hi all im looking for a new mmorpg to get into

First off, PS = NOT a MMORPG. Its a MMOFPS - Massively Multiplayer Online First-Person Shooter. It has RPG elements, but it is still at core, a FPS game.


Now, I havnt played in a long while, so I dont know about the new patches and such, but if you are NOT good with fps-type games, dont even try. The game itself is designed so that people with skill at a low level can easily defeat people with less skill at the highest level.


Also, the game is nothing BUT pvp. There is no quests from NPC's - No NPC's at all. Your squad leader makes the quests. The action is complete player-verse-player.

So yeah.

I don't think he knows exactly what this game is all about...

You get weapons and shoot people, the graphics are really good but they could be faster... the devs refuse to do it though.

Go to www.planetside.com and look through the game history and stuff, you can find everything there.

o yea that reminds me, if you have a fast machine, I especcially recommend it.

The best part about the game is deffinitaly the organized outfits, so if your into mass organization with armor, infantry and air support all converging on an objective, then get this. Or if your into shooting the crap outta people then get it too.

I know its late to say this but your ingnorant and dumb, the Devs can just go and say "We want them to have better FPS" and then it just happens. the fact is it is about as good as its gona get.

On topic If your looking for an FPS to play give it a try

That was harsh but so was my post, Rob, you have even stated that it can be improved so please do not rain on my parade.

Id go for it. its definately one of the better MMOs out there, especcially if youre looking for something outside the realm of fantasy and stuff. Ive been playing for a year now, and its still in my top 3 games I play on a regular basis.

You get a free 7-day trial to play the game with. This is one of the best online games ive ever played. Years before PS I always wanted a massive online FPS with vehicles and stuff and now we finaly have it. The hardest part starting out is learning how to find good battles and squads. When I first started I had trouble finding good battles and would wondering around. It would be good to get an infantry "either weapon or max" and vehicle cert to start out with. VR will get you to BR 3 and the certs you need for one infantry or max and one vehicle. Vehicle for getting around since the world is big plus something more effective for combat outside. Infantry "medium assault or AIMAX perferably" as your gonna need something more then agile with a suppressor to combat other infantry. The basklisk is good from getting from point A to point B. Lightning is good as it has decent armor/firepower/speed and only needs one person to use. Reaver also is a good choice but it takes some good practice to use it well. If you like shooting people, tanks, aircraft, explosions, and a sence of conquest and accomplishment then this is the game for you.

I gotta disagree with you Spee. Even if you arent a great FPSer, u can still do very well in PSide by squadding up with some good players and being a tank/buggy driver, medic, combat engineer or air support pilot...

I'm sorry that came out harsher than I had wanted it too,
Yes its true that i used to think it could but i have come to the realization that they probalby can't relay do anything about it anymore, the games is just to complex. And i'm sorry but the people that were missinformed by the very deceptive advertizing that computer assemblers use and bought crappy computers are going to have to suffer though it.
