Are there any good, extensive videos on just the ins and outs of Planetside? I just joined the beta and haven't played yet--I'd like to be prepared when I do.
SOE will be posting their video tutorials soon I believe, but here's this. It's outdated as a lot of mechanics have changed since then but it will still teach nearly everything.
If someone has another good, current video please post it.
Didn't show up for me.

i got it working, im in. How do i play with GAF?
send out some friend invites to anyone on your faction/server
e: sorry, I made a copy to clear it out for launch and forgot to make this list public. It should be viewable now.
Oh lawwwddd
So the GPU Physics are IN and they are WONDERFUL!
You have to have an Nvidia card and the latest 310.53 or 310.54 drivers but maaaan the sparks from bullets hitting walls look :O
And the teleporter/launchpad particle streams that are actually affected by players jumping into it. It's amazing

Yeah, just saw that tweet.
Just deleted useroptions.ini and let that rebuild, works now. Damn this looks really nice
Yea, it acts really weird if you try to modify the useroptions.ini file

Awesome, thanks--can't wait to get started! Is there a particular faction that GAF prefers?
Ok, so if you want to check out what PS2 can really look like (before beta ends) if you apply Ultra Settings to everything then download this useroptions.ini file and replace yours wherever you installed Planetside 2. This is ultra textures, ultra effects, a bit of downsampling, and ultra sound quality. Explosions, textures, and lighting look phenomenal on this setting. Prepare to have your eyes raped 
*GPU Physics cannot be applied with these settings, it will crash upon entering the game world/warpgate

Take some pictures/screens of the game with these settings and post them if you don't mind.
I made a really short (and kinda shitty) video of some basic PhysX effects.

All of the VS images for Esamir/Amerish in the OP are at ultra settings at 2560x1440.
Awesome
Yep, one for each faction if there is population to support them.

I bought 60 dollars in station cash cards during a 2 for 1 promo back in august giving me 120 in station cash. Back when I last asked about it everyone said station cash would only be good for cosmetic items ... Has that changed at all? I played a lot in early beta but I've eased off waiting for launch.
Cosmetics and direct buy of weapons.

im looking at my control panel. i got two 470s in SLI. should I dedicate one of the cards permanently for physics?

yes, weapons, vehicles, technology.
TR = classic human sci-fi. low damage, big numbers.
Vanu = crazy bright lights. alternative. high techs. few in numbers.
the other guys nobody cares about = the rebel kids. basically the the vanilla ice of planetside.
Traditionally:
Terran Republic - Have capabilities to get off more rounds per second. Lower damage as a result.
New Conglomerate - Hit harder than the TR but at a slower than normal rate.
Vanu Sovereignty - Average rate of fire and damage but makes up for it with unique abilities (Tanks hover and can strafe, lower bullet drop experienced (this may have been changed))
Terran Republic
Guns: High rate of fire, lower damage - can put an amazing amount of shots downstream.
Tanks&Vehicles: High rate of fire with the lightest armour out of the three but the fastest speeds
New Conglomerate
Guns: Low rate of fire, higher damage
Tanks&Vehicles: Slowest and most heavily armoured and have the guns that pack the best punch
Vanu Soverignty
Guns: Mid range power and firing rate but are very accurate and don't have any bullet drop. The guns wane in effectiveness over a distance.
Tanks&Vehicles: The most manouverable tanks in the game. Can strafe with tanks. Has some pretty nice weapon options that no one else has as well.

It was fun running with you. TR outfit will be up at launch but it'll be somewhat quiet because of the holiday.
Gonna try coming back at launch.
Hadn't logged on in weeks, though I've kept up with the various updates. Didn't want to get burned out on the game before it's "release" ;P
Also, yeah, now I wish I had rolled nVidia instead of AMD when I built my PC. Those extra effects are pretty neat.
