As far as I know there is no "win" condition.

In theory your empire could capture all of the territory in the game, in practice that is highly unlikely to ever happen.

However, it did happen in the original Planetside a few times.


There were times in the original game where I fought over a base for 3 or 4 hours, logged out and came back 2 to 3 hours later only to find the same base fight still raging.


Planetside is not really a game for the lone wolf type players.

Yes, you can pad your kill count solo, but the large organized outfits are what really spearhead the capture of bases and the movement of the map.

You may be able to capture a small outpost on your own, but a solo player will not be able to capture a base.

If your goal is to pad your own stats you can do that just fine solo. If you want to help your empire push the battle lines, then Planetside requires a totally different kind of mindset than any other FPS out there.

It's just that I already have an MMO I'm playing, and with everything else coming out, there will be no time for this more than likely.


That is the beauty of this game. You can log in for 30 minutes and play, or log in for hours and play.

I didn't read. I was at work on my phone and didn't have the time. I just remember that PS1 was pay to play. It was a lot of fun, but no game is worth a monthly fee. I'm glad this will be free to play.

Millions of people disagree with you, but to each their own.

The fact that this game is free to play will get many more people to try it than otherwise.

You obviously have no fricking clue what you are talking about.

The average MMO player is around age 30.

quote:

1.The average age of WoW players is: 30

Surveys of MMO players have consistently put the average age of MMO players right around 30. This includes our survey, as well as a survey of EQ2 players and an earlier survey of WoW players.

New info.

10 players per squad

10 squads can make a 100 man platoon.

Android and iOS app that lets you remote pilot a drone and perform drone strikes from your phone or tablet.

F2P after purchase, or F2P altogether?
Either way, I started watching videos and I'm excited as hell for this now.
