I guess this is a bit weird, but hey, I'm a gamer too. Or call it industrial espionage

So I tried, and the game really tested me

Started off with the Steam controversy - downloaded the game, made a SOE account, only to get from the launcher that I'm supposed to register an EU account at Prosiebenwhatever. So I register one there too, only to get told off by the launcher again that I'm using the wrong launcher. After some forum digging it turned out that Steam only distributes the US client and there is no way to play on Steam with an EU account. After reading the official twitter I found out that you can run it after all, with some little .ini file editing (a player wrote this, the devs advised against doing it of course...).

So then I was in the game at last. I had to create a character and choose a faction, and then it deployed me right into a battle.

I was dead in 5 seconds before I could even say whatthehellamidoing

Now, I know we don't have it easy over here either, but duuuude. No tutorial or any friendly pointers, absolutely nothing. Granted, this is my first experience with Planetside, maybe they expected that I know at least the basics? I couldn't even figure out what color I am supposed to shoot, green or blue, because both seemed to shoot me. Some minutes later I figured that I was being teamkilled Roger that, enemy is red.

Anyway, I still had no idea what I am supposed to do, so just followed the mass of ally-looking people and got to shoot at some real enemy at last. I have never in my life seen so many flying tanks, the game's position calculation/prediction leaves much to be desired to put it mildly

Then I had some minor success with the sniper class, but then the ground started to disappear and the client started to lock up or get really slow or something. So I decided to bail for now - not the best first experience

I'll probably check back later, they'll hopefully fix the major bugs by then.

Bad client performance(even worse than perps), no depth. It's only fun for a few hours.

"tweaking stream settings"

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

update time!

Yestday was the most awesome / intense fighting on Esamir ive ever seen often we had 3 way battles with all 3 of the server big outfits fighting at the same time in the same place, it was insane. it would have tipped well over 400 just for the Eisa Tech plant alone & we had to fight over that site 5 times over the day.

in many cases the enemy was so entrenched we had to fight them out side the main bases in the mountains going from hill to hill.

heres was some of the action around the place (not sure if this was today or the day b4)

I was on last night and it was pretty damn awesome.

i have played for a few hours.
and yea it has some nice points. but on the long run i dont see me there. when i see how few "zerg" points i got and what it takes to get just a little of new weapons, not even mentioned all the upgrades, then it either is pay to win or endless grind. if it were not for the ftp mechanics i could have some fun there. but that way i say gently: thanks, but no thanks.

Nothing more really.

ah finally killed someone lol.

Btw this game crashes more than Perp.

I died too quickly Anni to look

No its a FPSMMO BUT player bult facilities are planned & we have no idea how & what form the construction of that will take. The Devs have also said they want to give the players the ability to build weapons (at a later stage).

hey i love charging into an enemy sundie with anti tank mines throwing them under & killing it & any one near by .
Also A new vid to post.. featuring ME *darthsidious*

Just another shooter copy pasted from Half life,  with some sugar and multiplayer added. I'll stick with Perp, failed to find anything better atm.
