[KianwanCT]

I know to some this might not be new info but they are adding MECHs to PlanetSide.

They should consider adding FUN and REPLAYABILITY to the game first...

And maybe take out some of the too-high-subscription-price?

have you ever played planetside? if so what was it about it you didint like? i've been playing it since about 2 months after it came out, best fps yet is all i gotta say.

and i've always considered their ''max'' units to be mechs /shrug

I beta tested it and I tried one of those free weeks that people who buy the game can give a friend. After beta testing for about a week it bored me to tears and it was actually painful to play so I quit. When I tried the free trial (assuming it would have improved) I quit after about 20 min. I went to a base, got a vehicle, watched it autodrive and then get stuck in a wall. I had no way of jumping out or anything so I had to alt-f4. Never did reload the game. There was no incentive in the game and the leveling system was pointless since you could just make a new char and join in that same battle with different specs.

Was FAR from the best FPS.

The concept was great.Game play was ok.Average FPS shit.

They would have had a major hit if they charged half what they were asking.

The Lattice system was a nice addition IMO.But for some reason I had a lot more fun without it.

The exp after release was absolute garbage.

No incentive to actually level past 12 last time I played.

I KNOW it was a FPS...But some sorta items would have been nice.Control of certain bases or "dungeons" lets say should garner you stronger weapons or something.

HATED the random aiming.I aim for your head.I should hit your head.But I understood the reasoning behind it.

Also..wasnt there already mechs?

I'll tell you what I hated about it. The grief system. Im not a griefer....but I got sick of asshats running in front of me or noobs stepping in my line of fire and then dealing with gun lock.

Their "anti-grief" system blows.

I also agree. some sort of permanancy would have been felt if they added some rare items, armor....make it a little MMORPG "ish". If they made the game moreof a MMORPG/FPS hybrid....it would have rocked. Its just Quake on steroids.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit in beta, and have no gripes about the game mechanics, graphics or any of the setup. The monthly fee was what killed it for me. It was way too high considering all the alternatives that were free, although not on as grand a scale.

Frankly, if that's the sort of IQ you'd be bringing to PS I think the game is better off without you.

Why does this game charge a subsciption fee?

[Szlia]

For the maintenance and quality of the servers and the cost of the bandwidth possibly maybe? Oh and CS too if there is any :P

Best FPS? HAHAHAAHAHA! This is a joke right? Have you even played a REAL fps before? This aim and cone fire in this game just makes it retarded.

[Rythonn]

You can't even call it an FPS since it doesn't require skill. The "cone of fire" is the biggest insult to true FPS games. FPS games are about reflexs and aiming. FPS pfft.
