Faction and playstyle


Hey!
I hope i'll be soon a new player .
Got some question about the factions.

I really donno which faction i should choose, and i ask for some advice from the player who already play !
Like difference between weapon, vehicles and so on...!


And also i would like to ask if u can try all the factions with 1 account or your account is releated to 1 faction (So u need more account to play all the factions)?

Sorry for my bad english
Thnx!

You can try every empire with one beta account easily

Best advice is don't listen to a thing anyone on here says (including me) and try them all yourself in the game and decide. You're going to get the best idea based off looking at the weapons, armor, vehicles, etc for yourself and deciding which you think is the coolest and most fun looking for you.

Basic idea.

Vanu Sovereignty = higher technology, energy weapons, versatility, hover tanks, scientists and extremists.

New Conglomerate = Freedom Fighters, Business Men, Do it yourself, Hard hitting magnetic weapons.

Terran Republic = Loyalty and Unity to the Republic, Disciplined Military, Traditional and effective weapons, These are the guys the other 2 factions broke away from, Big clips and fast fire rate.

But if you really wan't to know. Play Vanu Sovereignty cause they are the coolest, best, and overall anyone who doesn't play them doesn't have any taste whatsoever

So, are there several characters you can make to side with the individual factions, or do you switch around them with one (in this case I assume you cannot transfer acquired resources)?

so is it like WoW where u can create different number of characters with different factions? or u are only allowed to create 1 character in the beta version?

Re: Faction and playstyle


I personally enjoy my TR Medic/Marksman a lot, and from time to time I get myself a nice tank or jump in a mate's Liberator.
Really depends on the situation and what you like, but since the beta is pretty much an open playground, just try out a few things and see what works best for you!

Re: Faction and playstyle


Difference between fractions are very little, for example:
-VS and TR has semi automatic sniper rifle, but NC has to reload after each shot (but do more DMG and headshot means instant kill)
-VS heavy tank shots dont drop so you dont need to aim higher when target is far away.
-NC Max has shotgun as anti infantry weapon, VS and TR has machineguns

I choosed NC just becasue of main menu music
