Kinda hard to choose...eh, I'm going with the Vanu Sovereignty.

Our vehicles move freely and our guns go pew motherfuckers!

Terran Republic looks the best IMHO. Besides they are bringing order so how could you be against that.

I'm going for the Vanu Sovereignty. I hear that your interface changes on fraction, is that true ? And that you can have some kind of mech.

New Conglomerate. We are here to free you, whether you want it or not. Now up against the wall ************! I'll probably be a medic, someone has to.
Christ I hope there is an Oceania server this time, the 400ms pings were just a little frustrating the first time.

Each faction does have their own aesthetic to weapon and vehicle design, and the mech is the Max unit which each faction has a variation of.

If you want an extended look at some early gameplay then go check out totalbiscuit's youtube channel, he has over 2 hours of livestream footage from e3 he posted a few days ago.

OT: I'm torn between terran republic an the vanu, going to have to get in game before I can decide.

Hmm first thread ive seen for planetside 2, which is looking totaly awesome i might add. Watched several live streams from E3 over the last couple of days, picked vanu sov because i like the idea of a more tech based team as opposed to straight up fire power.

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.
Futuristic look in a Science fiction game? Say its not so!

OT: Terran Republic. I plan on playing as an engineer or a MAX.

Oh shaddup. I go on to specify what I meant by that.

I don't like glossy shiny sci-fi. I like dirty grimy sci-fi. At the very least, I don't like glossy shiny sci-fi as depicted by the art team working on Planetside 2.

I'm still loyal to NC after the amount of time I cruising around in vangaurd tanks in the original game

I assume Dust would be a better pick for you, then.

It's hard to tell from the pictures. But which side is the least techy, and uses the junkiest weapons/vehicles?

Cause that's who I'd want to pick.

Never played Planetside so I dont have any faction loyalty at the moment, though Im interested in the game.

Going purely by looks I like the VS the most. Theres just something about that sleek futuristic look that appeals to me. Although as I understand it there are thematic differences with each faction too so Im not sure looks should be the only thing you decide your faction on.

I am very interested in playing PS2 but never played the first (subscription fees don't sit well with me) and was glad to see talk of it here.

I noticed there is a badge here on the Escapist for helping the Escapist users in a Planetside event in 2009. Is there likely to be some kind of unofficial Escapist outfit in the game? If so, I'd just join whichever faction is involved in that.

Probably Terran. It's not out yet, is it? There was "preview" talk of it at E3 so I'm assuming not.

Anyone know if it's F2P, its evil cousin P2W, or subscription based?

The closed beta is expected to begin in about a month. It will be free-to-play on what looks like a similar model to how Tribes:Ascend does it.
