I'm going to post this elseware too but we're hoping for a giant Planetside 2 turnout this Friday night at 9pm on our Teamspeak. Fire up your game early and update it. Also add as many people to your friends like as you can.

If it doesn't fit, you must use Lube!

I talked the GF into downloading the game last night. I said the magic words "Free to play." This will be interesting as her only FPS experience is screaming and running away from spiders...

This could be the best ever. If we get enough people we should run two squads so we have two squad leaders to spawn in on, way points, attack squad and defend squad.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

I can run the second squad if you would like. I have a few unlocks in my squad leader setup including squad spawn point.

I made rank 34. Should be able to hit 35 before tonight if I get out early enough.

Wanted to mention this to you Friday Night Mahoney regarding the Thanatos Shottie. I use it for CQC no slugs and aim for the head. It is devastating. If you go body/crotch shots it takes way too many hits, but if you aim high it destroys them. I might throw a laser on it to see if it makes firing from the hip worth it. I am just not looking forward to having to remeber to turn the laser off like our damn headlights.

I have heard a few guys say they use it with slugs and put a 4x scope on it for medium sniping but I havent tried it.

Bringing this one back.

I'm thinking of dropping BF3 for this.  Quite honestly (at the risk of sounding like an arrogant douche) BF3 has become... too easy.  We should probably be playing competitively at this point but none of us really have the desire to do that.  To me its a game... not  a job.

Just about everything from Planetside 2 carriers over from BF3.  The gameplay is near identical.  The scale though is what we're looking for.  Now, I understand 6-8 of us cant defend an entire facility by ourselves against a zerg but the idea of trying, at least, sounds fun.  The sheer numbers game will offer us a much better challange.

So I loaded the game up last night for the first time in a few months and two things bothered me:

First being the framerate.  I cant seem to get over 35fps while in a fight. i7 920/GTX570/6GB RAM.  This really isnt playable like this at all.  Does anyone else have this problem?

Second being no toggle zoom.  Its very uncomfortable for me to have to hold down the right mouse button while at the same time burst firing with the left.  I think it causes me to grip the mouse tighter making it slightly more difficult to move it and aim fluidly.  I read online it can be enabled, but I dont see it anywhere in the options.  I'm not blind am I?

Other than that.... anyone up for playing?

There is a toggle zoom... but you have to edit one of the cfg's or ini's.  Google it...it's out there somewhere.  To get a better FPS you have to tone down the draw distance.  It's in the same ini or cfg...again google is how I found it.

EDIT: Found this

Quote
You may have already done this, but you can manually change your draw distance via your useroptions.ini file found within your PS2 directory folder (steam).

Maximum distance, afaik, is =3000, all depends on your PC's capabilities.

EDIT2:  The zoom toggle is also in that file:

Quote
[General]
AutoDetectPerformanceSettings=0
ZoomToggle=1
MouseSensitivity=0.410000
InvertVerticalLook=1
InvertVerticalFly=1
ReduceInputLag=1
FixedMinimap=0
Profanity=0

I modified the ini for draw distance and it didnt help much.  I think it got me up to about 40fps. 

I'm gonna look for the toggle zoom though ini fix.  This should help ALOT.

Czar definitely had a frame rate issue that he fixed with the method described by Decepticon. Essentially you need to modify one little line that describes how far out you start rendering objects. They are in a period of serious patching lately, though so your issue may be fixed on its own. There is only one real downside, high air bombardment with the Liberator's massive cannon. Typically tanks and sundy's (That you are hunting after in that loadout) render before infantry. Just don't set it too low to avoid not seeing the tanks from a safe vantage.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.
