Also, do voice comms activate automatically in a squad, or do you need to have a dedicated teamspeak/vent server?

check out the keybinds in game, there are in game voice coms, but the quality is rubbish. We just use mumble.

I spent last night on top of buildings in unlikely spots with a LA Sniping in the midst of a massive battle. The LA is actually a decent sniper with a mid range scope fitted.

Nobody ever looks up! yeah change to single fire mode, suppressor so you don't show up an map and pop away!

Seems alot less randoms on coms than the beta i find.

Hi folks, I'm playing on the US East Coast server Mattherson (latency is perfectly fine, honestly) as VS with a nice bunch of guys ( Prox12.com no need to signup, I haven't yet anyway but just giving the info if you want to look around ), mostly from the US but we've a few from Ireland (well me and another 2 people I think) and some from the UK also.
You're more than welcome to join us at any stage, would always have a full platoon of 40 and sometimes we end up running 2 or even 3 full platoons, depending on people stepping up with Squad certs to throw down platoon way points when required.

Everyone is usually online from around 4pm Irish time until around 6am Irish time the next morning (yeah we're that bad). We're not a mad hardcore type of outfit demanding this and that, everyone is welcome, we all just enjoy the game and organise ourselves really well via TeamSpeak.
There can be a bit of swearing on TS, especially when a full Gal gets mashed or something but that's to be expected but it's not that bad, just saying that in advance in case there's kids here.

I met these guys via GW2 when we played together on Henge server (US) and our organisation there along with or alliance with other gaming clans helped our server nearly always be top of ratings.

We mostly do a lot of organised platoon runs, taking bases etc., and there's huge amounts of certs and experience to be got.

Nothing is required of you, nothing is expected other than to have fun playing along and if you can, to keep up with the organised platoons when we're capturing the maps.

My name in game on Mattherson is ooo and feel free to send me a /tell in game if you do happen to come along and I'll shoot you off an outfit invite so you can join our platoons at any stage if we end up locking them down to outfit only. Main platoon fills up quickly though, even in US off peak hours, we're a full 40.
All our Sunderers/Gals/Libs/Mags are more or less all maxed out with best weapons/loadouts or whatever so it helps a lot with the organised runs.

Eh and we also don't just do that, there's times like last night were we had 30 Burster Maxes out and 10 engineers just destroying Air everywhere, for about 4 hours, was amazing fun

Couple of the lads in the outfit stream live too, not sure who though but there were two of them streaming last night anyway according to the TS chat.

TS info is in the outfit MOTD and MajorEssex (Clan and outfit leader) usually never stops talking, and eh cursing at times, but he's a nice guy - he'll shoot you off access to the PlanetSide TS channel when you join as a guest, usually within a few minutes.

The game itself, I hated beta, really upset me coming from PS1 for so many years but I've really taken to it now at this stage and absolutely love it.

A general tip to improve your FPS, don't forget to "unpark" your CPU cores. Search around on google for free tools that can do it for you, just a registry setting change but it gave me an extra 20+ FPS in game with custom Ultra settings (and SweetFX running until SoE banned it's use) and a steady 40+ FPS in massive battles. Basically it just stops your CPU cores from going into power saving mode, which is stupid, but anyway, save the planet from an extra 5W power or something

Weapon wise I have them all unlocked but I always end up just going back to the Pandora shotgun, nothing like an automatic shotgun to the face and great for shooting from the hip too, reload time is a bugger though.

Only wish there was an option to reset your cert points spent, I've made so many mistakes, like buying laser sights and extra magazine clips and then realising you can only have one or the other on your gun at a time, annoying that is.

Anyway, feel free to send a /tell to me ooo and join up with us. No need to speak on TS if you don't want too, I don't myself as I need to get a new headset. Organisation in this game, especially with good comms, makes all the difference and a lot more fun too.

This is what I've been doing so far:

Step 1) Join massive tank zerg.
Step 2) Push all the way to the enemy's biolab
Step 3) Park all the tanks and go on foot.
Step 4) Get pushed all the way back to your biolab by the new enemy tank zerg.

Repeat.

thats official ?

Will be getting some fond memories from bf2142 if it is

Is it possible to use multiple attachments?:/

You can use one of each type per weapon.

Just reinstalled after the beta. What server is everyone on ? What faction also? TR ?

Got a new scope and new gun for my TR heavy assault guy. The scope is really useful it shows the backround as grey and enemies as white.
