I just had a thought that might seal the deal, though, and I don't think it is too much of a stretch of the imagination. In your average FPS, you have multiple game types, i.e. CTF, deathmatch, what-have-you. PlanetSide seems to be focused primarily on the "capturing a base and holding onto it" sort of game, but [unlikely feature]wouldn't it be neat if, over time, PlanetSide could incorporate other objectives besides attacking and defending bases? I guess what brought this thought to my mind, was a desire to have an adrenaline-pumping "chase" scenario, such as what you often find in a CTF game. Even if it's something as simple as "capture the Terran briefcase and return it to your base for 500 BEP" or whatever, something like that would be a pleasant sub-game and would further entice your average FPS player. In fact, a CTF-style objective in PlanetSide is the only thing I think I will miss about other FPS games. I know it's unlikely that these kinds of changes will ever be made, and I'm usually not one to propose features to a game that's very much out of my power to design, but I had to get it out there and see what people thought. Here, we get not one, but 2! Dev posts to whet your appetite....

As for you worrying that there is no adrenaline-pumping chase senario....Think of you being chased by 15 people wanting to kill you. Would that do?

Stay tuned. http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p...ML/001906.html
