PS is fun, the new weapons and vehicles make it even better, but the caverns dont get much attention, i dont like em, they lag, my 2 cents

Fairweather Johnsons really piss me off, but some people are just emotionally inept and can't handle the downside. It's understandable, some people just get fed up and need to take a break. It's not an insult, just a fact of life.

I haven't left Planetside since I first got my beta account. In all this time, including super-TR-MAX beta, there has never been a time that the game ruled more than it has now. This is an awesome concept, an awesome idea, and the game itself is thoroughly bad-ass.

The things incorporated into this game, along with upcoming features, just make this game better and better. And people who piss and moan about it sucking, can suck-it and take a hike. There's no comparison to this game, there is no substitute or alternative. People have to understand- this is a revolutionary concept, the first of its kind. OF COURSE it is going to be plagued with flaws, bugs, or problems. And of course there's always going to be a flock of malcontents who whine and gripe about everything.

If you're considering coming back, and you're looking for affirmations that it's changed, I'd say "Yes, yes it has". Come on back, the door is always open to people who have seen the light.

Now that the servers have merged, the game has been fun again for me. I don't know the numbers, but I see a lot of lower level players around. Some may just be alternate characters, but it seems like there are some new players joining the game. If I had to guess, I would think that at least the population is holding steady.

For me, fps has been up, lag has been minimal, and populations are high.

I think a lot of people who were fed up with the CC disaster are slowly drifting back.

I think, personally, its getting a bit better. What they need to do, is add a AT aircraft. I am not doing to go into details, but itd be cool.

before the CC release i got bored of it, because the battles seemed to go indoors alot, there were seldom outdoor battles, commanders thought there was no point of having outdoor battles so they just crammed everyone into a facility helms deep style. then when the enemys came it was just cover the doors and wasnt much fun, bases would get blockaded and the whole continental army would just be crammed into one base unable to get out, now the battles are mostly outdoors and its gotten really fun

My thoughts exactly--battling over terrain with vehicles is a definite win.

I want to come back and prolly will but man magazines really hate this this game CC got a 2 lol and Planetside was rated like 6 on top ten disappointments for 2003.After that it made me reconsider but I'll still prolly come back

In GI, PlanetSide got a 9.5 and PC game of the month in May. Pretty good rating if you ask me.

I just came back to PS a couple days ago (haven't played since release) and it's way better. I haven't crashed yet. My FPS around bases is tolerable now, even with a lot of people and vehicles around. The biggest difference I notice is battle size. The server merger greatly increased server population and it's no problem to find large battles.

For me, the game is 100% better than it used to be.
