Whenever you attack VS, turn your vehicle's loudspeaker to "It's ok to be gay"

[Toaster]

I just want a Flash horn that plays Dixie.

[Flying Dice]

Whenever you NC types are attacking TR, start playin-DONDONDONDONDON

[darkrider2]

Okay so now that I got my new beefy computer up and running, and its using my universities pretty powerful landline connection. I'm downloading planetside 2.

So uh, what faction should I pick? And on that note, what do I need to know.

[Girlinhat]

Matherson seems popular, along with TR - that combo has become my primary now.

Miller Anything if you want big fights, it's an EU server and densely populated.

[PTTG??]

So we're defending a biolab. I single-handedly drive a tank into the thick of the invading forces, seek and target the invading sunderer, hit it once, but immediately start getting damage. I roll in as close as I can- this all taking place within the reload time of the main gun- and bail out seconds before my tank melts. I duck under an enemy lightning, weave past a hail of bullets, and get close enough to throw two tank mines under the enemy sunderer. In the last few seconds before they arm, I fight on, knowing I won't be able to escape. My mines explode, vaporizing me and several enemies.

And yet the sundy still stands!

For just a couple seconds, before my unknown, but noble backup hits it with one more lightning round, pushing back the TR push and rewarding me with 400 XP.

That was awesome.

Most of us are Mattherson NC, but if you're cool you'll roll VS. 

[Fayrik]

Most of us are Mattherson NC, but if you're looking for easymode you'll roll VS. 

Fixed that for you. 

[Graknorke]

Most of us are Mattherson NC, but if you're looking for lasers you'll roll VS. 

Fixed that for you. 

Doublefixed.
It's not as if any faction has an inherent advantage in equipment anyway. The advantage is massively held by those who dump the most into buying better weapons and/or upgrading vehicles.

I suppose you're sort of right. I hear the VS have the weakest rocket pods... Which means if you're going to pay into the game, you have to make a choice between power and manoeuvrability there.

But you can't deny the inherent simplification of the fact that VS infantry guns are more accurate (or whatever you wanna call it), making them a lot easier to control.

Speaking in terms of lore the only mildly interesting side in that regard are the TR. But I've long since learned that you can't play this game for it's story. Sigh.

It's hard to play a game for story when it boils down to "That dude is different so shoot him."

[darkrider2]

I ended up picking TR cause they're color scheme is cooler.

And wow I need a thousand certs to unlock a rifle. What. I'm barely around 50 at 4 hours of playing.

That's pretty much what I was getting at.

That's what I initially made my choice on... Well, that and the fact their slogan reminds me of the Brotherhood of Nod from the old command and conquer games.
...Wound up playing NC simply because I found a better outfit there.

[Jopax]

I picked the NC because of the looks mostly, also the Vanny is the only FST that looks like a real tank, the Magrider is a flying crab monster and the Prowler is simply stupid looking.

[Imofexios]

I loved playing in VS on planetside 1 and being part of the best teams that time.
Hopefully i find it again on PS2 in few days
Go VS !
