I hope so. I always thought they should make tank drivers fat.

I played a little yesterday and quickly remembered why I only bother with biolabs.

New patch is pretty fucking good. Light assault can really wreck vehicles now and the new jump jets looks really sweet. I didn't feel like I died to some bullshit vehicle assholes but maybe twice.

Make sure you use the code PS2WelcomeBack for a free gun and helmet.


EDIT: That new sniper rifle is frustrating, if you're running in a straight line at all and they have any semblance of head tracking you're dead.

Where's the patch notes?

EDIT: Oh shit they finally stole the SW:Battlefront jump jets like I suggested a year ago. Time to play this game again.

Definitely a step in the right direction, for the first time since launch I'm actually excited to play when I have free time.

Wrel might be making some good headway towards getting a his where it needs to be. Hopefully it'll lure back some players.

They destroyed the only fun parts of the game. Won't ever come back.

Harassers were OP as shit and hard to kill, I still died a lot to them last night. Zooming around fucking infantry up. Libs were also very strong, I think people just have to learn how to re-use vehicles that were previously shitting all over everything.

Battles seem more fluid and I see less tanks sitting off in the distance picking people off without any worries about being killed.

Seems busy but my 5 minutes of play was nonstop instant death to snipers. I might log in now and then and see if there's a good biolab battle going.

I had issues with that new sniper when I was at tech plants, all those fuckers up high would just pick you off as you ran for an objective. I'm sure it'll calm down once the new wears off.

I did like that I could go toe to toe with heavies now if I got surprised and didn't get off tons of headshots. I think this will be really good for new players, seems more based on skill than shields.

Those new jump jets are crazy, had so many people ambush me that I didn't expect. I need to unlock them and try them out.

Havent played this in years. Is this ok to get back into now? Or does it still suck?

I think it's still fun and they just put out a massive update that brought everything in line for more cohesive gameplay which I think improved the game but some disagree.

There is still nothing like this out there and it's my go to arcade shooter if I want some fun FPS action.

So I played almost exclusively as a reaver pilot in PS1 and had a lot of fun supporting battles as CAS and dying in the a2a fights when not running with an escort or being overwhelmed. At release, no matter how hard I tried I could not get that experience to replicate in PS2. Spent most of my time nearly dying to ground aa to be picked off by a2a when backing off for a repair without being able being able to have any sort of real impact on the battlefield (maybe 1-2 kills per strafe/death).

I'm sure things have changed a lot, but PS2 definitely seemed more ground focused than balanced equally or air focused. Has that changed?

Air has dominated for a long time now, they nerfed AA against ESF's sometime after launch and now the Liberator is almost un-killable from the ground after this last patch.

Might be worth looking into now but I have no idea how PS1 played, so I have nothing to compare it to.
