PS is pretty cool

[sterno]

I've been playing Planetside since release and it's definitely more fun that the MMORPG type games. Those games basically consist of clicking the mouse to gain exp doing some repetitive task, and socializing. With PS, being an FPS, you actually do stuff, and then occasionally you socialize.

A couple things to really like about it:

* MASSIVE battles - Literally hundreds of people all fighting in one place.

* Little stratification - Unlike in a MMORPG, where the noobs can't hang with the hardcore addict elite, anybody can play a part. If you can't shoot straight, be an engineer, a medic, or a hacker. Better yet, be a galaxy pilot and ferry people around to the battles, you will be loved by all.

If you want to try it, just one word of warning. If you decide to play as the Vanu Sovereignty, expect some frustration. They are the most complex to play, and they have some key weaknesses that make it very difficult for them to win when faced with equal opposition. If that doesn't sound like your bad, play the New Congolmerate or Terran Republic.
