Hrrmmm, well, empire-bashing aside, the way most people probably choose their empire is by checking out the info on the empires' specific weapons and vehicles, and checking the screenshots to see which has the coolest uniforms.

As for being released in Australia, couldn't tell ya.

well i simplylike the Vanu dudes, they look so cool, shiny uniform and stuff, btw do u guys have AIM or MSN so we can talk about the game?

I like the Vanu, too. :)

I think most of these guys have been following the game for a long, long time -- so they know every scrap of info that the developers have let on to.

Also, several people here are DEFINITELY in the Beta -- Hamma, for instance.

I like the Vanu based on what I have heard about them -- and I love the idea behind their MAX armor, which has a lot of vertical capability with its jumpjets. I like the idea of being the non-standard race -- the other two look essentially like ordinary, techno-military generic scifi stuff (granted, very well designed and executed). But the Vanu are different, and even though that may not be huge in Planetside (1 out of 3), the fact is that he Vanu are pretty unique almost no matter what game you look at.

And of course, thanks to the common pool weapons and vehicles, we know that they will at least play fairly similar to the other 2 factions -- so, even at the worst (like, the VS MAX's jumpjets suck in practice, or the energy-based weapons REALLY don't measure up in practice -- even in a worst-case scenario, you can fall back on the common pool weapons that ALL players have access to, and be on an even footing (and just look a hell of a lot cooler).

im sure there all the same goodness, but the vanu look so cool

Most people you see that talk about PS & have their empire selected have done extensive research. They have read through ALL faq, there is plenty of info on quite a few sites that tell you what you need to know, ie: empire selection, particular certs, etc. Although many decisions aren't "etched in stone", one could get a pretty good idea on what their main focus will be, goals they want to accomplish. Think of it like you were planning a trip, you wouldn't wait until the last minute to decide where it is you were going would you? A little research & reading can pretty much point you in the right direction!:thumbsup:

the video one gamespot that I watched said it would be out in the summer :mad:

id guess planetside would come out in Austrailia at the same time as US because dont austrailians speak english, and besides open beta will be out before then (beginning of May).
