So I was complaining to my friend that I didn't see any MMOFPS's

Welcome to the winning faction! We also look the best! Can't argue with that!

All you NC players will think those prowler shells coming your way are 4th of July fireworks :P

to op:
cycles post sums it up really good.

maybe you should also check some planetside 1 videos on youtube as well.
the graphics are really dated, but the epicness shows very good. and you can see what it´s all about. just replace the outdated graphics with the graphics of ps2 footage in your mind.

the best parts of planetside, that make it so different are those two:
massiveness and persistence! no rounds, no autoleveled 6vs6 matches, just one big ongoing war on big continents with thousands of players fighting all on the same map!

and meta game strategiies on top of that! it´s not about killing the enemy, it´s about taking bases and defending them at all costs. you can choose to just kill enemys, but the real fun comes from understanding the possibilities and doing missions that help your empire in the actual situation.
no other shooter had this level of strategy ever!
and you can totally choose to play the game in your very own playstyle! almost everything ispossible. dogfight flight simulator, vehicle combat game, rambo egoshooter, splintercell type stealth sneaking game, medic and engineer play and lots more!

Welcome to the NC.

You chose the right game.

You chose the right faction.

[Baneblade]

The only thing you need to know is that no matter which faction you join, don't get in front of my tank.

[Rodel]

Did we mention there's a lot of faction loyalty in this game.

...pst pst. NC are like the cat people of the Universe. If you want that... but you know your a dog person.

You can drive tanks, quadbikes, aircrafts, transport vehicles. One dropship can contain enough people to fill a normal FPS team. There is 2000 people per continent per server. One continent is 8x8km in size.

Forgelight. The night combat is so dark you actually need that night vision for a change.
And the tracerfire will make you squirt your pants.

Customization. There is all kinds of mods for every weapon in the game, and all kinds of secondary equipment to choose from as well. All weapons and armor can be decorated with camoflage in all colours.

You will fight for pride and glory for your faction, not your k/d ratio. You will experience hatred for the other side like you've never felt before. When you win back something you want to push it in their faces and rub it around. You won't know epic scale fighting until you've been in the heat of action in Planetside 2.

Now, that's my kind of game right there!
