Think about if i should become a Planetside gamer?

[General. lee]

Ok I havent even played planetside but i love online shooting games, give me your thoughts on the game plz. and on the game do you get to make your person look different then others or does every1 have the same head and uniform?

[drsomewhere]

As lonmg as you dont like hitboxes planetside is for you

[Breed]

Theres something like 7 sets of faces for each sex with 6 variations for each (scars, scary eyes etc).

Tbh you'll be wearing a helmet most of the time so it doesnt matter.
The only main things ull notice when playing is the hair style and the sex.

Honestly thats about it.

give me your thoughts on the game plz.

I think that Planetside is the best game even after I've been playing it for almost a year now. I also like the fact that the PS dev team is constantly working to improve and add to the game.

and on the game do you get to make your person look different then others or does every1 have the same head and uniform?

When you create your name you choose their empire, name, gender, voice, and head skin. The bodies are all the same size. Your armor color changes as you gain rank. First at battle rank 7, then 12, then 18.

And for CR upgrades to your armor:

CR 1: Shin pad
CR 2: Second shin pad
CR 3: Elbow pad
CR 4: Second Elbow pad
CR 5: Backpack

Actually, you get new uniforms at BR7 and 14 ;) You get your first one when you make your character, then there are two others you get as you advance. :D

[SilverLord]

Who cares, you look the best at Cr5 and Br 20. :)

[JakeLogan]

Who cares, you look the best at Cr5 and Br 20. :)
Only if your TR

[SilverLord]

Only if your TRBR 20 and CR 5 TR's look awesome in Rexo.

This will depend entirely on how you play the game. I would suggest to you that you do the training, and take Rexo armor and Medium assault. This gets you in the field as a grunt and you can get a feel for what other certs you will want by watching others. PLEASE don't be just another noob who gets the Heavy Assault cert right away because it is the biggest gun. There are SO MANY other certs in the game to choose from that are more usefull to the empires winning, than the individuals kill count.
That being said...VANU FOREVER :evil:

and voice, honestly :p

[TheN00b]

Hmm, I would probably recommend Heavy Assault if you're joining the Terrans. The Mini Chaingun is great fun to use, as well as being quite powerful in skilled hands; it has a much higher ceiling of power than the Lasher and Jackhammer (but also a much lower floor). In addition to the MCG, the Maelstrom is incredibly powerful (assuming you have Core Combat). However, the decision is really up to your playing style. If you like tactical, mid-to-short range duels, get the MCG; if you like extreme range harassing and unanswered attacks, get sniping. Both are great.

[General. lee]

I think im going to be a sniper because from what I've been hearing and reading the Terren Republic needs some new tactics.
and electrofreak after i get some practice at sniping and gain some lvls or whatever you want to go sniping?

Also since i havent got my subscription yet can some1 tell me why it shows neutral on the live war maps at www.planetside.com? i didnt think there was a neutral side.
