How is it P2W ? If you sub, you skip login/continent ques and have access to the arguably Pay2Lose faction, NSO robots. Most of the guns are sidegrades. You do get an exp bonus as a member, so there's that.

Not p2w but yeah buying is faster than farming certs for the new guns. Not too much faster if you are decent.
I got guys on all servers. Man I wish I could xfer my vanu guy to emerald. My TR is rocking it though. Im going to play with my FC and AC guys on emerald but I’m down for hanging if you guys play.

Admittedly I may be misremembering since it has been some time since I last played, but I could have sworn that throwing money at the game gave you ready and quick access to some very good shit. So I suppose less p2w and more pay to advance more quickly.

Agree, most things you pay are cosmetic. The best gun can not be brought. Plus the differences between the best gun and worst gun under the same categorize are NOT much.

You're absolutely right. At the time if you didn't buy vehicle upgrades you were a retard, and it was 100% absolutely p2w, but last time I played was when daybreak took over.
usually people call it "pay for convenience" and I call those people assholes

People quit this game because there was no meta end game to sort of put it. Now we have alerts and shit like this, continent locks which sort of give you a purpose to take and hold territory. Granted some fights back then were epic as fuck, but doing it over and over again sans purpose, well, yeah, people quit.

Yeah fuck them for changing that. I blame the shitter mil sim Zerg outfits for crying on the forums. I know Higby didn’t want to change it.
Changing the crown was the ultimate fun police move.

Everything that was nerfed that was fun, not just rocket pods boy. Players in PS2 were some of the worst FPS players imaginable. Literal NPCsRaping hordes of noobs with rocket spam was....

If I remember correctly, and I'm old now, so take what I say skeptically. Peeps really started quitting when they put that lattice system in. It kinda backfired on them for some reason no? Plus one of the mech suits got nerfed hard (it needed it) and people raged.

It’s funneling effect turned every fight into a stalemate Zerg. It actually took OP vehicles/abilities that were nerfed to break through.
