While I'm all for PC and console players being able to play games together (any game) the only way it'd work is if everyone uses a controller (or if console players are able to plug in M&BK or something).

I'm expecting either them to start focusing on PC development once PS4 is released, or they're going to have to bugfix PS4 a ton and draining PC development time. After all, PS4 is 'new' and is more likely to bring in some cash as new players buy lolpods at BR5.

Bugger. Might have been just what the game needed for a bit of a revival. I actually do know people who are really good at FPS games on a gamepad.

I could see a huge fleet of BM'ing, C4ing PS4'ers filling the skies with inane chatter and random flash flip competitions being quite amusing. Maybe not what the game needs, but possibly what it deserves.

Still, I'll look out for the youtubes that will inevitably be everywhere.

Do you mean hit the enemy? Because just a single tank can cause a lot of damage against your own side, gamepad or not.

It will be interesting to see how the game pans out on the PS4. Everyone has the same hardware. Everyone has the same (horrible) controller setup.

Things that weren't all that great in the PC version might be king on PS4. Non-moving infil sniper camping, lock-on rockets, auto-shotguns and the return of the ESF "jet" style combat (rather than heli-hover-jets) all may go up in value. Who knows?

It'll be interesting to find out.

So I picked this back up after not playing for a few years, just curious if there are any must-have cert investments nowadays, not really sure what to buy towards.

What faction are you playing, and what sort of style of play do you prefer?

A 2x NV scope for your gun is never a bad investment. Maybe also a normal 2x reflex and a 4x for a bit of variety.

First level of nanoweave or AV resist is a great buy for any class. More levels if you've got the certs.

Medikit and grenades, level one or two.

Then a level or two in whatever it is that your favoured class does well (repair/medic/cloak/etc).

Certing 1 nice gun can be worth it too. Just pick a 250cert gun that a few classes can use. High capacity SMGs are ok to chuck a laser sight on too if you've got the certs.

How many certs do you have/ what class(es) do you normally play as? Do you like tanks or flying?

IMO you get the best return on investment by certing up medic tool and rez grenades.

Also repair tool. Depends on which you like doing more, I guess. Getting ganked by infiltrators and light assaults or getting blown up by maxes and explosives.

I was thinking on re-installing this and playing it casually. But I'm already doing this with Dirty Bomb, but I miss absurdly chaotic and huge battles.
Is it fun currently? I played post-launch and it felt...terrible, but the fights were so insane I kept playing nonetheless. And it was horribly Pay-To-Win..  :(

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Personally I'm probably not going back until they implement a bunch of stuff they said they were going to implement a long while ago but didn't get the chance to with all the bugfixes and implants they had to make... Things like resources need to be revamped to something like what we used to have so that each territory has some value, the whole 'redeployside' thing needs to be reworked (and there have been a few attempts from my understanding). Adding a ton of squad/platoon/leadership options would be amazing, anything to promote squad play really.

Well... i have 1200 certs after they gave me returns off all my vehicle scopes. Now i'm kinda wondering what to do with them.

I could pimp out my Prowler with a vulcan or AP.
Or add extra money into my sunderers ammo restocker... or buy a pump action shotgun and pray i can hit people.
I also could try the archer because hey it seems fun.
