Convince me to play Planetside... - Page 2

You are only going to have fun playing the TR at this rate.

VS are still the best IMHO, Led.

But anyway, I'm a veteran EQ player too. But me and my brother LOVED the HL games (and mods, like NS

) and have always competitively played FPSs. PS is a great game. For some odd reason, it either lags really bad or some bug is causing my fps to drop to about 3 in big battles... and the gameplay still needs a bit more tweaking... but yeah. Decent game so far. Good idea, room for improvement and expansion, good dev team. I'd do things a bit differently but I'm a different person, so no wonder there I guess.

This game is much like NS is, but as of now, to a lesser extent. Voice com = the shiz. It's make coordination of movement and communcation top notch. It's what turns your sqaud from kinda good to l33t. I know... there are utilities like TS2, but the average player doesn't seem to want to improve communcation that much to have to go and download something else.

But yeah. I dreamed that this game would be perfect. I was wrong... but I'm not disappointed by any means. I'll have to see if I'll stick around forever and ever.

VS, TR, both better than NC right now.

I found it really funny that when my phoenix rocket took five full seconds to go 200 meters to explode two feet in front of a spitfire turret (yes, it only goes 200 meters now), I was shot dead by someone with a lancer.

Planetside = bigger and better Tribes

Tribes = win

example:

10 min dogfight against another mosquito.

chasing each other all over the map, run, gun, afterburner out...dive! whoa..pull up!...reload..."where is that son of a....oh crap!" afterburner over the hill...hide in the trees and gullies...

"MISSLE LOCK"

"oh oh"...afterburner on..."damn groundpounder Max punkazz.....now, where'd that .......oh, there he is! DIE!!!"

I think a lot of people will ultimately be disappointed with Planetside, unfortunately. Although I am still enjoying it, many friends of mine who started Beta with me about a month ago aren't even playing anymore. I think PS is fun, but so far it just doesn't offer the depth required of a pay-to-play game.

That's simply because it's a beta, you can't judge it now. First off it's not even completed and second any respectable MMO will have tons of downloable shiznit to make it interesting. I know i'm not disapointed at all.

It's a beta - understood. Still room for improvement. Downloadable content certainly helps if its frequent enough. If we get a new gun every six months - well, you know what I mean. I'll wait and see.
