so what makes it better than normal mmofps like counter-strike and ut2004 ??

The reason that Planetside is better than any run-of-the-mill First Person shooter is simple: How many Unreal maps allow 600 people to be fighting for a single base using dozens of aircraft, tanks, and standard infantrymen? None.

do any roles get any grief? ie snipers? ( i like to sniper, not that i dont have skill.)

HawkEye · 2004-05-01, 11:39 PM

ElmoReale · 2004-05-01, 11:42 PM

i see... well not sure thats a good thing :S so is there an rpg eliment to this game??

The BR and CR ranks...kinda like XP grinds. Shoot a friendly=Grief Points!

Dont worry about grief points. They are part of the game.

Dharkbayne · 2004-05-02, 02:57 AM

I usually have under 50 grief, if you get over 300, you're either being an ass, or you aren't paying attention. Snipers usually get no grief, since you see your target and identify them way before you attack, and if you accidentally snipe a friendly, you fucking suck.

I enjoy this game on many levels. Comin from Tribes2,I see some similarities and also many differences. The main things this game has to offer are variaties in roles(sniper,tank driver,pilot,hacker,infiltrator,medic,etc) and HUGE battles. Lets not ferget this is a 24/7 Global War where territory changes every 10mins or so.It shall take something better/bigger in the FPS game market to get me to leave.

To the person who negatively commented on suckin if ya snipe a friendly:it happens alot to friendly infils as after a certain distance,ya cannot distinguish them from friend/foe(even with Adv Targeting).Also,if yer supportin friendlies and ya accidently snipe them while they are engaged in combat(and losing) with yer chosen target,then its best to appologize. Grunts always thank me fer snipin some guy they are havin trouble with and we all werk together to get the job done,not worryin about kill stealin

PS. How can I enable a text filter in here? *points to the language* ^^^

Unless it is some stupid ass cloaker that decided to run in front of you. I've sniped several friendly cloakers (and enemies for that matter) a couple times.

neither counter-strike nor UT2004 are MMOFPS. neither of those games support massive amounts of people at the same time. the servers are all smaller then 128 people. PS is a true MMO because it supports thousands of people simultaneously. neither UT2004 nor counter strike can support battles of 300+ people all in the same area PS can.
