If you guys and gals are interested in your FPS on a grand scale, planetside 2 is launched on Tuesday, its a ftp model but you can pay for subs if you want some extra perks.

well ive had about 10 hrs of it now and im totally unimpressed. the maps in the main are all running around maps, the guns are weak or inaccurate and im getting my ass kicked left right a centre. i cant even stay alive never mind get a streak going. if i play nuketown i can get a positive score every time yet on virtually every other map im rubbish. it doesnt feel laggy but at times but i can see an enemy and bang im dead, if i get shots off im still dead. i hope this is a kind of lag but if it is it feels different to past experience with lag, (im on a 12 meg connection). very unhappy with it so far and can only enjoy it playing against robots and getting used too the maps. it seems to me that it is all geared up for fast pace players so it wont be for me i dont think.

I can see straight away why we both think differently of it ragjoy, I love the running around reflex based closed quarters combat, it's why I fell in love with the first modern warfare, and for me at least, it's what's been missing from the series since, I hate big camper style maps. I love the increased speed of the online game too, it's so much harder and much more of a challenge. I don't love the spawn system, it needs fixing, had the same problem on MW3 and other cod games, and it was always eventually fixed with a patch, so why they keep releaing a new games, using the same IW engine, and don't address the problem before release is beyond me.
I love the more objective based online gameplay, more people, including myself, are playing properly, for objectives on objective based games, instead of always protecting their KD ratios... MY KD ratio is shockingly low now, but I don't care, I'm enjoying playing.

I love the more objective based online gameplay, more people, including myself, are playing properly, for objectives on objective based games, instead of always protecting their KD ratios... MY KD ratio is shockingly low now, but I don't care, I'm enjoying playing. i struggle to make my mentality believe its just a game. by that i mean you wouldnt just run blindly at people in a real situation so why do it in a game. i dont mean my way is right or yours is wrong i just find it hard to get my head around playing that way, i know i will have to change it now as the game dont allow my method of either dom base camping or hard sniping, this doesnt mean i dont play run and gun because i do but only around 20% of the time. i feel they will kill any future sales in the numbers they have now because i dont think casual players will be able to play this and enjoy it. i do try too protect my KD but im not obsessive about it but im getting 5/20 whereas id be happy with 15/20s or a few positive games, in mw3 K/D was 2.1 and score was in the top 500,000. this was with a huge amount of hours. my reflexes are not up to this rushing game all the time, i can do a few games normally then have a game or 2 sniping depending on map rotation. im gutted really as i do like a few hours a day of it, its a shame they dont just have a mode where ghost is as it was, then they would know for sure what people really want. ive tried this league play and i think it might be better for me as its stat based so im not up against top players much of the time as its based on equal skills i believe. i only play dom really as it is not considered as camping if you are just protecting a small area.

alvo, i have just been having a read around a few forums and im wondering if part of my problem could be ive turned off aim assist in the main menu, have you got an opinion on this. It does help ragjoy, when people disappear behind walls, sometimes if you're holding the analogue stick just right (don't ask me how, lol) then the crosshairs will automatically track them, I've found this useful with fmj, as you can kill them through walls. But I don't use fmj any more, instead I use a silencer / suppressor and laser sight on the PDW-57 which is an SMG. The silencer is supposed to reduce the power of the gun, but I swear it seems to increase it, especially on SMG's. Of course this stops you showing up on the enemy radar when you fire, and decreases kick too, bonus. Coupled with a laser sight, so that you can aim from the hip with accuracy, no need to look down the sites, and you're all set for close quarters domination of the enemy. A few things I've found, lag, it has a much bigger effect on black ops 2, because of the increased damage it takes to kill somebody, so if you're suffering lag, you'll have a hell of a time, and it will look like people are killing you in a couple of shots, but if you watch the kill cam, they shot you loads before you died. It doesn't happen much, but when it does it's annoying. And the look speed/aim speed needs increasing in the options IMO, if you haven't already.

I don't have any secondary, and on one of my smg classes I have triple attachments, I use a red dot scope for the slightly less close quarters maps. I'm not great at BO2 rag, I'm really struggling to get a good amount of kills as well, it seems so much harder than the others, but that's one of the reasons I'm enjoying it so much, I really must add you, in fact, I'm off to do it now, you got any time for a quick blast tonight?

thanks again alvo, ive been trying multi style setups and they do work, well if you can hit anything that is lol. the secondary's look/are rubbish till you get the KAP (i think) but even that is pretty rubbish. i cant get on tonight there all watching xfactor right now, fridays and saturdays i have family here so dont get on much (wasting my double xp) lol. maybe in the week we can have a go, maybe i will have the chance too work the PDW up a few levels first.

just too say alvo, im now cooking on gas since turning the auto on. chalked up about 20 levels and the PSW about 10 levels. im now finding it playable, even have a layout with 3 perks and 2 primaries with a sniper as second weapon, kinda works for a quick camp then on too run and gun, then plot up on another flag and so on. not everyone's way of doing it but it gives my reflexes a chance too settle.

I know what you mean, but after a while you get used to it, even to the point where you find yourself being daft on the microphone just to fill the silence
