HOLY SHITTING HELL

So, Planetside, in my expert opinion, the best MMO and FPS ever made. Thats all you need to know. They're making a second. Currently its going to be a F2P model, much like League of Legends, where you can buy customisations (not 100% sure what this means, but I'm guess weapon addons, not actual weapons) and skins I'm guessing. Hundreds of players, fighting over a persistent battlefield in order to be superior over their two enemy factions. Its got infantry combat, urban combat, open ground combat, air vehicles, tanks, basically everything you want in a modern shooter, but with like 10 times the amount of players.

Anyhoo, theres beta sign ups on their website, so get a signing.

While I never played Planetside nor know much aboooot it, an MMO shooter always seemed interesting to me (World War 2 Online)

Take it from me, no other game compares to how great this game was. Even, dare I say it, better than DF.

Here's hoping for a real sequel to one of the best MMOs I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

Here's a shot at hoping, just hoping, not expecting in any way, that there will be no subscription fee.

*dreams on*


Also, hoping they do something about those stupid tower and gen room clog ups that happened all too often.

I has a qwestion though, how much will we have to pay? I'd be more interested in a free to play thing, because, well, yeah...

EDIT: ^ yeah, what he said.

Please not a F2P please not an F2P...

Okay, an F2P would be okay, but ONLY if they go for the "Subscription Club" payment system.

If they use microtransactions there is no way in hell I'm going to play it.

I suppose the game would be higher quality in general if you had to pay a subscription fee...

But going subscription-based in the Post-WoW era is suicide for an MMO.

it's HIGHLY likely they will use a similar payment model as DDO, LotR and now PotBS.
