ROFL, got me laughing to tears especially the boat anchor part

Rather hefty download at 258 MB though. ooh I didn't see that, last time I checked it was still under copyright protection, and I don't care about the download since I have a very fast line ... currently downloading at 355k/s, est 11mins left

and Nova said a while ago i was already back to commander? Well thanks

I had computer in mind ... it first came with "cathode ray-tube" but found it after impressive nonetheless

damn, and me that can STILL NOT find the goddamn game only played the demo.

well since my outfit on konried is the 2nd biggest of the Terran Republic (and 2nd biggest asskicker, but considering the #1 is a invite-spammer outfit, we are #1 for the more selective groups ) And since I'm a screenshot whore, here's more for your eyes... Rainy day in sanctuary Running to waypoint TR holding a hack on Nzame, Cyssor the prowler, icon of the Terran Republic's armored forces It looks high .. Alright, who did that? Erm .. the game isn'r perfect yet Lovely carnage Feels like the movie speed doesn't mean I can't do it myself We [(SOL) Navy] mostly play on evening, between 5pm and 2am. we usually have 3 squads going, about 25 people online at once. we have teamspeak server, although not all of us talk on it. Planetside is very boring alone, and joining random disorganised squads isn't really much better too. There's nothing like 20+ people in tanks, buggies and large transports all arriving at once at the objective, and sweeping an entire base within few minutes. Of course if there's 50 of them.. there's bound to be a long fight I play under the names of Epsilon5 and Epsilon4, to message someone you type /t and press backspace to reply to the last tell you got.

jusr curious, that gunship in the pics (forgot the name), how many people can it carry? I know it can carry a vehicle, but I don't think you said how many people.

the A-10 is like a distant cousin of the IL2 .. takes alot of beating to take it down. I always like the A-10, it's not the fastest, not the most manoeuvrable, and it has limited air-air capability, but sure does earn respect.

That 3rd pic (639) is going to make homeworld fans happy .. makes me thing about the color sheme used by one of the factions (forgot the name, I'm sure parias will come here in a snap to correct me)

ROFL

I don't get the phone joke ... all that text leave a feeling in me

you have to pay to test? sheesh. Me and the 30000+ people in the Planetside didn't pay a penny for it And having to pay to test has a severe downside, everytime something goes wrong, the 12yo kiddies will bring the "but I paid for this game" argument, as if it was the company that owned them something special.

I have never played the game, but the review reflects what I've been told about it. I've been told that you will spend most of your gametime mining and travelling. whee .. Also when you die, you lose ALOT. Even if you have insurance or something you only get near 10% of what your lost.

I wouldn't expect less but the BEST in CG rendition from pixar

I thought you were TR Fox? or did you recently deserted to the idealists and anarchist NCs? Shame on you! Loyalty until DEATH!

this question has been asked several times. use the search function.

Je suis Qu├®b├®cois, je parles fran├ºais, qu'est-ce que t'as besion d'aide pour exactement? Comment acheter ou comment jouer? Malheuresement, le jeu n'a pas de version fran├ºaise, ├ºa pourrais ├¬tre un peu compliqu├®...

sounds very nice ... but can you explain the use of a StormCarrier as an UCV cessel...?

Where did you read that? Do you have ANY idea how much memory is required for just the game itself, models etc etc, let alone the terrain data for an entire continent? If this was the case, the game would never work on even the recommended system specs. well then, if you are right, the game is excellent at hiding the fact that it's loading edit - because I'm a screenshot whore I'm going to post a few I took recently Defending a base Warp gates Tech plant vehicle bay AMS with a magrider tank wreck weather effect (note that the yellow beams are waypoints I set for my squad) Odd parking uh-oh (I died shortly after) Lush forests of Amerish Fighting for control Vanus utlimately drove us out (about about an hour of fighting), but we did a come back a few hours later. - Epsilon 5, Strategic Officer, (SOL) navy Battle Rank 8, Command Rank 3 Terran Republic, Konried [ 05-28-2003, 01:58 PM: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

RTFA!* *read the fine appendix

ok, a bit more details on the game first and foremost, the game pc requirements are pretty steep. I suggest minimum 1 gig cpu and a gf2 gts/ultra and 384megs of ram. Recommended is a 1.5gig intel cpu or equivalent, a gf3 or radeon 8500 and 768 megs of ram. I run on a xp2000+, radeon 9700 and 1 gig of ram. under 1 gig of ram the game keeps caching on the hard drive. KEEP IN MIND that the game holds the entire continent you are on in memory, and continents are very detailed, hills, vegetation and at least a dozen bases. The graphics of the game are very good. high poly counts, detailed base that have complex underground levels, NO loading aside from when you switch continent, beautiful sky, night and day cycle (although the night is never pitch dark), dynamic lightning (rotating alarm lights, lightning inside changes when there's a hack going on or power is lost) weather (lightning storms are fun), etc. The game has a great physics engine although it feels that gravity is low in the game (long jumps and large tanks that jump over small hills) and grenades bounce off walls properly. when the server is crowded, battles can rage with at least 100 people on each side. no matter how good is the engine, your computer will slow down if you don't have good hardware. Like I posted elsewhere, this is small compared to what we can often get. And I tell you, sony did one hell of a job with this game. They went as far as asking us to send debug logs to them so they can analyse crashes, and for the last 2 weeks I didn't crashed, didn't freeze. --- Planetside is a MMOFPS, purely. there is zero RPG, aside from levelling. gun damage and accuracy is hardwired, there's no mobs, if it moves, it's a player, or a bullet coming your way. You can be on foot, in vehicles (tanks, APCs, jeeps, ATVs, etc) or flying in a gunship or in the huge Galaxy transport dropship (can carry 12 people and a light vehicle). 3 factions to play, unique and balanced. The goal of the game is to control every facility in the game in a never-ending war. form up squad to assault enemy-held bases and fight your way to the command console to hack it and gain control. After you hack a base, you have to hold it 15 minutes, a time in which the enemy can come back and try to regain control. there are many towers on the maps, small spawn points with only equipment terminals and 2 gun towers on the roof. The arsenal at your disposition varies from pistols, grenades, assault rifles, shotguns, chainguns, rocket launchers (dumbfire, laser guided, camera-flying) grenades launchers, and even the fancy energy weapons of the vanus. And of course you have the Mechanised Assault eXosuit (MAX for short) which is basically a full body armor with big guns attached, sacrificing mobility for sheer firepower, and the infiltration suit, allowing you to cloak and go (mostly) unseen inside enemy bases, stabbing and gunning down the offguard soldier. not counting the sanctuary, a safe zone for your empire to meet people and form up squads, there are 10 continents to wage war on, each one being (wild guess) between 5 and 12 kilometers across. you travel between the continents using warpgates Current battlefield sitation (select a server) There are no concept of headshots in planetside. the game is NOT twitch based, but skill does count for alot. Snipers, despite being unable to one-shot-one-kill you are still a pain-in-the-ass, and infiltrators are either a blessing or a curse to people, good think there's the darklight implant which reduce your viewing range but makes the cloakies glow. Graphics are great, sounds are too. The game is pretty easy to learn. Levelling is done by killing people and capturing/resecuring facilities, and levelling a battle rank give you a certification point, which allow you to buy certifications that allow you to use specific types of equipment. there's no tradeskills (i.e. crafting) and no economy. the closest think there is to an economy is that you need to "refuel" bases periodically as activity drains the NTUs (nanite technology units) using the ANT (advanced nanites transport, which is incidentally the slowest and weakest vehicle in the game), charging up at a warpgate and unloading at a silo. A base without NTUs is unpowered and goes neutral. the game went retail 2 days ago. already the servers are starting to load up. there are 2 western, 2 eastern and 1 european server up, and they have many more waiting in the shadows. Planetside is GREAT fun. Especially when you have a large group, and coordinated people. So join in, have fun, fight furiously, and defeat your enemy! (i don't think I forgot anything, hehe) ok, back to the game

[bleep]ing uber. I play with (SOL) navy on konried as Terran republic. we were 20 online last night. on teamspeak. we *kicked* ass. I love that game. levelling is slow though.

it's not an automatic generator though, entered my spam mail in the first url and did not get a result.
