I'm good at Planetside... but I'm still too shellshocked from my past Planetside experiences to dare apply.
Hundreds of people... fighting... failing to get anything done... because latency combined with instant strafing causes them to skip around in easily exploitable manner... and 6 hour sieges are undone in 15 minutes from one player hacking bases when nobody else is on the continent.
The horror, the horror. *shudder* War is hell.

Nah, considering my "shellshock," I'm still not sure I can muster enough interest to manage 5 hours a week.ChristmasChild said:
Planetside's last, best chance of getting enough publicity to not become a free-to-play or closed game.Maddenfreak said:
Also this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/contests/register/planetside_war]. Look at the front page or banner ad once in awhile, eh?
That is the great thing about Planetside. There are no other "games like this". It is much more interesting and varied than the twitch style FPS; and it does away (mostly) with the level grind of your typical mmo. Higher level characters can do a greater variety of things, but a low level can contribute and have just as much fun. PS is full of non-fps players. They drive or fly both combat and support vehicles, heal and repair friendly soldiers or vehicles, setup minefields, deploy and upgrade turrets and shields, sneak around as an infiltrator to disrupt enemy activities, or pick a mode of combat that suits them best. Sniping, anti-vehicle, anti-air, grenade launcher in addition to your standard assault rifle or machine gun.dalek sec said:
Because of all the variety, the game can also take some time to warm up to. Your best bet is to get with some helpful people to show you the ropes. Once you get the hang of it, Planetside offers an experience you just can't get with any other game.

srry,but havent been on in a while because I have school and it was cancelled(-56 w/windchill)Brikhous said:
that's what I thought too but there were 2 pieces of news that made me OK with the risk. 1. the game was made in 2003 so the requirements aren't very high and 2. spin said if you can't run it then just PM him and he'll take the key and badge back and you will not get banned.dalek sec said:
Just to clarify, this isn't something you want to do "for the hell of it."Wolf Blade said:
It's a 5 hour plus per week commitment. If you signed up before reading that, you better hope you don't win, or it's bans-ville for you. (Edit: Aside from that, the other three rules basically read, "don't be a douchebag" and should be easy enough to handle by anyone who isn't a poster child of prenatal euthanasia.)From the event description said:
