Sporkfire
announced
yesterday
that
major
events
are
happening
all
this
weekend
on
Planetside,
with
a
final
event
taking
place
at
8pm
EST
on
Monday.
These
events
are
designed
to
bring
about
the
inclusiion
of
Battle
Islands
to
the
game,
so
if
you
have
been
unable
to
check
them
out
on
the
Test
Server,
this
Monday
will
be
your
first
introduction
to
the
new
Island
cluster
replacing
Oshur.
This
coming
Monday
will
also
feature
a
radically
different
global
map,
opening
up
unlimited
possibilities
for
the
game
in
the
future.
Be
sure
to
get
online
this
weekend
or
at
least
Monday.
All
players
will
be
able
to
experience
the
event
when
they
log
on.
Also
yesterday,
Sporkfire
released
brand
new
images
of
the
BFRs,
the
Battleframe
Robotics
to
be
released
after
the
new
continent
cluster
of
Oshur.
Version
2.9.8
also
went
live
about
this
time.
Features
include
some
bug
fixes
and
Damage
Degredation
reduction
for
Medium
Assault
wapons.
If
you'll
remember,
camera
shaking
was
released
with
a
previous
patch,
so
come
Monday,
battles
will
look
and
feel
decidedly
different.
Editor's
Note:
Due
to
Hurricane
Charley
(which
is
bearing
right
down
on
where
I'm
staying
for
the
weekend!)
I
will
most
likely
be
unable
to
get
online
to
catch
the
first
or
second
day
of
the
events
to
post
screenshots.
If
you'd
like
to
see
images
or
video
of
the
events,
several
players
on
the
official
forums
have
pledged
to
record
the
occurances
and
post
them
online.
