Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming MMO-shooter sequel, PlanetSide 2, will apparently feature gigantic maps that are approximately 8x8 kilometers in size. (That's just over 4 square miles, for us Americans.) Furthermore, the game's maps are being structured to support competitive shootouts between unbalanced teams. To get a better idea, it's possible to encounter a scenario where you and about twenty or so teammates try to defend a base against an onslaught of around 200 attackers.
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
too small for me:-(
