Man I really want to play that game again, but I know the fact that everybody drives vehicles will kill it for me again. I like to play infantry, and you just can't do that (outside of bases) when everyone else are driving vehicles.

It WAS an excellent game, people did things that resembled they had any strategic thought behind them.
Now its just zerg zerg zerg.
This game was the only game to make me nocturnal.
But there made by Soe. Money fucking grubbbing bastards. Instead of giving already veteran players a reason to stay on, they gambled, and tried to recruit new people with there....4 is it? 4 different ps versions.
From now on. Im only waiting on Ps2...And only if soe sells the rights to someone else.
I played this game for about six months, had alot of fun with it, I liked you could reset a skill ever 24 hours. Its not all about vehicles, the only vehicle I ever drove was four-wheelers.
[12:38am] <+steve> don't speak of tampons in a channel like this
Loved this game to death but as some one said around the end of Sept 03 SOE began to destroy this game...
Some things that began to kill the game for me
1. CC- without a doubt one of the worse expansions for any MMO I have ever played.. Sure it bought some cool wpns but it also brought the dreaded noob/skilless uber Flail that allowed people to have a instint kill button witout doing any work....The caves sucked as well, after the first 2 weeks of release people rarley went down there since well, they sucked for the most part.
2. SOE lag/bug patches- Serveral of SOE's patches caused more lag and brought more bugs then it fixed... It was like a person taking 1 step forward and then two steps back... Sorta like what im going through in WOW right now.....Not good when you cause more bugs with the patches that are suppose to fix bugs.
3. Recertification- some recertification was needed like combining the ams and support vehicles...But my biggest problem was when SOE decided to help the noobs agian and combined Maxes in one cert (5) and reavers with skeeters... After this it became MAXside/Vehicleside/and Reaverside... Gone was the days of the massive troop wars and Vehicle Mowing, Reaver spamming and Max's everywhere took over.
4. Surge nerf- This sent tons of Vets away, the coding of the game could not handle people surging and it allowed people to warp all over the screen.. But it allowed everyone to warp all over the screen so if everyone could do it, how was it a exploit as many called it...Wish they could have just fixed there coding and left surge alone, but O well.
5. Cheats/Hacks- There were all types of cheats/hacks out there for this game. I wish SOE took the approach that WOW did and started banning people left and right, but they did not take a aggressive approach.. In fact it could be said they took the turtle approach... Hacks like Speedstep and the COF hack where around far to long. Im not even going to touch on some of the bugs that were around for ever.
6. BFR's- The ultimate "Skilless Noob Weapon" of all time...I didnt play this game cause I wanted to play Mech Warriors... Too many people hated these things and this alone caused people to leave in the masses....Weird thing is during the first week of these things (when there were breaking down all the time) Planetside actually was fun agian, and had tons of people... But that was because of the Moniliths that we were fighting over, not the BFR's...Many of us wanted them to keep the moniliths and ditch the BFR's but they would just not listen to the people that actually played the game...And gave into the Vultron and Mech warrior noobs.
Anyways I really want to try the game agian, but evertime I think about it I have to tell myself why I left.. And that is why I probably will never go back. SOE could have had something special here, but the screwed up bad here... really bad.

I just played PS this morning, had lots of fun. Plenty of people where on at 9am on a tuesday. The poster that said there was no action, either never played or has an honesty issue. I also have no lag at all when I play. Yes, Graphics are not the greatest, but they are not bad at all.
Zergs? What do you want, its a game of war. Armies fight each other.
There are plenty of people on foot. Personally I go from foot soldier to sniper to tank driver to maxx operater, and then do it again.
I cant play more then an hour or two at a time and usually only every few days or so, but all in all PS is one of the funnest games out right now.
And for thoughs that complain its pay to play...cant say much,cept, its worth my money.

Take a bus, hitch a ride...
what do you expect?
Uhh... that's his entire point... he wants to but he can't because that is exactly what'd happen...
its a never ending tower zerg.....
its fun for a while though.
Do they still call it the 1st ever massively multiplayer combat simulation???
It WAS an excellent game, people did things that resembled they had any strategic thought behind them.
Now its just zerg zerg zerg.

Zerg zerg ??
You do what you want.. if you want to zerg its your choice.
They're still developing the game with patches and stuff every month or so.
It's still a great game
