Will Planetside live up to all this hype? What if it sucks?

[Jaged]

What if planetside isint fun? What if all the fighting takes place on one continent. *cough* beta tester told me that was happening *cough*. Wouldn't it gor boring fighting for the same base over and over. And if you think about it, some continents will be hard to fight on. The one that is full of moutnains will probably get very little action. There is also one continent that is made up of islands. The Vanu should pwn this continent due to their ability to cross the water gaps between the islands. After thinking about all this, I am very concerned about how fun Planetside will be. Please prove me wrong!

Being a Beta tester doesn't free you from the burdens of stupidity.

Wouldn't it gor boring fighting for the same base over and over.

Not really. It's the action that would make it entertaining. If the environment is good, it'll allow for an innumerable number of ways the fight can progress, making it new each time, despite having played there before. It's like Dust in Counter-strike.

The Vanu should pwn this continent due to their ability to cross the water gaps between the islands.

They'll have an advantage in certain situations, sure, but they won't "pwn" a damn thing outside VR if they can't fight better than the other guys, which is what it comes down to in the end.

Please prove me wrong!

Try and find a Beta tester who is displeased with PlanetSide.

<--- Beta Tester

VERY pleased. Wait until you get into your first LARGE battle, you wont care wear you are fighting. Tracer rounds flying everywhere, rocket smoke trails hanging in the air, tanks blasting away at eachother, air vehicles buzzing overhead.

You wont be disappointed.

Im not a beta tester but what i read i dont see how the game can suck i cant wait until it comes out

[Jaged]

I already found one beta tester who diddnt like the game. Thats the one who told me all that stuff. I am very glad to know all you beta testers are pleased. But still, keep it comming.

you are correct sir!

If planetside sucks, it's back to quake2 with my friends for me.

[Squeeky]

It is fun

[TheGreatCarbini]

Fighting in the same place is boring and no one will do it?

You're right, no one is going to want to do that.

But on a different note, theres goign to be so many people playing that I INCREDIBLY doubt most action will be on one specific island. Maybye the sunny island where it never rains and theres not a cloud in the sky will be popular... but I'll be rockin the snow base while you get a tan And i know others will too.

yea, Lord only knows how generations of Previous FPS survived..

And if you think about it, some continents will be hard to fight on. The one that is full of moutnains will probably get very little action. There is also one continent that is made up of islands.

its called a Challenge!!! Thats one of the fun parts about games!!!
(well unless you are the smacktard type that relies on GameSharks and cheat codes)

My only concern would be not enough people playing the game (its hard to get people to commit to the monthly fee since most FPS fans have never had to pay one)

[Tuttle]

Heh this game better not suck...It was actually the deciding factor in me getting a job so that I could do some massive upgrades on my computer....sad I know =X

[gondor]

If everyone is off fighting on the same continent then why not go to other "empty" continents and start capturing bases and gaining control for your empire? Isn't that the idea?
