Go and check it out.
If you like GI Joe. You'll love Planetside. I've been playing it for 5 years. It's a never ending persistant first-person-shooter online battle over more then 15 continents. 1000's of people spread out fighting over bases, tower, caves, etc. http://www.planetside.com Love it! Just figured I'd toss it out again.

Every time I've tried it most of the game has been completely devoid of players. It's rather meh, could be a *lot* better. I'll just stick to normal FPS til a confident MMO maker takes a shot at an MMOFPS. (SOE = Fail)

And we normally have what's called a empire population lock on at least 1 of the continents every night. Thats 133 people! And that's allowed for each of the 3 empires. So if you have a 1 continent on the global map at 33% vs 33% vs 33%! That 399 people all fighting it out in 1 zone! That's alot of players. Did you try instant action? If you wanna try again, PM me.. I'll lead you to the BIG fights.. And btw, SOE=fail on some things.. but honestly..no game has ever existed like Planetside. Ever. RPGS etc are easy to do because you fight AI monsters etc.. but every Player, 3 man tank, Battle Robot, 5 Man Galaxy Gunship etc...all real live players at home trying to kill you! I love it!

Back in the days games like Ultima involved everyone against everyone, and honestly Planetside feels way too slow, and balance issues come with everything being player-based, any honestly 399 people spread throughout a large zone still only makes it so big.

All I had to see was the station.com. SOE lost me as a customer when they pulled that crap with SWG a few years ago. I still play MMOs from time to time but refuse to play anything that's affiliated with SOE. Sounds like you're enjoying your game though so, good luck.

Yes but the battle moves from bases to base and each base is spread out all over the map.. That's why you need Team troop transports , Tank and robot raids etc... That is what makes it such a huge fight... When all is quite and then in 2 minutes a wave of 40 sky vehicles tanks and troops come over the his guns blazing like braveheart! It's a rush! Plus, yes I agree... Ultima and others like WoW have Pvp... but it's not Twitch or skill based. If you have a level 70 character on WOW you will beat any character below you until they build a character that can compete.. but on Planetside... It's skill.. You log in and are a fresh player who just picked up a rifle.. but because you have a more "tactical" approach, you can drop a 5 year veteran who is less skilled. Equipment or not. It's tactics. Yes, SOE has problems but what company doesn't? And yes I know your gonna say Blizzard but it's easy to be elite when you release 1 game every 5 years... and only 1.

I didn't even know this game was still going, does it still cost money to play?
I was in the beta test and thought it had some really cool ideas and loved how squads worked. I got to experience some pretty intense battles and also some fun (and amusing) sneaking around on a planet that had only me on one side and a small squad roaming around trying to hunt me down every time I captured a building. Being a big fan of Tribes I was hoping Planetside would offer the same gameplay but more on a massive scale, it's been so long since I played so I don't really remember why I didn't end up picking it up. It may have been SOE because I have quite a long history of disliking every game they were behind, who knows hah. |

PlanetSide is Pay2Play, I'm honestly surprised it isn't dead yet too.
and Ultima PvP was a lot more skillbased back in the day than any of the current bullshit nonsense on the market (WoW - the most overrated log that wouldn't flush included.) |
