This.. this exactly.

It's like a dream come true for a game company.

Yes but only 256 per continent and it looks like worse shooter mechanics than the original planetside

We all can forget about Starcraft Ghost.

Having been in the first wave of beta invites thank's to a strategic alcohol drop on RED5 studios i can tell you it doesn't even come close to what i've seen of PS2 and what i remember from PS1, the onlything it's got going for it is PVE and an interesting way of expanding it's content.

The PvP in that game makes me a very sad panda.

I hope cheating doesn't steal the thunder like it did in PS1.

I'm definitely gonna try DUST 514 when it comes out on PC. (We all know it will eventually ;P) I'd also be pretty interested in BF 2143 if they ever made it. 2142 was a pretty fun game.

They hadn't made an MMO before either...

Wow, I'm surprised no one mentioned Destiny. I think Bungie is one of the few developers that could certainly pull off a quality MMOFPS.

Console FPS are borning as shit.

Also as a reply to that locked warface thread, How in the hell is that competing with planetside at all.

Also in reply to that one:

Looks pretty cool...

Is it in Alpha? Because otherwise that would be kind of lame to say it had better animations.

Better graphics? It looked pretty good but I'm not convinced on that based on the trailer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that due to it being in Alpha, the ragdoll stuff isn't in the game yet...I know it's using the physx engine, though my knowledge regarding that kind of stuff is relatively limited.

@Warface video

Smiled at "Modern shooters are too complex"

Yeah. Yep. That's the problem with the FPS genre right now. Too much complexity.

some posted about warface being competition for PS2.

I have been in the warface beta (russian version) for a long time now

The game is small.. small maps and built like cod.

Big problem with spawns in the game.. the spawn do not change at al so all games besides search & destroy type end up 1 side being spawn trapped as players quickly figured out where the side spawed at every single time.

you literally shoot a guy dead and he will respawn within 3 feet of that area again in 5 secs.

It's not a horrible game or anything .. but it's nothing like planetside and is def not on PS2's level or even close.

I made a youtube video about it on my channel a long time ago now.. Check it out if you want.
