Planetside Please respond!

Curious how this game is doing , It looks like a beefed up tribes 2 meets halo to me ... Let me know people if you think it's worth 10+ a month Thanks. Also I'm offended TEAMGOD.net was not mentioned in the cheating area we by far own every player out there for the last 8+ years since qtest lol and no recognition I guess that is a good thing.

hmm the vintage of planetside seemed to wear off after a few solid weeks of playing. I could hardly say that it would be worth the $13/month.
Don't get me wrong, it's a really cool concept, and it's executed well. However there seems to be some lacking features which would improve the value of gameplay. I guess one of the most repedative features is the re-capping of all the different fortresses/basses (whatever). You could spend 8hrs closing off a continent and then go to sleep, and by the morning all your team's hard work and efforts are crushed as ppl from differen't timezone's and places in the world come online while it's 4am where you are located.

The other thing that was a big let down is the fact that there's no real reward for capturing a continent. You'd think that they would add something in for the ridiculous amount of time which all the squads put forth to lockdown a continent. Instead, all you get is temporary bragging rights.

I'm still not sure why NC is so nerfed compared to the TR who as uber 1337 MAX's and the Vanu who have deadly lazer weapons, they just seem to be the most unbalanced team of the three.

What was nice the fact that it would take a commendable amount of XP (experienced, earned in combat, like D2) to get implants and the 'better' weapons. This enforces a lot of gameplay and time before a player can have a weapon that isn't uber-weak like the ones you get to start out with.
I also liked the idea of the difference between rank (XP to level up) and command rand (must lead a squad, and be effective: cap to level up). The commanding abilities are very cool in the game, and definately worth the looooooooooong wait while you are training.
Vehicles make this game what it is, I love them, they are all pretty cool and useful. And let's not for get the HART, also an exellent idea, that works quite well when no one can fly around an entire squad.

Well enough of my boring post, ask questions if u wanna know more i guess...



Oh, btw, I've never heard of teamgod.net =p but then again, i stepped away from most publicly served online games after all the uber-cheating broke out. It's just sad that the only way to keep things serious is p2p =(.
*insert rant here*

Yea I figured as much , but alot of these people want fair play compared to the other games out there. Moh died the day the demo came out when some of my friends showed me the exploits it ruined the game for me. SOF2 same thing demo killed it , Tribes 2 seemed like the only game that was pretty good considering nobody hacked it to the point it was impossible to play I noticed no hacks.

Quake 2 , and 3 died with the zbot and nopbot . CS well that is just bot central it is pathetic unless you are into botting up against other bots. UT2k3 seems pretty straight up but then again the game died so fast it is unreal lol pun intended. I'm sure theres some things floating around though, Americas army i wouldn't dare go into since my friends are already hacking it apart. Generals seems pretty decent considering anytime anything different is subjected to the server it boots everyone out but it's a slow paced typ game.

I guess planetside wouldn't be that bad if you are looking for heads up no cheating type of play but at a cost, and I heard it was pretty repetitive. BF42 DC though is fun but the nonstop spawn camping me and my friends throw out it does get boring within 30 minutes 2 choppers overhead and tanks all around it's fun for a quick thrill.

Ya the BF mod called 'Desert Combat' is almost more fun than the regular game =). Also if you look around, you can find more serious servers when a server has a spawn limit set to 90 seconds, that makes for more of a team effort.
