Its a little too late to argue about what its going to be, its pretty much hammered out

Its certainly not going to be tribes imo.

[Hatte]

If you like tribes so much, go play it =P

[Whoracle]

have been and will continue too.

but i still am for having more movement in the game instead of keeping it like every other FPS known to man

[Hatte]

Wouldn't including jetpacks make it alot more like tribes, which it is close already?
planetside is a new type of game, i'd rather not see it be just a larger scale tribes.

[Whoracle]

but it isnt that new.

its a combination FPS + MMORPG with warfare as the theme (duh)

its been done before. i beta tested a game liek that. FPS + MMORPG. it was fun as fuck but then it went P2P and i got tired of the bugs and bullshit from the players.



and PS is already like 95% of all FPS games out there in the fact that it is restricted to the ground.

[Hatte]

hmm is that so? maybe you should read through this: http://www.planetside-universe.com/c...=sdVehicleInfo

I dunno but a few seem to be air vehicles. But the fact that it is similar to other FPS is in escapable, but on the large scale of things, PS is more like a huge game of risk.

[Whoracle]

i meant for ground troops. if you arent in a vehicle (like in bf1942 etc) you are just confined to the ground. that sucks.

[Hatte]

i think it adds challenges and unique strategies, hiding on top of a building a sniper could do damage yet be safe from most attacks. Also using cover and scouting will be more essiential in PS than any other game i can think of, there aren't small maps that the vets know off by heart, but 10 huge maps that might never be memorized.(hm strayed off topic a bit) back to cover, if you can rush(jetpack) in, over hills or trees in a few seconds what good is cover to the scout or sniper?

[Doobz]

dude, this is supposed to represent combat in a war, not some weird frag competition. the designers want SOME semblence of realism, otherwise the buyer would just be buying a beefed up version of tribes 2 (which SUCKED imo) and paying for it monthly.


JETPACKS SUCK ASS

[Hatte]

I agree. we dont need another tribes, xbox has one coming soon tho.

[Whoracle]

so instead settle for beefed up version of every other FPS known to man

whatever its apparent its not gonna happen but its still silly that not one single type of unit gets something similar.

[Hamma]

T3 is on tis way..

lets stop this jetpack discussion, because there are no jetpacks in PS, and the chances we will see jetpacks in PS are very slim. When they do, then we can talk about it

this isnt meant to be tribes or be like tribes, its meant to start a whole new era of gaming.. i am excited to see what happens
