Got this from the Commandrank 5 forums. Development Uplink – Exclusive Look at Deployables! You may have seen some of the deployables a few weeks ago but as we get closer to test we thought it would be neat to give everyone a look at what they may look like in action!  Aegis Cloaking Shield http://planetside.station.sony.com/images/features/devuplink/22307/aegisclose.jpg  Osprey Field Turret http://planetside.station.sony.com/images/features/devuplink/22307/ospreyfront.jpg  Tank TRAP http://planetside.station.sony.com/images/features/devuplink/22307/tanktrap.jpg We also mentioned that we would try to get you a movie, we were able to get one however it is a pre-production movie, and just a glimpse as to what the mount animation would look like in game. It will look much better in game, for sure! Turret Mount Video at http://planetside.station.sony.com/images/features/devuplink/22307/turret_mount1.mov - Raijinn. |

Originally posted by Goffin i'm afraid they are a little too late trying to bring life back into this game. 2 years too late For sure, the game was released in 2003 hit a peak in 2004 players started dropping in 2005 since then it spiraled down till now...2007. Like I said before they should be working on Planetside 2 with a new less buggy engine instead of wasting the time and effort with updating this game 4 years after release, years after they lost a lot of their player base. ------------- |

being a non-vehicle guy (sans bfr) ever since the AV buff, the new CE is just more fun stuff to play with frankly.
Just imagine putting up tank traps near a bridge, along with EMP mines+regular mines+spits+flak spits+a turret to take out enemies, say Gunuku bridge for example.
And b/c it's a new thing, EVERYONE will have them lol. ------------- |

Full list. Increase in everything by 5 if you get fortifications LOLZ
Personally, I can't wait for this stuff, this might be the best update PS has had pre-core combat.
One thing to think about...at least early on...a LOT of people will drop HA/AV/SA/REXO to use this stuff, adn just use MA. Which means pwnage for the higher BRS who use HA+REXO(or who prefer agile like myself).

some good, some bad...but unfortunately mostly bad. cloaked spits + flak spits + deployable manned turrets + upgradable base turrets = garbage. basically the only things i like on there are increased max for overall CE and deployable equipment terms. everything else is a massive nerf to air (flak spits, upgradable base turrets into flak turrets) and vehicles (traps, disruptor mines, upgradable base turrets into AV turrets). all this is gonna do is make fights last longer and longer. these devs should go back to evercrack and design some new magic staffs to stick up eachothers asses and stop messing with an FPS. -------------

| Maybe they should spend the time and money on fixing the bugs, crashes and sh*tty code rather than garbage content. |

oh my god...once i saw subscription fees i was like, oh maybe they are lowering subscription fees to try and lure people back. bullsh*t that they have higher bandwidth costs. they have been cutting bandwidth like its going out of style for the past 2+ years. its called subscriptions are at an all time low and they need to increase the monthly fee to justify keeping the game running. -------------

the more it is posted, the higher chance they will realise this will kill this game.
then again, most likely they will just watch it die and go 'What did we do wrong?'

Originally posted by Jbanicar Anyone else make more than 2 dollars a day? I don't think its the actual money that is pissing people off (I would find it hard to believe that $2 is going to change anyones living conditions), but mainly principal. They are trying to charge us more for a game that they don't give two sh*ts about, and that really shows how low SOE is. And then trying to pass it off as they have taken care of the came and its community only adds insult to injury. I will keep my account open, because I still enjoy the game for the time being. I think what SOE is doing is wrong, but I dont see it ending my planetside career permantley. ------------- |

Agreed w/ Stairway,
Overall the difference of $2 is very minimal. Hell, I pay $2 in tolls just to get to work every day but it's the principles of a game in which population, new content and bug fixes have been on the decline.
It seems SOE bends over backwards to get players to play (i.e., fodders) but punishes those who have been faithful in making payments for all these years. ------------- Baron Sengir, Ahriman Corps |

Originally posted by Jbanicar Anyone else make more than 2 dollars a day? the game isnt even worth paying $5 a month, what on earth have they done to justify a 15% increase in monthly fees? usually when the quality of your product goes down you dont increase the price. -------------

Well, I just see it as me not having bought anything new in the past several months, so there has been no other game expenses for me. And I have been extremely busy when all these new movies have been coming out, meaning no 7$ movie ticket (Departed / Smokin Aces, etc).... I agree that they have nothing to show for the increase, but they do have other games that while they to suck, are seeing development, not just PSide. Regardless, I just don't care enough to flame about it, because in the end, we all know Planetside isn't GOTY material (.... of the Year) so what is there to prove or disprove. yawn -------------
