Warpgates... I miss PlanetSide1

They removed the "working" warpgates in PS2.

We used to have a small homeland continent (enemy can not warp there)  from which we could physically warp through the warpgate with any vehicule or on foot, not necessary with a warp terminal. That way you do not lose your vehicule changing continents.

You would have to go in the center of the warpgate (where there is just pointless animation now) to activate where you would want to warp. There where different routes you could take to go to a continent (there were more than 3 continents). That way you could attack any continent by almost any direction AND NOT a fixed faction spawn point (today's warpgates) on every continents... This change the DYNAMICS of the map! Not the same action over and over, and parts of the map where you almost never play... which is sad because there are bases and other places where I could see nice battles that could happen... instead of constantly trying to get "The Crown" in Indar as a control point of the continent...

Having warpgates like in the old PlanetSide would make more diversed battle fronts, more of the map would then be used and not forgetting inter-continental strategies. For this to happen they would have to remove vehicules collision between friendlies (like on foot) so we can pass through each other.

I remember DOZENS of air vehicules taking the warpgate from the home continent to go in one continent and fly to another warpgate to get to the destination continent. A bit of voyage yes, but it gave time to synchronise troups and have massive attacks on enemy assets. There were not less action, like in PS2 it is possible to spawn at different places.

The fact that you could fight a map in a different direction and at places you normally do not play, brings a lot more replayablility to that map. You could take a warpgate with your airplane to go somewhere else without having to go back to the home "warpgate" and discarding your actual vehicule to take a walk and go to warp terminal and get to another vehicule terminal to finally have to wait for the timer because you just lost your recently spawned airplane before warping.

Who played PS1 understand my nostalgia.

Please Sony, bring back that game dynamics. This is my christmas wish :D

Merry Christmas! And a happy new year!
