Certs don't mean anything, you don't ever become a 'better soldier' just can use more weapons. That's why at BR1 or 2 you are already killing people, you have the same power as someone much higher.

Character advancement means NOTHING in Planetside, they wanted it that way - people who play 20 hours a day don't earn an advantage. Battle Rank 1 with your starting 4 certs is just as powerful as Battle Rank 5 - basically. Only things really powerful are implants, and then only 2 of them (Darklight and Surge)

Once you are BR12 you basically are done with advancement. 15 certs + 2 implants is really it, after that it's just eye candy to say you are BR20, CR5 etc

If you are looking for a strong RPG style in Planetside you are going to be upset. It's a first person shooter. One that has centrally controlled servers and some nice content, but it's an FPS through and through. The battle rank system has very little impact on gameplay. The bigass battles are fun as shit though, especially the bridge fights. Stand behind a hill with your phoenix and hit noobs on the other side by shooting over the top and guiding it in, that shit owns.

Once we figured out the interface and the friendly squad tracking ect, it jumped forward in the fun factor. I see some pretty cool opportunities for groups of people who play alot together to do neat stuff.

After we figured some things out, we stated attacking our own targets instead of following the zerg everywhere. This was were it is gonna be the most fun IMHO. Getting dropped behind enemy lines, hacking bases and smokin respawners while we do it :)

Toad owned us in kills last night tho. Bastad ;p

But the fun will wear off real fast with this one, Their are a few games out (FPS) that seem to have the same type of gameplay , Battlefield(DC)1942 is one, Capture spawn points , and you dont have to pay $13.00 bucks a month for it. I was in beta and when it ended I was alread bored to tears with this game.. Game is just not deep enough. but thats just my 2 cents..


I hope a good game comes out soon, Too many Knock off EQ style games, and FPS with the same old style of game play, just seems like a bad nightmare in the Online gaming world.

I really dunno how i will feel in a month or two, but i think this game is better then the other FPS's cause its massively multiplayer....also i like the persistant stats for outfits and individuals. But time will tell.

All i know is i can't wait to go home from work to smoke someone ;p

[Mindgames]

This game is intess...
I love it and its my dream game since Rogue Spear...
I cant stop fuking playing it... its more addictive than EQ lol
I cant wait till i know what im actually doin and the game will be 10 times more fun.
Last night me and Jengo were owning peeeps soo hard in a tank and i was laughing and yelling irl. Jengo running people over left and right and i was pumpkin bombing the hell out of everything. I am so glad this game rules heeeheee.
The only bad thing is, its kinda quiet at 9am trying to find people to kill because everyone is asleep after war-ing till 3 or 4 am the previous night, and the best thing about this game is the more people on a server the better :P
Toaday is kicking all our asses in the points department thus far you go boy. He caught on maddd quick: :cool:

I also worry about going bored in a month or two but you know sony.... they will make changes according to the games needs and i dont think they will let us down on this one. I think the points system will keep us going but i also agree the game needs more depth... the beta got me bored as well but.... there is a big difference and that difference is thousands of more players.
In beta i was spending a lot of time looking for a fight, since the game went live its the complete opposite im at the edge of my seat as soon as i leave the sanctuary... Sony is already talking about adding and making some changes which keeps me peaked. I really like this game and cant ask for much more than it already is so im gonna ride this one out. Another thing with beta is i wasnt playing with friends and people i knew which made it boring. But going out to brawl with Gray, Lesa, Toad, MM and everyone watching their back and them watching mine is 100x more fun than beta also. Join us its hella cool

[GrayRage]

Yeah, i decided to make a second char to play when lesa is playin. Gonna make a tank driver/engineer so she can be my gunner when she is on. Think my other guy is gonna be more solo set up with Heavy armor, rocket launcher and phoenix missles. The cool thing is if u fuxxor up u can chage skills :)

Also, i would be playin now with u if i did not forget to load the shit on my portable :( Dunno how well its gonna work on wirelss tho ;p
