Well, it's not exactly a deep gameplay reveal, but it's better than another lore snippet! What the heck are we talking about? Why, the latest PlanetSide 2 press release of course. Sony Online Entertainment has dropped a new screenshot on the masses, and the exciting image is accompanied by a wall o' text from creative director Matthew Higby.
Higby spends a bit of time telling us about the Terran Republic, which is one of three warring factions in SOE's sci-fi shooter universe. The Republic is a professional military organization, and as such its members are equipped with weapons that "have the fastest firing rates, largest ammo capacities, and are generally designed to allow for maximum sustainable damage."
The Terrans also have two unique vehicles at their disposal. The Mosquito is "an extremely agile attack aircraft" and boasts the highest top speed of any PlanetSide 2 air vehicle. The Prowler tank is the fastest empire-specific piece of heavy armor, and Higby describes it as "one of the deadliest vehicles in the game." Check out the full article at the official PlanetSide 2 website.

These non-gameplay updates are like torture.
And to SOE what I mean is: I am so excited about this game that I just want to know WHEN. WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?

These updates remind me of DCUO updates, dry and tasteless.

Since TR are all about speed and fast RPMs, The mosquito fits in the faction more.
I am thinking that NC and VC will have their agile crafts too. Different weaponary, i predict.

It would be great if this game does well. PvPers need a place to hang their collective hats.
They are too spread out playing games that are PvE first, PvP as a second class citizen.
I say that as a PvE player primarily too. I think it's just wrong a company hasn't made great games for PvP players as well.
It would go a long way towards healing the PvE vs PvP fanboi battles that usually happen if just ONE company can do this.
God, I hope this game or Prime:BFD or even Firefall catches on.
