game desperately needs one for the new guys.

Phantomdestiny · 2013-03-31, 07:06 AM

for my understanding this war report is suppose to be an introduction to planetside for the cod crowd . therefore i would imagine that they would introduce the planetside 2 concepts through the presentation.

Selerox · 2013-03-31, 08:45 AM

Yeah, we need to attracted the pro-wannabe CoD kiddies. Because we really need people like this in PS2, don't we?
We need a tutorial system in the game now. We needed one in December, we need one now.

Not just a tutorial, but a full tutorial system covering all the important aspects of the game. Start with the core stuff. Then once other parts are ready, add them in when possible.
