NC have it real easy with situational awareness. You never have to keep track of your allies because you know every single one of them has their cross hairs centered on the back of your head.
Elaborate please.... I'm a bit slow on that 🙏🏽
When you hear the chainsaw sound, you know there's a TR nearby. I'm like wwwwhere that sound coming from and all panicky. 😅
It’s always hilarious that people have accused me of cheating cuz I managed to find them crouched in a corner as a stalker cuz they kept spamming the spot button. The directional sound in this game is pretty good and if you know what to listen for, you can track people down fairly easy.
Know the feeling all too well mate, it's one of those things can be a total dead giveaway.
Wait till you get accused of cheating for countersniping infiltrators with other classes because you saw him uncloaked for a second 70m away.
@@JohnFromAccounting I can't count the number of time i killed an infil who tought that cloacking = invincibility and didn't move after shooting
Lol I got some hackusations for a similar thing yesterday. I feel like players like me coming from cs and valorant are just all around better. Better mechanics, faster learners, more situationally aware, and better positioning. What games did u play before planetside 2?
Stalker spotting is fun though. I like to get into a weird position and just make noise for a bit, then be quiet, reposition and reapeat. It dosn't accomplish anything but it annoys the hell out of people. Bonus points if claymores are involved.
Sound is so vital in this game that I made a bunch of videos titled "Sound Is Vital". Pay attention to what you hear- I've managed to track down a Stalker Infiltrator by hearing him reload his Commissioner. Cloak sounds, gun sounds, callout sounds, even footsteps have helped me win fights I would have lost otherwise.
Sound is one of the most underrated elements of Planetside from what I can see!
@@CAMIKAZE78 Or from what you can _hear,_ right? Right?
...I'll get my coat. Oh, wait, I'm already wearing it.
Awareness is really underestimated. Yesterday my friends just pulled an armor column to support both our Colossus and of a friendly outfit, I end up finding two enemies lighting behind us and not even far away, and since I lack a mic I had to die and write on the text chat "ENEMY BEHIND US" for them to react. Planning is important, yes, but if your butt is out of the warpgate, make sure for someone to stay alert of the surroundings
100%, never discount the flank because 9 times out of 10, an enemy is looking for the best flanking opportunity!
After capturing a base, lots of explosions and all that we were about to depart to the next base, but then I heard a very low cloaking noice further away in the huge hangar building for the only capture point (A). I scouted the building from outside by checking through sides of the doors and figured he had stalker cloak. Therefore I thought that I was at a disadvantage of being ambushed if I advanced into the building without knowing at very least which corner he was around. So I waited outside of the building until everyone else had left, and I used the big map to control-check that the impostor remained in the base (that "1-12 enemies..." etc feature). A few more minutes went by and then I heard him uncloaking to attempt to back-cap the base and was he was quickly dealt with.
I love planetside 2 for these moments. It's not always about the huge action, but the smaller duties like these that makes it so much more!
P.S. Surely it could've been done more effectively. Thinking back, I probably could just have gone head on against an opponent only having a sidearm and knife, but hey, I am still learning!
Finally someone gets it! I swear one of the most annoying things is hearing some try hard gloat about the kill streak he just went on, as if it means he's a god at the game. In reality, most of those situations are caused by the enemy team just being absolutely shit at the game, to the point that they might as well be bots. And why tf would anyone feel proud for getting a ton of kills against bots when you got no one really challenging ya?...
I love stepping back and looking at all that goes into being aware in this game! When you step out side your warpgate, you are never truly safe... And that is one of the many reasons why I love this game! You must always be ready for anything!!
Good stuff here, thank you for the video!
Appreciate the feedback mate, very kind of you!
@@CAMIKAZE78 It came at the right time! xD Just started doing MBT alot more and I've go some blindspots to work on! lol
This a real military skill you gotta learn as well. A useful video
Often find myself thinking in buildings: That entrance is safe, covered by x teammates!
15-20 secs later getting mauled down from behind at the other side of that room, because room was breached and I didnt notice or only too late... :D At least I am aware of lacking awareness ^^
Are you me?
Know that all too well mate, it's one of those things we can only improve on over time! Appreciate the comment mate :)
Why walk into a wall when you can run head first
Situational awareness for NC: Everything because allies will be half your deaths.
Also yeah, cloaking noises was the first thing I focused on since each faction has their own sounds.
Unit responses also help since those are also unique to each faction... well, standard voices I recall. I think even the other voices might be faction specific but I can't remember. Maybe someone can help reconfirm it?
I fairly certain all voice packs are faction specific.
@@glockenspiel604 They are. But there are a few that are kind of plain and non-distinctive, so it's best to go into the Depot and give a good listen to every voice pack for each faction.
@@TheRogueWolf Yeah I can barely tell apart the base ones in the middle of combat but I can identify most of the other ones
Yeah voice lines can certainly go a long way, especially if you here a voice line from a cloaked infiltrator off in the distance somewhere. Cheers for the input mate, really appreciate it!
Oh yah. A lot of newer infiltrators I've killed over the years flip out about me being ablento see them when they are cloaked and stationary.
They say that while spamming spots which I can hear though...
Best advice I have gotten in all of these videos from these great guys was; Disengage.. then reengage on your terms. Just because someone is shooting at you doesn't mean you automatically have to return fire and engage them. Example from this video 8:50 - 9:24
Guy on roof starts shooting at him.. CAMIKAZE disengages him, shoots another guy below, reloads.. Then reengages the people on the roof..
Here is a handy tip for when you and your squad are hold up in a building and there are cloakers with powered melee around. Keep an ear open as most of the time they will switch modes and the distinctive noise coming from the weapon will give away their location. It can be quite beneficial to be a little jumpy when these kinds of infiltrators are around. If you make noise to your team, like saying "Cloaker here!!" Or "Cloaker close!!" Will also put your buddies on alert as well. Some times you may come across cloakers who don't have stalker cloak. If you hear them decloak, move towards said sound. If your an infiltrator yourself, you can play counterintelligence and give your friends the info they need to stay alive!
I wish NC would learn something about situational awareness. Most of the time I don't even die because of my lack of it, but my team mates acting like idiots.
Example: 3-4 guys storming a building. OK, I've got at least 2 mates with me, one on the left, one on the right, we can do it. Let's go! Last second one of them stops dead in his track because he shat his pants at the sound of gunfight, the other one decided to chase a butterfly that he just saw on the left. Me, killed one guy, got flanked by another, one team mate vanished completely, the other finally decided to join... by SPRINTING right into an already damaged foe, his gun lowered, gets mowed down in a milisecond. My head hits the desk.
Example 2: Holding a point. OK, I can see one enemy coming, I check my surrounding - we've got each other's backs! Good, I can safely drop the incoming foe. I drop him, and get mowed down by two more that came from the sides, because the team mates that "got my back" had to send a kissy face to their gf/bf/mommy when the other enemies were going in from their direction. Awesome teamwork guys! /facepalm
Really love showing what weapons you're using in clips.
Glad it has been helping out mate :)
Situational awareness only comes with time when playing a game.Every fps have different "flows" and really varies from map to map.When it comes to ps2 you get a broader spectrum bc it is a open world.You're have more angles and distance. I've been playing ps2 for over 5yrs and I never think of it but that comes with years and years of play.When I play with friends who are new to the game they get comfused when I cut to another angle without telling them why.Its important to think outloud when playing with new players so they can train theirself on what to lookout for.
100% agree mate, it is one of those things that can only be learned as you play the game and begin to understand the inner workings of it. Appreciate the comment mate :)
Situational awareness is the only reason I'm at least somewhat effective, and I'm not even that good at it. My aim is abysmal so I lose most duels.
Only thing I can't really figure out how to deal with is snipers. The only answer I have is to not go outside, but that's not an option half the time.
Awareness? No thanks I'll stick to my very narrow tunnel vision. Great vid as always Cami
I literally said to myself "I need to get out of tunnelvision in planetside" 30 seconds before seeing this.
Being 80% mana turret, I watch the minimap, I relay intel I see to my squadmates actively engaging, but once I engage, that thing doesn't exist for me until I stop shooting. It's worse in the field because I do the Q spot, engage, they duck around a corner, and I fail to glance to the bottom left to see if they 180'd...
The other day I did a W+M1 MCG, and well, it worked for a moment. I died because I was shoot a guy crouching and not shooting me and not the guy shooting me 'cause I thought my allies were right behind me and engaged him. I was wrong.) I even glanced at him and went "I need to shoot him," but then did nothing other than "haha...mcg go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-*dead*" (I was using extended magazine)
Planetside 2 teaches situational awareness that helps for the real life, like no other simulation or game ever. I've said in chat, ps2 helps ur situational awareness to defend ur girlfriend even. It's such a good topic. & you went over it brilliantly.
what..
Another great vid cami, thanks again for all the awesome content
Appreciate that mate, means a lot!
Here's a really important addition: the ground can be hard cover too! A slight dip in elevation or a slight rise behind a rock may be all you need if you can get it between you and your opponent(s).
elaborate...
the camo and class and weapon you choose determines how much you stand out from the crowd. try to run in with default heavy assault with standard tr wep and no camo, u get insta killed. run in as a medic with NS weapons and a hard camo to see/ distinguish factions from and you wont be shot by enemies in a crowd
Light assault is going to be the king of catching a group of players with their pants down and easily has the best tools of capitalizing on that. That's a reason why Moukas comes up in that regard.
I think situational awareness plays heavily into MANA turret placement. I just finished getting my aurax in it and I can say the last third of the directive was much faster after I learned the best placement. Implants help a great deal, but finding that juicy chokepoint that minimizes the chance of getting C-4 spammed or sniper angles, you can really lock down an area.
Engineer as a whole relies on situational awareness when it comes to placing just about all of their deployables.
You're not wrong. Angles are crucial when plopping down a turret, especially the AV one, since every sniper in render range is going to be looking to pop your melon. With the AI turret, I make a habit of keeping my head protected from the most likely sniper lane by the turret's shield until I think I'll need to fire.
This newbie thank you for this video as well as the other guides you've made!
*plays on speakers*

"Huuuurrrrhhdduuuuhhhh"
*slaps on headphones*
TR- Haha Guns Go Brrrr
VS- Give me your toaster
NC- friendly fire is fun fire
Bad luck is always a factor of situational awareness, but... you can actively avoid bad luck by processing as much relevant information as possible. For example, learn the habit of continuously glancing the minimap at regular intervals. This will provide you with a constant stream of data and lower the randomness greatly.
Was surprised to not see this in the comment section!
*With my best Moukass accent*
Epic!
*-Watches video on Situational Awareness*

Good content, but @9:33 you are getting Pulsar C ribbons while saying you are using the VX6-7.
Shuuuuuush it’s a vanu secret
@@lancezealot All Vanu weapons are secretly Pulsar C.
You can't succeed in ps2 without being a bit paranoid. Damn enemy cloak sound, I hear you everywhere.
The mention of Moukass reminds me how sad it is that he went insane.
one of my weaknesses my awareness
Same
Same
i often find myself betrayed by allies ; i think this side is safe, 10+ people in that side of room,5 by door,yet mere few seconds later 1 or 2 enemies sprint through all of them and shoot and kill me covering other side . other times this happens far too often : ally in front of me , enemy pops up front ,ally not seeing him or looking other direction so we are (me)-(ally)-(enemy) . if i hold by fire enemy shoots and kills ally and often then me . even if ally eventually opens fire. so even as VS i adapt NC doctrine and shoot though ally regardless,now most of times killing enemy .
Not to mention people tend to shoot behind Moukass in his videos. Got that Moukass Ping
Play infiltrator bolt action no nano weave, Become paranoid as fuck, *YOU HAVE GAINED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS* but to being serious I have maxed out my infiltrator the “weird looking armor” and I have learned situational awareness because I specialize in hunting infiltrators so as soon as I hear one my eyes start glowing red :D
Always look for them extra costume animations in the dark, usually dead giveaways. xD
I often see my tanker buddy pinpoint enemy vehicles just by sound, as well as knowing the type of weapon and vehicle. I ignore those sounds as background noise most of the time, but he uses them like a bat.
Also Cami, isnt the weapon you tagged as VX6-7 actually a Pulsar C? Wait til iGoRawr hears about this.
The amount of times I've sat there healing in a squad of 12 for a heavy to just...waltz in and kill me mid revive...I swear to God some people just tune out their brains in planetside. It's like they forget all the snap shooting skill they learned from cod, battlefield, halo, the litany of indie games...
On a completely different note, I just had a pre-study event for my university where I'm starting in a few weeks and one of the videos they showed used the same song you use for your intro and that caught me so offguard I didn't listen to anything what was said in the video and I think I missed a bit of important info
9:32 I noticed a mistake there it says pulsar C you're using, not VX6 - 7.
Once again, a nice and informative video Cami. One thing I'd like to share is that to practice situational awareness it might actually be best to TURN OFF in-game sound. Once you;ve done that, you are literally FORCED to look at the minimap and identify where the enemy troop concentration is, where sunderers are, etc. Once you've become an expert at that, you can then slowly transition back by turning on the sounds one by one and then you'll notice a vast improvement in your play sessions and a rise in K/D. I can attest to this. It may seem ironic to turn off in-game sounds but once you've "graduated" from this initial step you find yourself dominating the battlefield :)
Example of being situationally aware that I always see my brain dead fellow nc failings to do. When you kill a vehicle but don’t get a player kill assume the driver bailed and is near by. If u don’t see him assume it’s an Infil and get ur flashlight out or spam bullets in the general area u think he is until you get a hitmarker. I often find myself w 3 or 4 people killing a vehicle just for them all to leave while I clean up the driver for a free kill.
i remember once playing a match and had a kdr of 7 just from watching the map and the flow of the battle
9:43 did anyone else notice that he got a Pulsar C ribbon while supposedly using a VS6-7?
I had the wrong weapon name up on the video, it was the Pulsar C sorry mate!
Is there a way to get rid of killcam like an implamt? It sucks I try to go flank an enemy only to be spotted? The killcam really disrupts stealthy playstyles!
Connery has the most skilled players overall, so that's why it's a lot harder to get away with those crazy plays 80% of the time :(
It depends what sort of fight. If you're at a 12-24, you will rarely get away with a 17 kill streak. If it's a 48-96 it's a lot, lot easier.

Super helpful for my outfiit!
Haha, jokes on you. I don't live long enough to reload.
thank you for the tips

I can't use headphones for a while so happy farming :P
So long as this comment doesnt go over to when this is live, I think you should respectfully disengage from Moukass as a Planetside player. His channel and comments are becoming unhinged and while his former gameplay and videos related to Planetside have been great, I think his recent few months behaviour is not healthy and wouldnt want to promote what he is saying. Regardless, cheers for the vids and keep up the great work!
As it stands, when I publish the video the comment will transfer across so if you want me to delete it let me know mate. I was made aware of the drama after the video was made and I was considering re-writing the script. But I decided against it only because I figured I was merely using his gameplay as an example (and it’s still a healthy example), and I quite frankly want to steer as clear from that drama as possible despite the reference. Consider the mention in this video a comment on the gameplay, and not on the individual.
@@CAMIKAZE78 Yeah understood man! I've made the comment incase you haven't heard about his changes and I think people will see your general reference as relevant to PS2. I don't mind the comment going live but honestly it was a background comment so you can take it down. Take care and hype for next update!
@@SarGra13 who is moukass im sorrry but im just new to ps2
@@jeffjefferson8888 He's been a pretty long term content creator of Planetside 2 with interesting montages specifically. He has posted personal videos in recent months which I think are unhealthy and shouldn't be encouraged.
What's wrong with Moukass? He has made great PS2 content for years.
Believe me everytime i play planetside 2 it always give me anxiety because you have hundred of way of dying.
You gotta get in a zen state and maintain your information input while you are doing other things otherwise you'll get surprised or you'll miss clues the game gives you
Then put advanced tactics and expience on top of that as well as knowledge of Angeles/corridors and shortcuts
Man new players are f*ed, I'm happy that they bring in new base types and locked some bases to change up the common places you fight at. That way we can all learn at the same time

How to make your FOV much larger?
Situational awareness Lana I have perfect situational awareness
Strong cyrious vibes out here...ofc NC are behind trying to copy TR, but the republic's tutorials are better!
Perfect
how do you get ur FOV like that
Should I pay for play agents ns?
The only time I enjoy this game is when I manage to get into a huge group of enemies, usually near a sundy, and kill 5-10 people. It's also dangerous because this group could be shot up by your own teammates, which is what ends killstreaks more often than enemies themselves.
Other than that, this game reminds me of my tonsillectomy without anesthesia. It's painful, there's no help from others, and by the end you can only cry and eat yoghurts for a week.
I'll do good with my aim and situational awareness for like 15-20 minutes and then go full murder potato and die 40 times in a row.
Why be situationally aware when I can just press spacebar?
1v1 stats are not that important past a certain level. I very frequently kill players from "good" outfits because even though I don't practice aiming 3 hours a day, I know how to engage, disengage and what positions to attack from at each base. Your aim gets better the more you play, but awareness and strategy aren't obvious and most players aren't very good at it.
Wait are you saying people don’t naturally do all of this
Audio ques... You mean the shit that gets drowned out?
DokP, D3S are good example of great aim n positioning n awarness (they are isane).
Cyrious is good player but no comparision to mentioned guys,
Moukass is just playing clicker game idk how can u not kill ppl doing that its so easy...
None of this Situational Awareness matters if you play NC as the friendly behind you is shooting though you and your head, at the guys in front of you.. :P
Comment for the sake of Gods pleasure
Me watching all of my teammates running to their death at point A instead of spawning vehicles and getting the enemy spawns out.
*Disappointed Muhammad Sarim Akhtar*
Too many players are going for kills only and don't mind to get killed nor running out of ammo. It's a legal way to play but not fun to have them on your team.
Connection Quality: Poor
Im sorry but is this video footage staged?, in all these videos despite playing like how OP is I would have been domed 10+ times, and on that tower..............where is that stupid player that beacon spawns on the top and then has his friends visit and farm us all? I take it this isnt the EU servers? definately wont have that gameplay on there, it would be far too sweatier haha, good video though!!
Finally done building my gaming pc, now i can apply these tips from your video to my gameplay because i won't be playing with 20fps anymore lmaoo. Thank you
Happy to be of help mate, very kind of you! Glad you got that PC upgraded, keen to see you on Auraxis!
