    Recently started playing Engineer and it has been a blast. Lots of weapons I didn't want to touch are suddenly some of the best ones out there, because they effectively have infinite ammo with resupply. Putting down umbrellas in open capture zones are really useful when dealing with air vehicle spammers

    I laughed pretty hard at the final tip. I started this game off immediately jumping in as Light Assault and got mowed down time and time again. Since I've started playing other random classes, I'm still getting mixed results but that's more because I am still a potato.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад +1

      Yup, LA is such a draw for new players because not many fps games have jump jets or good ones like PS2. Trouble is you get obliterated by the increased scale of the game and number of threats combined with you sticking out in the air.

    my tip for beginners: In big fights learn where to die, position yourself always in a way where medics can easily revive you under cover and you can jump into cover after a revive.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад +2

      Good advice. Just expect to die but make sure you get revived and even more important help your allies finish off the guy.

      oh you want to counter the 100 infils per base sitting in every conceivable corner? play one of the assaults! want to counter the vehicle spam zerg or mosquito spam? play one of the assaults! want to be able to leave base without instantly getting shot down by an invisible flash? play an assault! you want to be able to turn the corner without instantly getting infil bolted? idk assault probably wont save you much on that one ....
      "why does nobody play engineer/medics waaaahhh" - i wonder why ... theres literally invisible shotgun/rocket flashes now, i think i might have an idea ....

      ive been trying to main engineer and medic, but you get put in timeout every 5 seconds by the 30 infils with teammates that refuse to turn around and help. ive seriously fought in fights where there were like 24 people in it off on the side, and like about or more than half were infiltrators. people literally play with entire squads of almost all infils ive seen and played against it... dont even suggest the flashlight. just dont...

    Hello Apollo. :) watching video now. Will edit when done! :D I love you content.
    Great video! I much approve. To anyone new reading this, also try de reading mouse sensitivity if you have trouble aiming. I've heard from many that alone can double you k/d ability. It's easy to turn the mouse toward a player and suddenly you're aiming past them.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад

      Good rule of thumb is lower it until you can barely turn 180 degrees with the realistic space you have on your mouse pad. Personally I've gotten used to one big swipe and a small swipe to turn 180 over the years. Start out with what feels comfortable and then inch down from there over weeks.

  • @DrewSorensenMusic
    @DrewSorensenMusic 2 года назад +2

    Good info. I look forward to checking out your other tips.
    However, I do disagree completely about Light Assault.
    The class to avoid for beginners is Infiltrator. Clearly the hardest class to master due to its solo play nature, smallest health pool, and specialized arsenal with a high skill threshold.
    Light assault has enough health to win a fight against most classes. The jet packs help new players navigate and learn the myriad of base designs without getting bored running around looking for entries. And the class has access to a very powerful arsenal including Carbines, and well rounded main weapon.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад +1

      Glad you enjoyed :) . Agree to disagree on LA vs. Infil. Cloaking is actually a huge crutch in this game and helps players ignore threats in my opinion.

    • @DrewSorensenMusic
      @DrewSorensenMusic 2 года назад +1

      @@ApolloPS2 I guess so. Maybe it works for others and not me or my play style. Infiltrator cloak has a short timer unless certed up. Other good players easily spot a cloaked newb. Recon is useless on newbs. And sniper has a very high skill ceiling and requires game sense. And we already discussed the smallest health pool.
      What would you suggest a new infiltrator use? SMG and cert up the standard cloak?

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад

      @@DrewSorensenMusic yeah smg and cert up default cloak. I'd recommend heavy first before infil though. As infil you will always just use your cloak to ignore threats or try to get past them (and fail). Playing heavy as a new player means you get exposed to all threats while being more survivable, that way when you go back to playing infil or LA you will understand why you used to die do much ("well duh I can just run in front of someone cloaked I see it all the time as heavy" "the only LAs I see that are successful are the ones I don't see flying ever, they've already perched before ever being detected" etc). Playing those flanking classes in a game like planetside without perspective from the opposition is a recipe for frustration.

  • @CBeavr
    @CBeavr 2 года назад +2

    So i saw you mentioning Medkits and was wondering: what is your opinion on medkits vs restoration kits? I've seen ppl use both and give sound argument to either, like how resto kits aren't as wasted when you're only missing 200 or so health, AND the regen sticking around for a while after can potentially require the enemy to put one more bullet in you before you die...

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад +3

      Regen kits help in the scenario you describe, but it's a pretty rare one that requires you to be re-engaging an enemy constantly to get the benefit. You also give up pure chugging where u need to shuffle and constantly top up on health, say when caught out in the open. The latter scenario is going to happen a lot more. Of course restoration kits help a lot more when running carapace though, since you have a ton more health to work with and manipulate to make the first situation much more commonplace. For normal play though, it takes a really really particular playstyle to take restoration over normal medkits.

  • @EcchiRevenge
    @EcchiRevenge 2 года назад

    Well that explains why people complain about maxes so much - everyone wants to clutch onto medkits to survive while very few can pull out a c4 brick for close range instagib of maxes.
    Also LA is way more newbie friendly with ambushers(+safefall). It makes the panic-jump much more effective as the burst of speed from ambusher's jet can actually throw off aim sometimes.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад

      You are right about people wanting medkits. Ambushers are a good way to secure at least some kills. This video mainly focuses on what to do if you want to develop good habits that translate to improving infantry performance among all classes. If the boosher LA is your one and only true love though, then by all means boooooosh on fellow planetman.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  2 года назад

      Of course, and like I mention it's personally my favorite class, so me telling newer or fresher folks not to play it should mean something. For the vast majority of players, only after playing other classes does LA go from "doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result" to "let me use my jump jets to turn this battle in my favor".

      Over time you'll get a feel for noticing who good players are and adjusting how you play around them. It definitely is brutal starting out even if you are talented at other FPS. Implement those 10 steps though and put focus behind them and I can guarantee you will see great results in different areas.

    don't agree with discouraging new players from playing certain classes. I've heard it done with infiltrator and now LA. some players just do better with certain playstyles and that's fine. not to mention that having fun and playing what you want is huge for actually wanting to get better and sticking with the game.

    • @ApolloPS2
      @ApolloPS2  Год назад

      Very true. This video is simply for the average person who has figured out what they like and wants to improve in infantry to augment that. Even if you love LA like myself, it helps to get some time in other classes so you can get a feel for weapon mechanics and threat analysis.

    always thought of planetside 2 as an RPG-MMO-FPS sandbox game, think its a roleplayer game, because you litlely take roles a medic, assault, tank crew, squard leader an so on.
    but more than anything, its brutal, no balanced between nr an skill in mach ups because of the sandbox element that give you freedom to play an do what you want.
    1 nr. tip is always go for headshot, in all game its a good advice, but in planetside with its somewhat long kill time, its almost a have to do.
    as one who play alot lone wolf infiltrator, that love the underdog fights where there is alot against me, its all about headshots, position an movement.
    taking stuff from real life millitary, where you always consider movement, background, lighting, natural elements like plants to hide your aproach, an that gos for all roles.

      It's because over half the players use it and it's whitelisted for use by the dev team for 8 years now. If you use it you'll notice it doesn't really help performance except maybe help a little after a long time when you start to aim more lazily. I guess if you hipfire a ton you might see some performance bump but if you hipfire that much you likely have bigger problems.
