Someone over at Kotaku found a great video of PlanetSide 2 - someone recorded a bunch of NC battles without the HUD on, and edited them together without music of anything - to show people what the game looks like. It's pretty impressive, and I think something I might try for VS (and NNG specifically) sometime. http://kotaku.com/5964147/well-planetside-2-looks-like-one-enormous-murder-simulator
I was thinking about making an alt anyhow, someone with a name clearly delineating him as a non-combatant. Something like just simply using the name "CameraMan" or "DontShootThePress".
