Steam seemed to be pretty quick for me, I had the whole thing down in less then 2 hours, used log me in and hit it on my lunch break.

It's just past halfway, so I should be done downloading later tonight.

Is "Huge FPS with hundreds of people on each team" Spanish for "Run for ten minutes and then get shot by someone you never saw?" or is it just a coincidence that every such game is like this?

And is "Squad mechanics" Spanish for "You can have your name on a list that no one pays attention to?"

I'm NC on Matherson.  I can't remember the name of my continent, something with an E, it's snowy here.  Things actually got a little fun for a while.  We took some small installation from the Vanu and then the terrans came out of nowhere but we were pushing them back too when I crashed.

And now I can't get back in because the "server is full" (This is the worst thing a video game can do, server queues where members get in automatically).  There is apparently no one in the queue so I guess I'll just sit here all day while it thinks about letting me in.

DL says just barely over 90% now, so I should be finished soon. I'll hit up Amerish. Oh, and by the way, if anyone's having trouble finding battles, the map tells you conflict points, though it's not always the best representation of fighting. It is decent, though. On a side note, the little 4-wheelers (Flash) are awesome for getting around by yourself.

Joinned up with a small platoon, pretty much took all of Aremish back from TR, Indar seemed like it was in trouble so we moved over there, doing the same...

Lost all Communications, couldn't even hear others via Mic, relogged to fix problem and then got stuck in a queue..... Scratch  that, making ground now....

Is this not launched in the EU or something?

Created an account and now I can't login to the client, or the planetside2.com, I can only log in on planetside2.eu...

EDIT: apparently there are problems with the eu stuff...
maybe ill try again tomorrow.

No other people from Europe? Me and a medium sized group of friends started as NC there.
What's your IGN? ...I'm not in yet, but I might get to kill you some time!
Mwahaha.

So much for the servers holding up then.

Speaking of which, did they just die?

My ingame name is Cfoofoo.  I've been switching back and forth between Amerish and Elylulylon or whatever the fuck.

So, played for 4 hours and gained enough certs to unlock... a reflex sight.  For 1,000 certs a gun (5,000 kills)... I don't think I'll keep interested long.  At least until my Alpha Squad SC runs out... paying $7 for one gun is a little insane.  Defended PS2 all through beta as not being Pay2Win... but now, it pretty much is.  Case in point, swarms of Scythes and Reavers with store-bought rocket pods owning everything on Amerish.  Non-paying characters have literally no counter for it. 

Played PS1 for about 4 years solid, then off and on until the present... and it seems like for PS2 they put in less than half of what they promised they would, and all of what they promised they wouldn't.  Makes me sad, honestly.  I wanted to love the game, and wanted it to do well.  Don't see it lasting long, as I can't see any casual player paying $7 for a virtual gun, and I don't see them putting in two weeks of effort to unlock one.  You think they'd have learned from the GW2 and SWTOR F2P flop that the key part of "microtransaction" is "micro."  Buying all the guns and cosmetic items would cost more than a decent used car at the moment.
