Really looking forward to this MMO, hopefully going to be everything that Planetside isnt and produce a good MMOFPS.

I just don't see it being the successor the Planetside like everyone thinks it will be. By the looks of them videos it looks like a huge UnrealTournament game. It looks like you'll be respawning every 10 seconds, where in Planetside you have the chance to survive much longer. Will Huxley have CE like PS (mines, deployable spitifre turrets etc) if it does, i wouldn't like been the one laying it down.

Planetside has a fatal flaw of not succeeding in being a "twitch" fps. The response feels "muddy" when moving and the guns down feel right.

An MMOFPS that has the feel and responsiveness of say UT/Quake/Counterstrike is what is needed so some actual skill can be brought to the table.

Maybe Valve should work on a MMOSource engine

i'm not entirely sure planetside is supposed to be a "twitch" style fps, when i tried to get my mate who's a css freak to play it he couldn't get the fact that there were no headshots and therefore no instant kills (apart from boomers and that ofc). planetside is a more tactical fps set in a persistent world, and certainly requires some skill to play, just not a twitch!

huxley was always announced as the planetside killer by the doomsayers on the ps forums, though the more i read about it the less i am convinced.

This looks very nice, deffinatly interested in something like this. Liked the idea of planetside but found the game a bit dull.

Agreed; it just looks like a souped up, large scale, UT-esque frag fest to me. Not something that's going to succeed Planetside

why would it want to succeed PS?

A large scale war twitch-style FPS is what ive been waiting for since ive been able to fire a gun in a 40 man CS server

Skill and reflexes where what you do and how you move, aim and think actually counts in a game instead of it being about a dice roll or stats in the background.
