    i would have prompted for this in one of the already plentiful ps2 threads but they didnt have the proper scope.
    __________________________________________________________________________
    SQUAD OPERATIONS, PLANETSIDE 2
    __________________________________________________________________________
    this post is half survey, half mission statement. i would like to create a group for playing planetside as a squad with other empiresmod community members and friends thereof. if we get enough people, perhaps even playing as a platoon.

    an operation is a time and date that we all get on to the same server, same faction, and assemble to do pretty much whatever in the game. these things include: camp stuff here, camp stuff there, play silly minigames, help out the zerg, ghost cap and play against the odds.

    just in case you might not know, ghost capping is going away from the main fight and setting up around the enemy's perimeter and capturing their unguarded bases. it's easier to pull off than going at the enemy zerg head on. also, it's fun to try and manage the situation as the enemy's alarms go off and the fighting escalates

    one silly minigame that i made up during the game's alpha was called warriors or exfiltration. just like in the movie, the objective is to make it on foot from deep, deep into enemy territory back to a friendly warpgate without respawning. this makes for a particularly large quantity of lulz and is actually quite exciting.

    anyways, back to the point. we'd use a ts3 server to communicate on and then decide on what to do, form squads, have an initial briefing to introduce people to standard protocol and then get to the action. i'll be adding more info later if there's interest.

    by the way, i was often a squad/platoon leader in the enclave from alpha to release and even a month or so past that. the most effective and infamous organization to play planetside 2, the enclave has left the game to play other ones. i enjoyed the style of leadership there, but do not seek to replicate it entirely.

    I'm not too sure how this is exactly different then bj's thread. I'm pretty sure that was the aim of the game when bj made that thread, it was just started out simple because no one knew if there was people willing to start new on a different server. Regardless, once that vote finishes, we'll know what server to be playing on and I would be definitely be up for some ps2 shenanigans.

    Edit: mean faction, don't know why I keep saying server.

    all of the faction stuff is pure hype, this thread ignores it.

    Planetside 2 is more trouble to install and get functioning than most printers. Whoever implemented Awesomium for PS2 should die in a fire.

    This. You'd expect a game to work after installing it, particularly after nine million patches.

    Thing still crashes every 15-20 minutes. Tried playing today myself and i had to restart about 5 times before i gave up.

    I don't know what you guys are doing wrong, I played this back on my 450 nivada card and only had 3 and half gigs and I was able to play it fine, the only crashes I got is when you can't close the client properly, and the crashes back from the beta patches.

    Are you trying to play this thing on a toaster or something?

    Oh I forgot, if you have Avast on it sometimes fucks with the patches you either update avasts clearance thing or you just turn it off while it patches.

    If your prosieben based, it may be easier to download planetside and add it to steam rather than steam direct.


    Now im not saying the thing runs like a fucking cloud, but even lower end pcs are able to play even with shitty frame rates.

    I played it for like 3 hours, I was bored to death. I suck in tripes but I still had more fun playing it than ps2.

    It sounds nice, shame I'm on a different server and too lazy to reroll.

    You played alone as a noob, of course you didn't enjoy it that much.
    I'm sure if you get a squad of friends to play with, it becomes a lot more fun.

    WaltzingWillow on TR.

    Lazybum on vanu.

    Both of them are on matherson. I guess you decided on TR Bitterjesus? Should update that thread you made if so. Sounds like a good idea anyway, what with vanu having so many extra players half the time.

    I usually sign in for an alert, play through the alert and sign off for the day.

    I'm somewhat inclined to agree with Destroyer, Saturdays are usually empire days.Wednesday would be cool though, or like Saturday mornings. Nobody gets in the server till like noonish anyway for empires.

    Saturday morning would be what time for you? 09:00 AM PST? I can work with that, just not within the week as I have to go to work.
