Want to make Planetside better? Realistic physics. Whoah, there snerdly, before you go off on a tirade about how it's futuristic, it's a game, can't be realistic, and start crying, listen up.
Just 2 things can greatly enhance gameplay: no bouncing back and forth, known as strafing, because that is just ridiculous and relies almost entirely on lag and packetloss to exploit the fact that the game is networked to be where the enemy is not firing, though it appears that you are. Warping, lag, and stupidly unrealistic maneuverability are not conducive to good game play.
Try getting in a point-blank firefight in Fallujah, and in the middle of it, strafe back and forth. See if that increases your survivability.
No hovering aircraft, unless they take a long time to get up to speed. Being able to accelerate faster than a Top Fuel Dragster after spamming enemies endlessly from a static hover that requires no skill on the controls to maintain, itself unrealistic, is death to the game.
Make planes have to take off and land using a runway, or make V/STOL planes that have, like the lack of ping-pong-ball strafing ability in soldiers, more realistic physics.
