Thanks to a close relationship between various members of our admin team and SOE staff members, we have been able to make sure that all of the accounts have the proper certification points and battle ranks in order to be effective in combat." "One such way is supplying over 1200 accounts for us to utilize in the World Record attempt.
"SOE has offered support in many ways," Goodwin explains. With the official go-ahead, the team at PlanetsideBattles spent several months putting together the event, aided by SOE. We brought the idea to SOE and offered to organise the event, and they agreed." All hail Vanu! "Once we were able to utilise the Jaeger server, that possibility became attainable. "It had always been in the back of the minds of a few on the team, but as a pipedream," says Scott Goodwin, communications director for PSB. For the staff at PlanetsideBattles, the world record attempt has been a long time coming. The event was organised by the website, a player-driven site run by representatives from various corners of the Planetside community.
Broadcast on Twitch with thousands of spectators, it saw some of the very best Planetside players and outfits partake in a thrilling battle in which the lead changed multiple times, and the ultimate victory went down to the wire. It was also a stellar example of Planetside 2's eSports potential. The 1158 players who took part in the Server Smash organised specifically for the attempt officially exceeded the previous record of 999 players, held by the multiplayer shooter Man vs Machine. On Saturday night, Planetside 2 became the new world record holder for the largest battle to take place in an FPS game. Moments later, another victory is announced, even more significant than the New Conglomerate's own triumph. A single captured base would swing it for the Terrans, who dominated the battlefield for almost an hour-and-a-half.ĭespite the best efforts of the Terrans, the New Conglomerate line holds, and as the clock ticks down to zero, the entire continent of Hossin flashes blue, heralding their victory. The heavyweight New Conglomerate faction are just a single point ahead of their lighter, more agile Terran Republic opponents, who are throwing everything they've got right across the NC's front-line. The jungle-continent is split almost straight down the middle, between shades of red and blue. With just a minute left on the clock, the battle for Hossin is a dead-heat.
