As has been posted before, people who complain about the flight model are used to flying airplanes.

If you think of the vehicles as helicopters, the flightmodel is actually quite good, and very playable.

Picture the helicopter Airwolf, which had "afterburners" in addition to its normal helicopter stuff, and something like the reaver really flys in quite a similar fashion to how Airwolf did in the TV show, without the loops of course.

It might be nice if you could loop and roll, but this simplified flight model is more than sufficient to provide for good entertainment.

What bugs me about the flight model is that for how simple it is it still manages to gave a few annoying bugs. Most of the time in order to fly in a straight line I have to fly slightly crooked which just bugs the hell outta me.

If you play PS for the content, you're gonna get bored and probably rather quickly. If you play it to get together with people you know and use teamwork and tactics to screw some people wearing different color uniforms over you'll probably have fun for quite awhile.

well the game is great. there were many bugs but its all good. the game is a blast and i plan on sticking around until i get bored which will be a while.

I enjoy the game, but would really enjoy it more if they put more effort into fixing lag, frame rate issues, and bugs.

I'd take better stability and playability over adding more vehicles / content any day of the week.

*takes a deep breath*

lest ye be wanting mineself to devolve unto truly prodigious amounts o' flaming/ranting/general cursing do not be getting me started on yon flight model.

K, I'll reply, cause Hamma loves it when I do.

This game is good. It's not worth 13 dollars a month. People are going to start leaving in flocks. There aren't enough updates. The community communication is lacking. Many people find the game boring. The community is all that is holding this game together, there are many other games that are more fun and are free or don't have a monthly fee.

I'm afraid this game is going to die off. I'm worried that things are going to keep going at the rate right now, and then people will keep leaving. I don't think the community is really growing, as the original hype release has died, and people aren't really attracted to the game.

Hehe, now tell me not to play the game

I continue to enjoy it because I find the core gameplay satisfying and varied, and I enjoy the outfit I play with. Though every game eventually wears out its welcome, I'm definitely not cancelling PlanetSide anytime soon.

Game Scale-8.7
FPS Scale-9.4

It's a great FPS, but it's a decent game. This should have been started a year later, and released in 04.
I do not need an incentive. Handicap yourself by lagging alot, and simply killing someone is a challenge. I challenge myself to get kills despite my lag. My goals are-
Get 1,000 Kills
Get 250 Kills in Reaver
Achieve BR20
Achieve CR5
Have Fun
Meet Awesome People
Grow a Mustache (err, forget this one)
Take over a Sanc!
Stop lagging. (In me dreams!)
Kill Hamma (With a TR on Emerald-TK anyone?)
Take 1,000 bases
Become Millionaire (err, forget this one too)

I'm a self-motivated person, and the people that are staying seem to be as well.

SumYungGui · 2003-07-17, 01:12 AM

I'm utterly convinced that everyone that says 'planetside has no point to it!' is not an FPSer at heart. there's absolutely, positively no point to counter strike (as an example. you could insert battle field, or Tribes 2, or, or, or...) is there? seriously, you play the match, get the scores at the end then *pfft* they're gone and the next map comes up and you play again. and again. and again.

ever heard someone say there's no point to counter strike?

I think of every base as a round of the other games, just that it has no time limit and there's a helluvalot of maps at the same time.

Hamma · 2003-07-17, 02:12 AM

eh, the community is still growing, our forum regs are still steady

Coldman · 2003-07-17, 03:38 AM

Ok, here's what I think...

They need to crank out patches more and add more content faster. I'm really looking forward to platoons and Lodestar but, it was like a month ago that they mentioned them and they still aren't out. I know they are working hard but, we are paying them good money. They should at least try a little bit harder. IMO I don't think the game isn't worth $13 a month which is why if they are gonna keep the monthly fee at $13 a month then they better add more weapons, vehicles, content, etc...

IMO at the rate they are going, they are gonna lose more and more people until the war actually will have an end! Who knows! I maybe wrong! But, until then I'll try to stick around until the end.
