I have a dilemma...

SquirrelMan · 2004-01-12, 08:44 PM

this happens EVERY SINGLE GAME I ever play, I end up stalemating myself on what empire/side/class to choose.

Anyway, I dont like the terran republic, but I like their weapons

I like the new conglomerate, but I dont want to be on a side that is "overpowered," i guess, and has so many of the idiots as some people say it has

I do like the Vanu Soveriegnty, but I want to know in general how they stack up in terms to the other empires

I just want to know the people on the empires are like, in general, i guess.

and please dont say i'm thinking too much about the game, I get that a lot.

Everyones motto can be summed up in thier MAX units.

VS: ho-Ho! Im stealthy and camoflaged and can get places where you cant and am CRAZY looking!

NC: IVE GOT A FUCKING SHOTGUN ON MY ARM. DONT SCREW WITH ME.

TR: Um..We're Stationary?!

NC isn't overpowered over all, though its HA is, i don't like HS much i'm better without it. I say go NC but i'm baised.

If you liek maxe take VS, if you like mixing it up up close go NC

also, i'm deciding empire based on beliefs, history, etc. It's hard to tell who has the best intentions with all the propoganda...

Alright, without being biased, or funny, heres a rundown, since I play all 3 empires.

VS was created so they could further advance Vanu/Human technology, as well as keeping it out of the hands of the more careless factions. They view the others with open disdain, thinking the NC brutish and the TR unrefined.

TR wigged the fuck out when the factions split. One reason, because if the wormhole opens back up, Earth is going to PWN them like dirty little noobs, and secondly, because no one defies the republic. You know that bible thing? Dont argue with your parents? Well, the NC and VS are the bitchy little teenagers, and the TR is the overworked single mom trying to control the two little brats.

NC was founded on the whole "I hate big brother" idea. Theyre for a freer society, yadda yadda. They hate the VS due to thier want to alter the human genome away from its original state, whether it means a more efficeient, stronger race or not. They hate the TR because the TR are a bunch of Nazi's, to them. Thus, they make shotguns that tear people apart, and outfit everyone over BR6 with surge, so they can move fast AND kill people. However, due to the massive amount of people on this side, due to said equipment, they are despised by all (read: Non NC) And I, an experienced NC player, can tell you - Dont surgile. I did, and it is the CHEAPEST thing you can do. If I catch you doing that, Ill thwack you with my gigantic e-penis. And no one wants that.
