This looks so awesome!
Show me a screenshot with 50+ people on it, and fps counter in the corner & the system specs required to run it at that framerate.
The art design & lighting are excellent, but I suspect we'll all need to dust our wallets off if we're after high fps in red alerts looking at these screens
I agree i think its gonna be pretty damn demanding on are systems, i think my pc will be alright but my graphics card will hold it back..hopefully when i buy the 7990 i should be alright
Awesome looking game, we must make sure to start a ocuk clan and have mumble and go around waging wars.

In its first incarnation, yes. The sequel is apparently going free-to-play with a premium shop.

Which really scares me. I'd prefer a monthly sub with everyone on the same playing field in terms of equipment.
Planetside was never nearly as gear based as your usual mmo though. If you could get someone in your sights, you could kill them, regardless of their level.
It was a decent system, in that the higher levels could do more things at once, rather than do them better. If they did do them better, it was from practice, not levels.

Absolutely. But there is already a class / XP / level system in place. So that takes care of loadouts. I just really hope they don't allow something stupid like plasma grenades or a different secondary fire only from the store. Or quicker reloading etc.
I don't give a crap if someone has a different gun colour to me that they have paid for, I just want the battlefield to be even.
Mind you, I'd happily throw down a tenner a month sub for it if it's any good, so if I have to spend the equivalent in a store each month to enjoy it properly, I'm not that bothered.

Its tricky, but think about it this way. The Reservs promotion for Planetside. It let you play for free, but limited your BR and CR to certain levels. Or you could pay to unlock the higher levels.
I would have zero complaint about having some sort of pay monthly 'premium' feature which gives you a selection of bonuses. People can play for free, but I was happy paying £7.50/month for Planetside, so I wouldn't mind putting down that much a month for bonuses in PS2 either. Its exactly how sleepery says

I'd buy that, and one that said 'Fix the lasher already...'

XP boots would be fine to buy. In MoX we often had well over half of our platoon on low BR (spec ops didn't really give much XP). It's rely no bother if you are as organised. Stick em in a MAX, or give them a glue gun, always options, and they would be as important as anyone. This is why I love PS.
NC here I'm sure we all played on Werner, wasn't it the only european server?
The most fun I had was as a galaxy pilot shipping everyone into the fights, invading towers with the Splattercannon MAX.. and the organized hordes of Vanguard tanks to bust our way into an enemy continent, hell everything about it was great! I miss it so much.
