Anyone that hits www.planetside-universe.com knows why I was gone, and why ultimatly I am back. Let me say this so far. I have the CC mod in due to the free time, but so far... I don't see the point in buying it. I am a flyer, and currently snipe... why should I spend money on something I never will play, and from the sound of it, no one uses either....
Anyhoots, had 1 severe game lock up, some lag issues, namely entering a battlezone, even with skydome off, warp gates off, everything at 16 bit and medium and foilage at minimum. I am so far not impressed by the progress of the lag fixes. I have a 1.8ghz p4 Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600, WinXp, SB Audigy II, 512megs DDR ram. I should be able to run the game higher. Oh yeah Cable line thats solid, play on Emerald with a 46 ping according to teh load screen and run the game in 1024X768 resolution.
On to the gameplay... where the @#$@# is everybody??? I have been in one half decent battle where there was more then one wave of enemies. Other then that... not much. Flying my reaver is still fun, but WHERE THE @#$@#$ Are the air-to-air missiles??? There are SAM's, that chase you across half the map, but for air-to-air combat, I still have to close and use only guns... That is DUMB DUMB DUMB.
Also, the on the ground fighting isn't bad, but its obvious that the server population issue is hurting the gameplay, cause when I can run across a battlefield and get behind the enemy, there aren't enough people playing. Period.
I will post again in two weeks see if maybe my first impressions are wrong. But it seems that while on some levels, the game is MUCH MUCH better, there are some areas that leave much to be desired.
