I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I think there are prefab buildings in PS2 where adding openings requires changing the art asset while closing them just requires using one of those generic 'plugs' they made that you see over some doors in familiar buildings. They would probably have to use something similar to BL-4 crash site (?) in order to make a new entry way. A lot of people are suggesting adding an entrance on the roof so organized gal drops/spawn beacon squads can get in through an area that's more difficult to camp and can force the defenders off of popular camping spots (Doorways, teleport rooms).

So, the onl;y way to 'simply' add new entry ways is to add more teleporters. Cutting holes in the lab either requires a new building asset, or for the individual dome 'glass plates' to be their own asset, and I don't know if that's the case. I can imagine having one of those 'plates' be destructible, perhaps even have a generator objective that makes them act like a force field? It'd make it so air could farm the lab though, even with how close the buildings are.

Good point.

That said, they've had two years -- it doesn't take that long to modify the assets. If that's not possible, they could at least design the teleporter rooms to give the attackers more room to attack out of them.

Or they could just shit on LA some more and remove boost pads, for some reason. *shakes head*
Edit: I mean, they could at least just make them faction specific, so only the defenders can use them. Then you could still attack out of the biolab with them, rather than just remove them entirely.

There actually used to be an opening in the shield at the very top of the biolab, leading to the top of the central column. They removed that for some reason.

I kinda wanna know what's going to happen after PS4 launch

[Toaster]

They'll reveal that they actually have the rest of Hossin ready, as well as Searhus, Cyssor, and all the Battle Isles ready to go in a PS1-style world map with continental progression and a war front that flows across all of them in a logical and meaningful manner.






Also Higby will suddenly sprout four more heads, each representing a different server, and they will speak for the betterment of all mankind.

When did NC get a 2-wheeled Flash? That's totally unrealistic.

You have to score 1000 turbo roadkills while airborne to unlock the empire specific chassis.

I'm looking at this game, how good is it?

[TolyK]

It's good if you run it well. Some flaws:
- You will die a lot in this game. That's perfectly normal.
- Strategy on the map is pretty important, so there's a bit of a learning curve from that point of view.
- You need to get acquainted with the game mechanics a bit before you feel like you're doing something useful. Just follow the tutorial, then join a squad and hot-drop into it and ask for help on "what to do".

Have fun!

I like PS2 a lot, but for new players it's rough.

I've read that there will soon be a sort of battle island for people under level 10 with new instances if too many people crowd in. I can't recall if it is on the Test server now or planned for the near future. It's being added for both the PS4 and the PC version. I imagine people will make new characters or accounts to harass the new players; a fair portion of the PS2 community is unfortunately pretty caustic. It still would be a better introduction to PS2 than the current live servers though.

If it's already on Test it may not be a bad idea to wait to start until then as it will likely be on Live within a month or so unless it needs to be re-done or something.
