Beta Key (2) giveaway

[Top Sgt]

gonna be nice and give away 2 keys today.

1- key is a PC gamer key from march/april magazine I never used

2- key is a twitter key.

All i ask is you post in the next few hrs what faction you plan to play and what you like most about that given faction.

the two that catch my eye will get keys end of story. (and no being TR does not earn you anything extra)

If your a vet do not enter your already set.. this is for non PS1 players who really need a basic key just to get in the beta later on.


Something to do to pass the time pimps & playas.

[kunzadar]

Vanu soverenty - Flying the scythe. That aircraft has the most potential in my eyes, with the ability to strafe and the highest maneuverability.

[Lazaruz]

I'm fighting for Vanu Sovereignty.

I would much rather go to war with a sword than a sharp stick. + the scythe looks killer :D

[Comet]

*cracks his knuckles*
I am choosing to play NC because they have... cookies. Kidding, kidding :groovy:

First off, I like the way the NC looks and plays. Strong looking bulky armour and big guns with big explosions. It sounds cliche' but it's true.

The other half of the equation is of course their ideology. Without getting too political, I appreciate different view points on subjects and admire those that have the strength to go against the grain.

When you add in the look of NC's units and what they are fighting for, it was a give-in :)

I have started to write a story for my NC character that is still fleshing itself out but will eventually tell how he became an NC fighter. The story will touch on his family, his thoughts and what he believes of the entire war despite the logo on his shoulder. I work a lot so it's hard for me to sit down and put in a genuine effort in the story some weeks but it is coming.

Link to the story can be found here:

[TheDAWinz]

Terran Republic

I just want to fight for the glory of the Republic

That is all

[Rago]

May i enter for a Friend of Mine ?

He wants to go VS with me and my other Friends, he will be one of those Infiltrator Hacking Guys, I fly the Stuff, and my Boys will guard Him ;)

[Mythoclast]

New Conglomerate: I was complaining about how there were no MMOFPS's and my friend was all "Ever hear of Planetside?" He explained the game a bit to me and is gonna build me a new computer too. Since he introduced me to not only a game but a genre I didn't even know existed I will join his faction.

I was leaning towards the NC even before I knew his faction because of there low rate of fire but high damage design but I probably would have ended up in the VS due to their unique look and weapons as well as their philosophy. But then again that would conflict with my philosophy of sticking with my friends so the NC it is!

Edit: If he doesn't get into the beta I will probably give the key to him if that's ok.

[Absentis]

I'm planning on going TR. Mostly because of how fast their weapons shoot and their low recoil with sustained fire. The mosquito in specific has a particularly appealing design and seems like it would be a good fighter for hit and run type attacks. In general, I just like how the TR plays from the videos that I've seen so far.

Edit: This is for a friend who is also going TR. He likes fast snipers.

[yourt]

I :love: NC

Got my AlienFX set to blue and yellow, sportin the team colors.

NC got the sexiest armor, weapons, and vehicles of all three factions. Anyone that loves money, freedom, and big guns needs to support the the big wig's (and formally big haired Higby's) rag tag group of rebels. :)

[GODMOLLY]

I'm part of the Terran Republic. What I like the most about this faction is that they seem the best organized out of all the others, you play better when you have prestige in knowing who you are fighting for. Not a bunch of unorganized, un-militaristic rebels who don't kick ass and throw them to the curb.
I was a PS1 vet, but lost my account details.

[Zekeen]

(Vet here - but I wanna score a key for a friend as a surprise to help him through a tough time)

I fight for NC, because even though I decided on them based on colors and armor design, I found out that everything about them fit me. I found the weapons to be ideal, as I was an ammo conserver type and always prefered to hit harder with less shots. I loved the heavier, edger armored, but also fell in love with how the colors of the empire stretched across all the vehicles and gave a patriotic warmth to me. I remember looking at propaganda one day and wondering if I matched with the empire ideals and coming to conclusion that I felt my empire would have been right even if I had joined them for their ideals alone. The history, the idealogy, the edge styles, the colors, the bulky heavier looks, and the precision high powered weapons fit me like a glove to where I cringe watching a video of another empire killing NC. NC embodies the ironies I love, they are the lowest, less organized empire, but they possess the highest pure human technology, not afraid to use what humanity has built to obtain their freedom.

Freedom over Oppression!

Had I not gone NC, I would have ended up Terran though, there's almost a brother-like feeling between rebel and loyalists... even if it's from shooting each other.

[casdac]

TR here

I don't really know what it is about the TR that makes me love them so much, could just be how sexy they look in there black and red armor, but if i was to definitively say what it was that drew me to them then i would have to say it is how they managed to sustain a global government, say what you like about how they ruled, but it takes skill and effort to be able to govern a whole planet for so long, just look at how difficult it is for any one country to govern themselves at the moment.

[ParanoiaComplex]

The Vanu Sovereignty is my choice of faction.

I will strike all down with my deadly Rag Mider in a solo, hardcore rambo fashion.

Imagine a swarm, neigh, zerg of NC grunts threatening the sanctity of a VS controlled tower when all of a sudden the cavalry of 20 single manned Rag Miders burst from the mist! Out of nowhere each tank will single single-handedly cause infinite deaths and ruin many many lives.

Such is a goal for only the most dedicated dreamers.

[Top Sgt]

someone has pointed out to me that giving away an account (albiet new) is against SOE rules??

I dunno but based on his Pm i'll remove that part and stick with the 2 keys then so everybody is happy.

[Sledgecrushr]

Im going NC here. Its not really the awesome look of the Reaver or the power of the Vanguard. I joined the NC because I wanted to be a Devil Dog. I had seen the videos and looked at there old website. I really wanted to be with a big organized bad assed outfit and Im positive I have struck gold. Now Im NC4life.

[ParisTeta]

VS

Technology can`t be stopped, and fear of it, never helped master it. Yes you need to be careful, you need control, but standing still is death, only development grands survival. That is why technolgy is power, through power survival.

It also means, taking new oppertunites as they appear and self advancement.

That the idiology behind this, in ps1 i liked the unique feautres ideas, AP Switch, Lahser, a weapon which projectile hit nearby enemy, Hovertank? Non Arcing Tank weapon? Precise, no lock on AV weapon (but reduced damage).

[xanderman]

NC because I want to deal Tons Of Damage.

[deltase]

VS
I like the sci-fi look, the hover tank and the hover plan ( which looks like Batplan :P)

[capiqu]

Very good, now for the second part of the contest. The swimsuit followed by the talent show.

[Sephirex]

[Looopy]

Disclaimer: Not blowing smoke because your a TR fan, this is all the truth.

Having been initially introduced to the Planetside universe by Totalbiscuits convincing set of videos I naturally developed a strong bias towards the Terran Republic. At first I simply wanted to follow in his footsteps, but as i looked further into the factions I realized that TR may just be the faction for me.

The Pride:
From just the short time I've been a part of the PSU community, the PS2 youtube community, etc. I have noticed the immense amount of pride that comes along with the TR. Having watched the matt hibgy haircut stream (among other streams E3 etc.) I quickly noticed growing trends among the fans. Not only did the Vanu faction seem to attract younger players, it seemed to attract interesting answers to the reporters questions. When asked "why Vanu?" they would talk about the coolness of the tools the Vanu had to play with or the fun mechanics Vanu were given. But when a member of the TR was asked similar questions they would speak about their faction as if it were a real and tangible thing rather than a video game. Where a Vanu looks for the coolest thing to play, a TR is looking at the situation as a true war where coolness and cosmetics are non-issues.

A member of the NC however is less worried about ascetics, but rather they seemed to be concerned with smack talking and competition. Once again, I believe the most fun from this game will be taking it as a true War and the TR seem to fill this niche. Maybe I just need to find a great TR outfit that takes things very seriously (perhaps I could find this on all factions).

I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I went and memorized the history of any of the factions or that I even know what I'm talking about. But from the few months that I've been following this community I have witnessed immense pride surrounding the TR cause and a level seriousness that can only be matched by serious Role players but fortunately for all of us, that won't be necessary.

TLDR: Fuck vanu

[capiqu]

Me first.

LOL and we have a winner

[Top Sgt]

I think that's a good amount of time and survey so I am going to cut the competition off here. All post above this one will be re-read and 2 will win the keys.

thanks everyone

[NMnine]

I will be playing NC because their tanks are solid. Especially the Vanguard of course :)

Cheers for giving out keys!

Edit. damn it all :P

[Rago]

Good Luck everyone ! And Gz to the Winners

[Top Sgt]

Congradulations to COMET and LOOOPY for winning the giveaway with their posts.

if I come across more keys I will giveaway more fellas.

That is all. Platoon Dismissed!.

[Comet]

A huge, giant thank-you to TRG for being generous and giving the community some creative things to do while we all wait for the beta/release of the game!

If I see TRG in game, I'll be sure to say hello... with my cannon! Haha jk :)
Cheers and thanks again to Top Sgt. and TRG!

[Looopy]

Yea thank you very much for giving us this opportunity TRG! I look forward to fighting along side you!

[Minigun]

I'm getting one for my brother and i'm forcing him to play TR with me. The younger you teach them the faster they learn.

Edit: err or i should check the last page before I post so I know its over :p

[ParisTeta]

Thumb up for the sharing community we have here.

[super pretendo]

I plan on playing TR. I always like saturating the enemy with rapid fire and peppering away at their health. Also, from what I've seen, the community will fit me the most of the three, and I am excited for some intense meta-game animosity between empires.

[Mordelicius]

I'll be with the New Conglomerate.

To quote one of the greatest songs ever:

"Won't you help to sing, these songs of Freedom. Coz all I ever had, Redemption Song" - Bob Marley

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

[Higbys Hair]

Oh boy, can I have one? ;)

[Joomba]

I plan to play NC because their weapons are powered by fucking MAGNETS (how do they work?!).

In all seriousness, I want to modify my weapons so that I am the Medic with the highest damage in the game. A good way to heal my allies is to prevent them from getting hurt, and NC is best for that.

Also, my favorite color is blue.

WIN/WIN/WIN!
