Which side should you choose?

[WaryWizard]

There might be a better place for this, but I'll post it here. Planetside 2 will have plenty of new people coming to the stage.Me being one of them. I first found out about planetside about a year after its release. I never played it because my pc was terrible. My cousin however owned the game, and I watched him play it a few times. Even though I never played it, I saw how awesome it could be. With Planetside 2 coming out I am sure my pc can at least play it. Maybe not on max settings but it could run on a good framerate.

Now we get to the main point. After getting the game you are given a threeway choice. NC TR Vanu. What faction do you choose? I can not settle down on one faction. I am kinda leaning towards Vanu atm, but I could easily go with NC or TR. I know a little on how each play and all of them good pros/cons that I can use.If you guys could post highly biased opinions to persuade me/us hopefully me and other newberts could make a choice.

Vanu is the faction for men, were not pussies who make love to women, we need a mans strong embrace to make love, also we have the balls to wear purple.

Mind you our weapons while they might be good today, probably wont be tomorrow.

IMO:

It all depends on playstyle. If youre new at FPS, go for TR, Also they arepowerful if youre good too, Alot of the weapons are automatic mass bullets, some would say Spray and Pray, However if youre good, you can take people out a little bit faster.

If your into shotgun and go, NC may be your playstyle, IMO NC excel indoors, where a shotgun is best (close range) they are good for many other things.

VANU have a good splash dmg radius, so you can damage mass people alot, also good for indoors, and outdoors too... Theyre all a dif playstyle, you have to decide...

TR Point.
NC Spray.
Vanu Splash.

Just my opinion.

Do you like BIG canons and hitting HARD ? -> NC
Or do you prefer giving a softer touch to your attacks ? -> VS
Or maybe you just prefer a more dominating approach in your tactics... -> TR


I'm VS and I like purple.

[cellinaire]

Vanu all the way ^_^b

[Shade Millith]

I'm a damn purple dinosaur!

Barney fo life, yo!

[VioletZero]

My preference would be the Terran Republic.

Cuz da red wunz go fasta

[Grognard]

As I understand the three factions... short version goes...

1. Terran Republic - Imperialistic attitude, with a high volume of fire military doctrine.
2. New Conglomerate - Rebellious attitude, with a low volume, hard punch military doctrine.
3. Vanu Sovreignty - Technophile attitude, with a high tech advantage military doctrine.

So if you like a 9 mil Beretta go TR, if you like a .45 cal go NC, if you like a phaser go VS...

[xSquirtle]

NC is where its at. Though I like the TR's mossy much more then the lame NC one

[deltase]

i like phasers so i'd go VS?

[VioletZero]

Personally I would prefer rapid firing pulse lasers for Vanu. :3

But yes, that is the case.

[MGP]

I'm going where the Reavers are. The NC.
I'd like to stay TR, but they're really don't have much to offer besides just a fast-moving vehicles.
If you prefer to run - go TR.
If you prefer to fight - go NC.

[CutterJohn]

Of course you can't decide. You're trying to make a decision based on looks alone. Why not do something crazy like wait to play the game a bit, and see whose gear you prefer, before making a choice?

[Vash02]

Dont know if anyones noticed for a while but the poll on the sites homepage has 2800 votes and all 3 factions have 33% each.
Awesome.
