It's going to be amazing. Now I just wonder about the impact it'll have on the SLMC! Who else is stoked for the arrival of a true MMOFPS?

While I loved Planetside 1 for nearly a year, Im not sure this can be called a "true MMOFPS" by what I would really like to see in an MMOFPS

though, its pretty much the closest ive seen.

Im very excited, though im kind of expecting a bust just because EVERY OTHER MMOFPS HAS SO FAR TO MY DISMAY :[

Thats because they weren't. All others whom have tried failed at being an FPS first and foremost. This is taking the same concepts from the first, and expounding upon it by making all land capturable, essentially. Not just towers and facilities, but every piece of landscape. Can't wait to hear more from the panel tomorrow.

Tribes 2 had zero to do with Planetside. Jetpacks and spinfusors are entirely different from infantry and vehicular combat.

I seem to recall tribes 2 having vehicles .. light/medium/heavy tanks/planes .. but that might have been a mod >.> It's been over a decade since i played it (gawd lol, time flies D:)

it had similar aspects, but thats sorta where it ends.

the weapons were all crazy in Tribes 2 (spinfusor was cool, you could make your first shot skip on the ground like a frisbee :P) and it did have bombers that required a pilot, bomber/gunner/ and a spot in the very back for a heavy to sit and act as AA for attacking shrikes

but aside from all that, it was mostly CTF for Tribes 2. Planetside is about taking over land and bases moreso, and has requirements for gear / upgrades / MMO shite

Wow, there was an NC Vanguard tank with a huge wing/spoiler on it! They certainly are taking a more interesting route for camo pattern customization...

Anyway, for those who didn't get the memo, everyone who had played the original and subscribed at one point has been given 45 days of play for one last hurrah! Pretty massive combat with poplocked continents left and right. Also, bonuses for number of years (since your character started) and all faction vehicles are accessible if you are certed for it (such as, having the tank cert means you can spawn a Magrider, Marauder, or Vanguard). I've been having a blast, and the parade earlier killed the servers practically. Really fun to play still!
