rant :)

I know I'm behind....

So I just found out that in PS2 the driver of the tank is also the main gunner.. WTF is that bull? Now drivers will never wait for gunners, because they don't need them anymore. The driver has a gun now. I understand they are trying to make it more "accessible" for arena FPS players so they can just jump in and play and do w/e they want, but this isn't an arena FPS. At minimum there should be an option to have the passenger be the main gunner for outfits and organized groups.

This small sh*t they neglect is what really grinds my gears. No vehicle enter/exit animations, no ant runs, no sieges, no jacking, no hacking/destroying terminals, no gen rushes, no main gunner seat, no insert more small shit they are leaving out here.

Disclaimer:I probably forgot a lot, some of this stuff may have changed since I last heard.

Why do I feel like they are doing what a lot of other devs have done to games and dumbed everything down so that it can appeal to a wider audience?

Maybe i'm imaging it, I hope this isn't the case.
/endrant

can't wait for PS2 non-the-less and anything that is really stupid and lacking i'm sure they'll fix during beta when we all rage about it.

If we are lucky there will be a cert that lets the gunner control the main gun.

Then does that mean a 3rd slot opens up so that the 3rd person controls the gunners old weapons?

There are sieges, there are hacking/destroying terminals, there are gunners just not the main gun, and some other stuff i left out

There's been talk of a cert that'll allow the gunner control of the main weapon etc etc etc. There's got to be threads on this somewhere.

The secondary gunner plays a vital role of keeping air vehicles off of the tank. Pretty much vital unless you want to die within 30 seconds.

The rest of it, at least to me, is not a big deal

1: They are adding a cert that allows your passenger to main gun.
2: They will probably add animation in a later patch. It will take 6 months longer to add them now.
3: There will be shield generators to destroy. Just not a main gen. And multiple spawn points and other points to capture.
4: This game is not Planetside 1 it is a modern remake of it. The map system by itself is a huge upgrade.

Don't knock a game you haven't Played

This thread will be closed. I am sure of it!

After seeing E3 I'm pretty sure that the secondary gunner weapons will be well worth spamming VNG (oh, excuse me, BNG :P).

There is going a cert that will allow you to give control of the main cannon to a "main gunner" in your vehicle.

Infiltrators will be able to hack terminals/turrets from what I understand.

Lol I wouldn't consider that hacking. More like holding an area. And I was more directing that at the part that said terminals could be hacked.

And I don't think they can be destroyed either.

PS1 Control Console Hacking:
Have to wait X amount of time
Unable to fire gun
Have to stand still
Can't be destroyed
Can't look around

PS2 Control Console Hacking:
Have to wait X amount of time
Unable to fire gun
Have to stand still
Can't be destroyed
Can look around

As for most of the other terminals I'm sure it's relatively the same. Except the be destroyed part.
