Did you try to get into the future beta? Are you
So, no one cares about the innovashuns this game will supposedly bring?
what happened to that?
For someone who knows little to nothing about Planetside, what makes this a MMO game? From the videos I've seen it just seems like Battlefield in space.
classes? wtf...
also the larger scale looks like the game will be much less fun under a certain amount of people playing than ps1.
original planetside was three sides with persistent world divided into smaller continents/islands connected via large warpgates with several large bases and more small towers per island. good days on werner included 3-way battles on a continent with 100+ players locked in a battle lasting several real life days.
it also was an actual strategical shooter. bases were in a supply chain and had nanite tanks (resources) that got depleted a bit every time somebody spawned a vehicle or other equipment from the terminals in the base. a base that ran out would revert ownership to neutral and iirc have unusable terminals for a while, so you actually needed guys that would spawn resource vehicles (aka ants) and make it their job driving to the nearest (or safest, depending on the look of the front) warp bubble and fill their ant then drive all the way back to the base and fill its tank and so on. this opened all kinds of cool interactions and strategies and tactics that you just don't see in a small-scale shooter without proper resources like battlefield or whathaveyounow.
maps? you mean the continents? the number of players on a continent has no relation to how many players you need to contribute meaningfully.the maps are geared towards 500 v 500 v 500 iirc.
