[@Shadowhawkdark]

Looking pretty annoying they locked the NSO faction to being level 20 on other character on the test server...especially since they don't let you clone your normal characters over :/ Don't feel like dedicating a bunch of time to get access to testing material just to get access to them on the real servers likely moments afterwards.

[@AokiZeto]

i see that most of long range weapon have either higher minimum damage or minimum damage going father than theyr conterpart in other faction

[@kaltonian]

I am soooo looking forward to picking up my arms again after a 3 year break, the changes that i can see look awesome, but this time i shall be using the keyboard rather than the joypad which never done me any favours infantry wise, so i for one am looking good forward to the new reviews

[@ProjectPhysX]

Great to see Planetside 2 going strong despite it being such an old game. Superb work by the devs!

[@CAMIKAZE78]

It's amazing to see how much effort is being thrown this game after all the years, they are doing an excellent job all things considered.

[@ChopSueyyy]

6:03 I REALLY hope that they´ll change some scopes before release. The way that they are now, combined with the bulky weapons, you cant really see much through these scopes. Also, the dots are a bit too big for my taste, otherwise its really nice to see that all weapons seem to be balanced.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

The 3.4x optic is for me the only one that needs some major attention, with the dots on the standard reticules being made a little smaller. After that, I think we'll be on the right track for sure!

[@tranvinhnhat1289]

I’m actually liking these gun designs. They are very similar to NC counterpart.

It's really nice to see the game continue to be updated, helps bring back old players,,game is too unique to die out

[@TimberwolfCY]

Lots of interesting stuff. As I said elsewhere, love the aesthetic of the new gear. Happy they used the 150 dmg model on a good chunk of the weapons, and honestly I think the 143 to 15m is a really nice and different compromise to just increasing raw dmg output. Def gonna be grinding my robotman profile for a while after this comes out. Thanks for the update Cami!

Anyone else think that devs should try and make every single vehicle in the game thats not faction specific be made faction specific. The Sundy, Lightning, Harraser, Galaxy, Liberator, and Flash should get reworked and made faction specific. What I mean is make a different and unique version of the vehicles for each faction. That way the three factions are TRULY different in their own ways.

[@MrDemomanman]

That's what we should have had instead of the NSO from square one

Hi , I'm heavilly hyped by what i saw here , as an NSO main ( i've got only 1 character tho ). The weapons looks like more competitive than the ones we got here , but will those be only for NSO , or will they be available to all faction ?? that is my only question today. How many time do we need to wait for this NSOverrall to be out ??

[@olyabigboobs]

Only NSO as I know, but I can be wrong

All the new NSO weapons are NSO only, so these are exclusive essentially! Hopefully not too long a wait now!

[@starwarsguye1152]

Some of these weapons look sick but I’m a bit bummed ab how bulky/clunky they look and also how similar they all are in design. I was hoping for a bit more to change between weapons like we have with the current models for the other factions. Further, the 3.4x scopes freaking suck. So so tough to see thru them. I hope they fix that a bit. Otherwise, the performance of these weapons seems to be promising and I’m excited to shoot them on live!

[@Eqcrw]

I’ve wanted autoburst for so long! The SABR should have always had this!

i like these NSO mercenary characters design i was sad that it only for Premium account but it become F2P when update goes live...and i got no outfits so...i would be a freelancers.

[@legionofyuri]

I noticed they don't discharge empty bullet cartridges. It'll probably be fixed later but it's kinda jarring seeing it outside of Vanu guns.

[@jafa1361]

Is it just me or does all the weapon's look the same

[@silxer3154]

They all look very similar with slight variations in size and patterns, which honestly isn't too odd compared to the other three faction weapons since most of them look fairly similar too (especially the Vanu weapons).

[@MrTBSC]

about the same thing with the other factions like first generation weapons ... about the same looks accross all types just with slight variations, 2nd and 3rd gen weapons had stronger variations compared to their 1st gen conterparts ..

[@suddenshotty]

They all use the same style with the parts moved around.. they are supposed to be generic models since they are the base model for the faction

[@CAMIKAZE78]

They all have similar designs, which is very much how all the other weapons in the game designed; based on each other with the intent of creating some faction aesthetic.

[@WitchDoctor87]

I have to say those 3.4x scopes are terrible. I like a ton of the weapons, the pistols will shine for ranged killers. They have some amazing max damage.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

I really agree on the 3.4x optics, they need some work and needed to be thinned out a bit. Overall, the weapon design is exciting to me though!

[@WitchDoctor87]

@@CAMIKAZE78 yeah exactly my feelings as well. It's more the walls I feel is the problem. For me I think they should look at the NCs 4x scope on snipers. The NC 4x for me is the best example of a very well done mid tier scope.

[@BoomchacleV0]

I think that they need to be a bit thinner. Also, if the red light thing could be configured to flash green on an enemy or red on a friendly, it would actually make sense to exist. Or, it could be configured to glow red when looking at an enemy.

Very comprehensive stuff, good job. One thing I noticed that was missing was some kind of faction-specific heavy weapon like the jackhammer or mini-chaingun. Not sure if you haven't covered that or if they simple don't have one yet. Not that they need it, seems like they've got some special weapons already.

Damn! Those collimators are just pleasure for my eye... I wonder whats comming for directive weapons xDD The Rocket launcher with underbarrel shotgun?? (man, the good old joke about NC directives never dies)

[@pliablegalinstan6564]

Just an FYI, you glossed over the fact that the SG-100 actually shoots an extra pellet than normal compared to most other shotguns albeit at the cost of a minor decrease in fire rate. Another thing worth noting is the unusually large CoF decrease on the shotguns when slugs are added. Who knows if it is a mistake and will be changed when this update hits live as it does seem a bit excessive.

So no new Bolt Action sniper rifles? Just stuck with the original one?

[@thunderhammer7]

Considering that the NSOs were designed to be a SUPPORT faction, I am concerned about the weapons seeming to be upgrades to existing weapons or tied with high-tier weapons. NSOs ignore their support roles already in favor of pure slaying (on PS4 at least) and this will likely exacerbate that problem. I wish that NSOs would have deliberately worse weapons in CQC to push them to a medium range support role for whichever faction they are supporting. Maybe give them better tool slot items (including rocklette and rocket launchers, to counter vehicle zergs) to double-down on that philosophy. Reducing their reserve magazine count might also aid in the reduction of their slaying potential and increase the number of engineers in the process, or make ammo belt a more viable upgrade path instead of the infamous nanoweave armor.

[@AMDeZani]

I feel like we’re looking at different arsenals. The NSO arsenal is definitely lackluster at closer ranges and pushes them out to longer ranges with low fire rates but very comfortable damage fall-off ranges.

Robots have superhuman powers, so they should be featuring the hardest hitting weapons. Those weapons are silly. Besides the NC Maxes shields need to be larger as well!

[@HPmcDoogle]

I am vehemently an anti-NS puritanical, but i thoroughly enjoyed the flavor these guns have. Compared to the point-and-click standard NS weapons we have on live right now, these weapons feel more like a faction has, with actual pros and cons. I have to say, i would *kill* to have a pistol like the Harbinger on TR as a replacement for the Commissioner and Underboss. So far out of the entire selection of weapons, i love the XMG-100, AR-101, BAR-200, Lastly, Harbinger, and Recall. They're all so comfortable to use. I do have a few concerns though, *what in tarnation* is that massive green triangle for a 1x. That is *terrible* but aside from that, the 1x yellow and red are pretty solid. The Default rocket launcher definitely needs a remodeling, you cant see a good 60% of the screen when aiming, and the carry handle for the LMGs waves around right where your crosshair is and is a huge distraction/obstruction. The guns themselves look kinda bland, but i guess it fits the strange robotic look of NSO. Will definitely be auraxing this new arsenal when it goes live.

Am I the only one who really doesn't like all this NS stuff? Having the same super average weapons available on all factions, and being able to just flex into any faction without having your character actually be part of one - it just whisks away so much of that sense of faction identity that the game was built on.
