Yeah, blue/yellow carry a very positive connotation (birthday?), and hearing that the NC "dish out/take the most damage" is pretty hard to pass up. Taking advantage of the TR's speed and ROF or the VS maneuverability requires skills somewhat above the amateur level. The majority crowd just wants large shells that go boom boom boom.
Plus, good guys rebelling against a dominant empire is a pretty common theme in American movie culture. |

Eh. I remember checking population polls for SWTOR prior to launch and things were usually pretty even with a slight advantage to the Empire faction. Come launch the Empire vastly outnumbered the Republic on just about every server. To the point where server PvP, battleground and world-pvp, were utterly broken.
Like someone else said we can't really know until we get into the game. Heck the overall populations for PS1 over its life-span are probably better indicators then any poll. |

On Emerald, the VS was ALWAYS underpopulated. Most nights prime time would start out pretty even between NC/TR, both with a small pop advantage over the VS. Then as teh night progressed whoever was winning more between the NC and TR would go up to 40%+, while teh VS would stay sub 30%

most newer players hear that and immediately want what they think is gonna be the faction with the guns that drop people the most.. or air and tanks that kill everything the easiest.. so NC will always be a popular choice. but as hamma says it's usually always close to even. |

Opinions.
And according to almost every public poll taken and the "world map" on the facebook app, TR are the most populated. They always have been and likely always will be. EDIT: As per my experience on Emerald up until now. Can't speak for Markov or Werner back in the day though. |

Would that not also be true for both the VS and the NC? VS are trying to either eradicate or absorb the other two factions whereas the NC are fighting against the "opression" of the TR and fighting the VS to remain separate from them as well? Something along those lines.

I like NC and TR alot, NC mainly because I like the industrial look of the equipment, being a fan of the Red Faction series. It is a nice rugged style. But I like that the TR are professional military.

Okay kinda off topic but what are the weapon differences?
Nc = Most damage, Lowest ROF, Best acc., Lowest Mag. Tr = Least damage, Highest ROF, Worst acc., Biggest Mag. VS = Med. Damage, Med. ROF, Good Acc, Medium Mag. Or how is it? |

I think that seems to be a reasonable generalization. VS of course, have the added twist of using energy weapons, which gives a slight twist to their "middle-ground" stats.
Not 100% sure though. On Topic: NC may have some bias because a lot of the early footage came from NC players. And, personally, the visual style does appeal to me. NC stuff looks meaty and rough, like it means business. |
