Planetside thread
Big update gentlemen, DX11 is out and people can actually play at 60FPS on moderate toasters in big fights. Fourth faction bots are here and everyone is creating exclusively robot pun names, statpadders galore because fourth faction machinesTM start with the NSM-15 and other NS weapons.
Planetside 2 is now advertising again, and combined with the MASSIVE performance enhancement across the board (shadows on ultra at70+FPS with a 1060) there are retarded BR4s everywhere for the killing. The game is now heavily populated again even at 4AM for those of you who contemplate suicide every evening.

You missed out and there is no getting it back.
Not gonna have much fun without a whole bunch of fags with you, and even then it will be suffering way too often, horrible grind if you want to get into some specifics things (vehicles and maxes are the biggest culprits).
If you're ok just playing infantry you don't really need to grind too much. Then you add the implant layer fuckery look forward to grinding hundred of hours of poorfag points so you can waste it all on random packs of useless implants just in hopes of getting the meta builds for the classes you play, but you could always get lucky so I guess it makes it ok right? The economy is solely designed to milk completely unreasonable whales.
>Dirty Bomb
They are keeping it going as long as there is "enough" people playing and discontinued all development, so you probably have a year or so to get in, barely touched the thing but there was an active group here.
>Warthunder
Three thousand hours later you will question your life and after 40 years of meditation in the desert you'll realize you will never be as broken as that game.
It's enjoyable at tiers that do not require much grind and in general I'd say more enjoyable at lower tiers, only gets full on retarded once you've reached tier 5 and above. Gaijin are top tier kikes and while they used to laugh at WoT for their prototype/paper only tanks abuse they are doing the same exact thing now but years later. Arcade is trash, realistic and sim are alright, ballistics can be broken beyond belief and shells will magically disappear. Russians will fire one shell through twelve thousands layers of bushes and kill you on the spot, you will fight post war MBTs with HEAT-FS on your fucking Koenigs.
It's trash and you'd be better off playing Steelfury Kharkhov or some other tanksim, but you don't get to bully people in those games. You might get chat banned for a week or two but never got an actual account suspension (fuck wargaming) ever since the game was in beta making it a viable salt mine. Forums are gulag tier.
They are also making jewish larpers pay actual shekels for chosen tanks. One of the biggest issue is a common one, they keep chugging content but do not fix what is already existing. Map design is already pretty bad for quite a lot of them.
Can't say a thing about Atlas Reactor but none of the others are good games, Dirty Bomb could maybe get a passing grade. Just play good vidyagaems and don't fall into those lifesinks.

>Is tankfighting still turbofucked because of stealth flashes that kill you faster than a MBT with AP rounds can?
Yes. Vehicles are dead in this game, the primary issue stems from the TTK. The TTK for almost all AV weapons is nearly the same across the board, meaning nothing deals much more damage than anything else.
A default rocket launcher shooting at the back of a Lightning vs a Titan 150 AP only has a difference of about 8 vs 6 seconds, marginal at best. At the front it's about 13 vs 10. This extends to almost all AV weapons. The one and only thing in this game that has a noticeably faster TTK compared to other AV weapons in the entire game is C4, which kills any MBT in about 2.5 seconds while all other AV weapons hover around 8-15 depending on weapon, direction of hit and resistances.
What this means is that the only downsides a HA has vs a MBT is that:
1) He's not as tanky, but he can still survive a direct AP or HESH hit with overshield.
2) His rocket launcher's projectile velocity is lower when it comes to dumbfire launchers. The G2G lock on is faster than a tank shell in projectile velocity, to my knowledge.
The HA's upsides are:
1) He is a MUCH smaller target and can fit almost anywhere.
2) A HA and rocket launcher are free, meaning you can spam HAs all day long. An MBT is 450 nanites and if you lose one, you have to wait ~3 minutes. If you lose two, you may have to wait 8 or more minutes.
3) In open areas with a lock on launcher, the HA can have a higher effective range and more consistent damage than anything equipped on a tank versus infantry units.
The primary issue with HA is that HA is the most popular infantry class, which results in 5 fucking HAs shooting their rockets at you at all times. But HA is not the most deadly AV class, that is in fact Light Assault with ambusher jets. A LA with ambusher jets is near impossible to hit and can zip from cover to cover without any concern, being near impossible to hit and they can carry 2 bricks of C4 which can kill any MBT, even if they miss a brick they have a rocklet launcher to just spam away, which also has equal TTK to a default RL.
The only thing that can fix this awful state is a return to Planetside 1's inventory system, where you must make a tough decision between being a human tank, an AV specialist, a machine gunner or a explosive specialist. You cannot be all at once.
A halfway fix in PS2 may be combining the rocket and rocklet launchers into the utility slot, where the medkit is located, forcing you to trade being a AV character or being a infantry fighter.

Indeed.
May I also note how infantry gameplay is completely fucking stale in this game?
The meta has been the same since ~2015, it is universally agreed by everyone that when it comes to automatic weapons, 167 damage per shot and 600 ROF is the optimal choice. This is why guns like the Anchor (oh by the way the devs gave VS A FUCKING ANCHOR THAT JUST HAS A BETTER SELECTION OF ATTACHMENTS HAHAHA XDDD THANKS WREL) have been the go to choice for all tryhards and HAshitters.
High ROF, low damage weapons (TR) get fucked because of FPS and rate of fire being tied to one another, low ROF and high damage weapons (NC. AC-X11 and Gauss SAW) get fucked due to nanoweave armour resistances which make their TTK the worst in the game for bodyshots and below average for headshots. VS of course gets 167/600 everything in all categories with little recoil and no drop off, and reddit VS players pretend no drop off is a disadvantage.
Secondary weapons? Oh, the Commisioner has been the undisputed king of all secondaries since its release. 6 shots of 450 balance per bullet. Very epic huh, it can even 1shot infilshitters, has great hip fire, great accuracy and great TTK. They "nerfed" it with a higher draw time but nothing actually changed. All the faction specific secondary weapons are SHIT. No one uses them except masochists.
But what about infilshitter? No change there. The meta choice has been the short range, fast cycling bolt action rifles for also about 4 years. Because the head hitboxes are so fucked it's easy to click heads and nigger around with invis cloak. Anything gets close just spam your fucking commish. No aim no brain but free kills.
I will also comment on ESFs and them raping infantry all day long without care. The ESF meta is the same too, everyone just farms infantry with A2G cannons that rape everything and hover over enemy spawns. Infantry can't do anything against them because they just fly away when they take any noticeable damage and pop fire suppression that restores like 30% HP to them in a second. Thanks wrel, you fucking ESF shitter faggot. Did you know it takes 6 fucking G2A rocket launcher rockets to kill a ESF? Extra HP armour + firesup means that it takes over 20 seconds of shooting rockets at an ESF to kill it and the lock on time is like 5 fucking seconds.
What about Lightning AA? Well for starters it can't even fucking hit ESFs or libbies at their max altitude and it has shitass damage and velocity. Libbies can just duel a AA Lightning head on, just shoot at it without concern, kill it and have 10% health to spare. It takes 2 MAGAZINES of Skyguard shots to kill a Liberator. You NEED 3 AA weapons grouped together at once and shooting vehicles in coordination to kill any air vehicle, that is how shitass this game's balance is.

You have 3 main character types ,Firepower,Frontline and Support
4 stages for a turn,Dash,Prep,Blast,Move in that order
and you have abilities that active in given stage
Abilities have a few mods each,ex:wider arc lower damage or opposite
Turns are timed,you select your actions for all stages and press ready,then all things start playing out
If someone dodged in his dash stage your blast wont hit because it happens after and so forth

im guessing none of you actually played planetside 1, or know why that game was so good, and why this will always pale in comparison, or why it will remain a flop.
- in Planetside 1 you could completely design your own soldier. In this cheap knockoff you are stuck with a fucking class system. which means you will never really be able to build a character to suit your true playstyle.
- in Planetside 1 you could loot the backpacks of fallen enemies. So, while doing a holdout or participating in a seige, you were literally subsisting off the resources of your enemies to continue the fight, it was fucking brilliant.
- There were no headshots, sniper rounds took 2 hits if you had armor, and Almost nothing insta-killed except for Direct hits from Tank rounds and being run over. This meant it wasnt about who saw who first, or who had the flavor of the month weapon, it was about who had the skill and calm to turn the fight to their favor.
- There was actually a sanctuary homebase where you could fill up your locker with stolen enemy weapons & ammo (lockers were available out in the field too), and take your stolen vehicles. You could also buy vehicles and coordinate there about which continent you would hit next and how. There were also vehicle trunk favorites, so you could stock your vehicle with whatever the situation called for. More max ammo? More Tank rounds or secondary gun ammo? More ACES (engineering deployables) whatever you could think of that was purchasable from a terminal, you could save into a trunk favorite.
In Planetside 1 you could have advanced medical (rez ppl) advanced hacking (jack vehicles) and advanced engy (place turrets, mines & remote charges) all in the same character - tho you wouldnt have much left to buy weapons or vehicles, but that's fine, because you could be that guy. We all experimented with builds and found what worked best for us, we werent stuck in forced roles because they were too inept to give us that freedom.
Command rank actually had a purpose (emp, orbital strike), and you had to be successful in battle to achieve it. Being a groundpounding grunt was actually fun, and not the meatgrinder it is in this game. If you were skilled you stayed alive and people learned to fear you.
Instead of having to zerg every indoor base battle, you had options. You could sneak in and destroy the spawn tubes. You could destroy every fucking thing in the base and drain the power, you could go in with a crew and drop the generator. You could cut off lattice link benefits to the base you were attacking to prevent them from getting key base benefits.
YOU HAD OPTIONS
In planetside 2 you die because you were caught out in a build not suited for fighting and it just feels out of your control.
I could go on and on. Ultimately they had something special and they'll never recapture that magic.
you can't make planetside great again if you don't have the faintest idea what made it great in the first place.

one time on Oshur (whatever that desert continent was) , a base we'd literally been fighting over for over an hour goes neutral, no ntus left. Everyone is coordinating to bring an ant. Looks like we have We had 3 ants inbound. 2 driving in, 1 via galaxy. the first two blow up to all the fucking mines they put in the CY. the galaxy drops her ant, she's pulling into position but barely deploys before someone takes it out with a decimator, we all think it's fucking over. But with like 10 seconds to go on the hack some madman pulls in, clips about 3 mines but somehow makes it and deploys for a few seconds before he gets destroyed. The base Goes Red. we get all that sweet fucking battle and command xp. But the base is so fucking damaged that the ntus drain out almost immediately, and goes neutral so we put the hack on again. The NC are so demoralized they only put up a half hearted fight, so we get another cap of near max xp. that was a good day. i wish recording software wasnt so shit back then.

Political shitflinging is probably the laziest way to get people upset and it's so commonplace that you can't avoid it. I'm under the opinion that stormfront ruined 4chan and that them astroturfing both /new/ and /pol/ played a part in this whole shitshow, which is probably going to get me slapped with one of 8 million boogeymen labels tbh.

Honestly the only thing they'd need to make it be at PS levels would be to make bases rely on nanites instead of those gay deployable minecraft bases shitting up the maps, which they should've done in the fucking first place, making heavy assaults not have a fucking overshield, rocket launcher, light machine gun and heavy armor. Jesus christ what were they thinking, and also have inventory spaces like the first game. But honestly, if they just specialized the classes more instead of making them fucking retarded win conditions, then you wouldn't need the inventory shit.

Midair was a gutted version of Tribes 2 with nothing new. I'd advise just playing Tribes because it's still free now and there are people playing it.
War Thunder is decent if you have to play one of the Slavic gacha wargames. It has the most variety and the most wacky/fun vehicle mechanics in general. It's not balanced, but it can still be pretty fun. WoT is a sterile and soulless game filled with camping, I'd recommend avoiding that one. It's both unbalanced and unfun.

Reavers and later BFRs really hurt Planetside 1, and ESFs have been a constant point of contention in PS2. The common element is the unusual amount of speed and firepower placed in the hands of one person. Single-person vehicles (outside the very smallest things) are a mistake.

My outfit with 2 active platoons fought out of a drained base from an AMS we were desperately protecting. We had a few tanks left, a few MAXes, and the rest were infantry. We held that fucker for around half an hour through intense fighting.
Finally one of the other outfits rolls over the attackers from another base and when they rolled into the courtyard and saw our tanks covered in hundreds of bullet holes and scorches they were like "what the fuck…" My driver knew how to keep a tank alive, holy fuck.

I think it just depends on aspect ratio. Most players dont seem to know how to use the corners well. Sorry if you are still 4:3. The rifle damage does fall off to min beyond the max range at the corner of 1920x1080. It does like 1 dmg and slows you.
Theres still going to be rng but I think of it more like a dnd dodge rating when you have cover. I mostly either do logi, fortify, howi team it, or suicidal vehicle shit to blow up fobs. lot of fun. Frontline can get boring but for me its more about capping shit anyways

Well it's still in development, isn't it? From what I've heard they only recently got the capture mechanics working. I think once they get further along they could make a real push towards growing the playerbase. It'll never regain its former glory but there's still some hope there.

Yep. Instead of moderating the game (which requires labor) they use proprietary anti-cheat software that hooks into the Windows kernel and spies on every single process and memory region in your computer so they can make sure you're not running any bad goy software, which has the fortunate side effect of making the game impossible to play over WINE.

I don't know if its still like this now but back in the day it was filled with powertripping boomers and tryhards who thought they were actually the police.

A friend and I play APB every summer as some kind of cursed tradition. It's the most visually cancerous game out there due to the amount of customization. The autismal people who live, breathe and shit the game always play short, skinny female characters that are mostly naked or wear skintight, neutral colors. Why? Because if you play the game at any setting above "literally looks like it's made out of clay", the shadows are broken as shit, and they can hide around corners and in shadows. Every character has the same hitbox, but if you're short, you can crouch down behind a car or short wall, and the other guy can't see you unless you mouse the exact spot they're hiding and see a red crosshair. The people playing the game also have some kind of unhealthy obsession with Monster Energy drinks. They cover their characters, and cars with Monster logos and paint everything that sickening shade of green. Oh and the game lets you create a little jingle your opponent hears when you kill him. Everyone makes samey sounding generic techno/house music, then they jerk off over it, and sell it for insane amounts of ingame cash.
The gameplay blows shit because there's no headshots or damage multiplier zones in general and the movement is wonky. If someone gets in your face with an SMG, and you have a mid-long range weapon, you can't possibly hope to out-skill him by hitting headshots to bring your TTK down or anything, you can try to dodge or ADAD strafe him, since the characters don't need to accelerate to reach full speed, but you're still fucked if he's not retarded. Best you can hope for is for him to miss, or the terrible lag and hit detection to favor you.
It's a terrible fucking garbage fire of a game. I lovehate it.

>Oh and the game lets you create a little jingle your opponent hears when you kill him. Everyone makes samey sounding generic techno/house music, then they jerk off over it, and sell it for insane amounts of ingame cash.
My friends and I had an "ear-rape" theme consisting of very loud, rapidly alternating high-pitched noises. There also used to be a glitch that allowed you to save a song as a death theme, meaning you could remove the 5-second limit to the theme and have it play as long as you want. We increased the time to ten minutes long. The best part of this was that the themes would stack if you killed people multiple times within that ten minute window.
After about a week of this, and a thirty-page-long forum thread of people complaining about the issue (we weren't the only ones to do it), GamersFirst announced that they had patched the exploit out of the game. However it turned out they were lying, so we continued using the ten minute theme for another week. After even more complaints they announced that they "hadn't realized how bad the issue really was," and then actually patched it out, so sadly that exploit no longer works.
APB was the kind of hilarious trainwreck of a game that's impossible to hate because of all the unique opportunities it presented. You could create funny or offensive customizations and nobody could do anything about it. You could force people to listen to eardrum-shattering music every time you killed them. Before the G1 1.5 patch you could drive around the city out-of-mission and ram other people's vehicles into walls until they exploded. You could camp the car spawn and do the same, watching as desperate players repeatedly spent $50 to respawn their car after you destroyed it again and again. The game also actually had some quite good features; the character customization was (and still is) some of the best and most comprehensive I've ever seen. The environments were fun to be in and the concept was really cool. Sure, the core gameplay was an imbalanced, untested mess, and as you pointed out many of these systems could easily be abused - but many of my fondest gaming memories from the past ten years are from the early days of APB.

I played a lot back in the G1 closed and open beta, and if you took a dump truck, started pushing people, and if you hit them against the little bump of the sidewalk they'd instantly fucking explode.
Anyways, new publishers ended up buying G1, and they're already doing better by actually talking to the community and giving progress updates on the new engine, making balance changes, and even putting out a new mode soon. it's battle royale dogshit
Well, it's more like Squad Deathmatch from Battlefield, but with limited respawns
Anyways, it's fucking magical that APB has somehow lasted for nearly ten years, and I hope it doesn't go away soon.
