De nieuwe update van PlanetSide: Arena voegt multiplayer voor driehonderd mensen toe

Dankzij de populariteit van games als PUBG en Fortnite, zijn games waarin je het met honderd mensen tegen elkaar opneemt niets bijzonders meer. DayBreak Game Studios verlegt met PlanetSide: Arena echter de grens en introduceert met TEAMS (300) een mode voor maar liefst driehonderd mensen.

Teams (300) is het hoogtepunt van de nieuwe update van de closed beta die momenteel voor het spel gaande is. De rest van de veranderingen komen namelijk vooral de balans ten goede. Mocht jij het spel echter reeds fanatiek spelen, dan kun je hieronder precies lezen wat er gewijzigd is:

GAME UPDATES & TUNING

TEAMS (300) Mode:

• We're ready to begin increasing our match populations! Saturday's playtest will introduce "TEAMS (300)" mode, which will allow up to 300 players (100 teams, 3 players per team) into each match.
• SOLO and standard TEAMS (100 players each) will be disabled for Saturday's playtest.
• TEAMS (300) will be enabled.

Tempest (Hoverbike) tuning:

• We've performed a tuning pass on the Tempest (Hoverbike) based on playtest feedback. Overall, the Tempest should feel less "floaty" and bottoming out should be greatly reduced. While it's now easier to kick the bike over when clipping against objects, the Tempest does a better job of righting itself without the back and forth wobble.
• Increased the turn rate and drift rate.
• Reduced the camera delay when turning.
• Players now dismount from the Tempest with momentum, similar to the Flash (Quad).
• A detailed list of changes can be found on the official forums here.

Weapons Changes:

• Performed a tuning pass on weapons sights for general quality of life.
• Removed iron sights from the SMG, Assault Rifle, Carbine, LMG, and Vandal.
• Added better sight progression to the weapons and all primary weapons will now have at least a red dot sight regardless of rarity.
