The best part of Planetside was 3 way bridge battles on cyssor. The ones south of... Gunuku, I think it was? With Itan and the third base there, you'd often get the NC usually holding the capitol there, VS holding Itan and TR holding that third base, and everyone just meets in the middle, it was the perfect frantic action. Who did you go for first? TR and VS usually ended up shooting at each other while NC sat on the end of the bridge and spammed everyone with vanguard shots, until the VS pulled magriders and headed over the water and took out our defensive position. start to push over onto our island, when the TR decide they want to join in, start running over the bridge and they both blast the heck out of each other in our CY until we push back, rince and repeat.
I think part of what made it awesome was the 3-way nature. So many battles a just one army vs another, when you throw a third one in it adds a whole new level of strategy.
Unfortunately, I can see PS2 being a total flop because they will try to do something new with it, and that's not what people want. We want Planetside 1, with updated graphics, physics and better netcode, and no BRFs. Make that, and it would be the perfect game!
