[Interview] PlanetSide 2: Hossin and Nexus Revealed at SOE Live

We caught up with the Planetside 2 team during SOE Live to talk about the game's new Hossin region, the Battle Map Nexus, and the future of PS2. Read on for more info.
The next major addition on the test server is the battle island Nexus. The battle islands are being created to progress the eSports initiative. While the continents are 64 sqaure km the battle islands are only 4 square kilometers. They contain only two warp gates connecting two continents. This means the battle islands will only be available to two empires at any one time. They have 9 contestable facilities and are designed for 48 v 48 in e-sports but are open to hundreds versus hundreds in the MMO. For the MMO game battle islands and continents will connect together to form a sort of lattice system. Each continent will connect to another continent and two battle islands. Hossin will lie in the middle and act as a gateway between the three other continents.

Uhhh...Hossin was in PS1 and was only one of ten continents in the game, so it's a reimagining of the original. If anything, they're copying themselves, not Halo.
No, they really can't innovate. If you want real innovation you will not find it in a AAA title. For there to be innovation they must be prepared to fail, and with how much these projects cost that will simply never happen.
@thread Looks good. This pleases the Dandy!
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
Looked very swamp styled, i love it
PS2 is the best epic scaled fps-pvp games out there.
it has its flaws, but closer then big scale battles with air land and infantery is imposible or not yet shown in any game.
Kraken gues you can go back to corner camping in call of duty 12318970.
Halo......lol
^ he drank the hossin water
I would add that the video could have shown more, namely the interlink facility base basement and top floors, as well as the facilities bridges - esspecially when a infiltrator could hack the bridge having the enemies troops helplessly fall to their doom.
most of all is how hossin looks at night, people with their nature style camo will have a field day, as well as the infiltrators that want to pretend to be like predator.
if you want to see more, brtd_steveo put out a 40 minute stream of hossin on the test server: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/391573/40-minute-Hossin-Footage-on-Public-Test-Server.html
