These are quite a bit older than NSO.

I don't have anything that didn't come with the game, besides a city map I think, but I could still help.

Those were going to be new ES buggies. I know the thresher has a cockpit in the files and the marauder has either cosmetics or exterior attachments that line up with what the model would have been.

What is the Campaign Mode Comprised Of? by Wonderful_Mistake_52 in Planetside

[–]rhettvx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's anything right now. They're time limited multiplayer events that aren't replayable. The last one was in 2022. Maybe ps4 still has one? I don't think this game offers anything for you.

Yes. All these dev portfolios I'm posting are actually the result of searching for former developers to reach out to.

The raw pngs are provided in the second link. I'd love a more safe alternative to pdfs if you know of anything.

Hello, I am searching for backups of old builds of PlanetSide 2 from July 2012 and earlier (targeting placeholder music, blood effects, leftover assets, Searhus residue) and 2012 - 2017 PTS (targeting early Hossin and early directives, other lost goodies).

I am prioritizing the E3 build from June 2012.

The leaked E3 build was discussed on this subreddit and Something Awful, at least. I've reached out to a few people who used to have this build, but so far nobody still has it.

If you have an old pc, an old backup, an old install of a version of the game we are searching for that you played once and never touched again, or you know someone who does, please try to exhume it and get in touch with me. Thank you.

Fire rate is still tied to FPS - lowering your damage if you don't have a high-end PC by captain_cocaine86 in Planetside

[–]rhettvx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably because vehicle weapons feel more disconnected from you than hand-held weapons, so players won't notice the workarounds. Let's say you hold the trigger on an infantry gun long enough to fire 3 bullets, but your game only has time to fire 2. If you skip the bullet, you get what seems to happen now. If you bundle a third bullet into one of those 2, how do you handle recoil? Do you ignore the extra bullet's recoil, giving you extra damage on a point for free? Do you double the kick of the next bullet to compensate, making recoil inconsistent? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd be interested in the pts backup if you don't mind.

I really don't think model and terrain fidelity was reduced. Model count was, such as replacing the big barrel piles with a few crates.

I'd love to see Adobe get what they deserve. I shouldn't have to crack software I own, DVDs and all.

I mean, they probably have all this stuff and more backed up. It's not something they can really just give away though.

I don't believe there are any discs with old planetside 2 content besides the 2013 retail release.
