Now, for those of you who do not know what Planetside is, I will copy and paste a bit from the website:

"PlanetSide 2 takes all the groundbreaking features from the original game - massive multiplayer battles, distinct empires to rally around, and enormous continents where intense ground and air combat unfolds ? and adds features that modern gamers have come to expect out of the FPS and MMO genres. With advanced technology, years of gamer feedback, and a new SOE proprietary MMO game engine called Forgelight?, PlanetSide 2 offers a truly competitive and visceral FPS experience with massive warfare, massive customization and massive community.

Across the continents of Auraxis, thousands of players will come together in enormous battles to win control of critical territories and key resources for their empire. With a an extensive skill tree and free-form class-based system, players will be able to customize their soldier, weapons and vehicles to match their play-style, as well as the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Battles can last for days or weeks, so players will need to build alliances and specialized combat outfits to take on long-term strategic and tactical initiatives. With air and ground combat, the battles will be larger and more intense than ever." Source [http://www.planetside2.com/overview]

I'll be most likely going Vanu Sovereignty most likely sticking to Infiltrator. I much prefer their character looks, and their vehicles and weapons are just awesome looking.




I just much prefer how they look. The New Conglomerate Infiltrators look quite a bit better, but I don't really like the NC's weapons and vehicles. The Terran Republic has that weird bug-eye syndrome so many games seem to have in recent times, which just really makes me not want to play them. I don't know why, Tribes Ascend's Blood Eagles have that problem too. The obsession with making our characters look like bugs baffles me. :(

Now that I've got that out of the way, what faction will YOU be going for?

They're all too future-y looking. I don't know. I'm semi-interested in Planetside 2, but the setting and art leaves me cold every time I start looking at it closely.

I guess if I had to pick, the New Conglomerate. The other two look like cheesy superheroes.

I'd say the future-y look of it is what really drew me in. Then it just continued to pull me in as I learned more about it. I like the whole thing about it, the massive scale battles, the large areas to fight in, it all is amazing. It really sounds like what an mmo should be. Most of the time mmo games can only have up to 50 or 60 people in one battle. Sure, that's a lot of people, but it's just not a massive scale battle. *shrug*

Those are only the pictures for the Infiltrator class. Each class looks a lot different than the others.

I tend not to like clean, shiny sci-fi. I like the grittier, dirtier look. More "Aliens" than "Star Trek".

I'm still interested though. Any idea what the time frame for a release is?

I'm afraid I don't have any news on that, although (don't quote me on this) I heard that they were planing an open beta coming out sometime after E3. Totalbiscuit is doing coverage of a large scale battle during E3, so that makes me think that the developers have enough into the game to justify going into beta after E3. Again, though, it's only a rumor that I heard, I haven't anything to back it up. :p

Another TR guy? Heh, I've noticed that there are a lot of you guys out there. I know TB is for them, and a bunch of my friends who were really into the original Planetside (I only played it in passing, sadly :() also were all out for them. :eek:

Welp, I was TR when I played Planetside, I'm fairly certain I'll play TR in the sequel. Although, it does look like my favorite vehicle, the Marauder, has been nixed (along with the entire Assault Buggy class of vehicles), so I'm not sure if that might influence a change in faction...

Also... Ze goggles! Zey do nothing!

Well, the designers said they had plans to add in things over time, so maybe they're just waiting until later to do it. :p

TR for me thank you very much I'll have none of this purple nonsense.
But purple has to be the greatest color! 'Tis a combination of Blue and Red, the two highest pureblood colors their are!

New Conglomorate. My choose is mostly based on an article by PC Gamer. It said NC has the heaviest weapons. I like big guns.

Terran Republic for me

We are the only ones who are Trying to bring Order here

NC are Whining about Freedom's and Rights and the Vanu are the Anti-social alien Types

Join the TR for the best Parties

And we have the Cynical Brit on our Side (TotalBiscuit)
