Hey i was so hyped to finally download the beta version for planetside... since i currently have no intenet (getting cox cable net connection on thursday) I had to download the beta at my friend's house. He currently has the same connection, routed to two computers, 700+ RAM 128MB video card, 2.5ghrtz speed.. and the beta was still pretty lagged, which scared the hell outta me, because my net connection will be routed through 4 comps.. and my comp is only a 1.2gighrtz, 512 RAM, 64mb video card... Want to know if my comp will be lagged if i bought the game? or if i needa upgrade my comp even more than i have...

Wait, do you mean like jumping from one PC to another or a router sending internet to all 4 simultaneously?

Are you the same RedDragon I accidently killed with the boomer last night on Esamir?(Johari server)

That was pretty embarrising for me. I was alone in the CC and was so focused on the door that I neglected to check the minimap. When a friendly Vanu came through the door with a friendly MAX behind I jumped and blew the both of them away.

The guy in the MAX suit was named RedDragon. He was a good sport about it and I repaired his armor later on. It was the least I could do for blowing him up earlier.

I have horrendous lag when facing any TR guns. They open fire and my FPS go to crap. So I adapted, picked up a sniper rifle and spend my time driving things and watching over my squad from a nearby hill while picking off soliders.
