Equipment

[qofcourse]

As far as real life equipment for Planetside ..

1. Should I get a headset? Is voice chat used often enough to make it worth it?

2. Should I get a nice joystick? Will I need rudder, throttle, lots of triggers, hat switch, etc? Compared to BF1942, how are the vehicle physics?

Thanks in advance, I want to compress all my purchases into one big trip to Best Buy =)

my guess, and I am a n00b at PS but a vet of other online fps squad stuff is get the headset if you are going to play seriously. joystick, not so sure, I control the flying vehicles w/ the mouse and keyboard just fine. It's not like bf1942, the "planes" can hover and strafe, etc.

having a clan and team speak is really handy considering that in a fire fight you dont have time to type and fight

i havent tried using a joystick but i should help, the only problem is the air vehichles work like helicopters

hope this helps ya

I was in beta and I would say yes get a headset and a good joystick but don't go to best buy they are idiots who overcharge. I went there one time and asked them whats a good laser mouse and the guy said. "Whats a laser mouse?"

imo dont get a joystick, controlling a reaver is just fine for me with keyboard, cuz its a helicopter physics. thank god. bf 1942 i could never get it to work

newho i am thinkin about gettnig a headset so it may be a goodidea especially if u wanna be a big commander guy
