Didn’t realise you were on ocuk

Used to see allot of you, my chars were TR - Sambo / NC - NCsambo, normally found in a squad with Napatha, Jolo and RossNC :)

Was good fun :p


This is looking like it could be really good!
 
well i played NC before, always like the underdog and the blue spandex.. would it be worth adding a poll to see what the numbers look like for an OcUK Outfit might be do you think?
from memory i think the OcUK peps played TR, but i'd be nice to try and get a group togeather with the most numbers.

I've been watch the thread for ome time and the game play potential does look great! so looking forward to this.
 
I will play whatever the outfit decides. But I will have an alternate TR if Smurfs or Barneys are chosen.
 
My lot will go TR again without a doubt. I don't mind so much this time around, they look pretty cool in this incarnation.

I'll still have a vanu alt though, who can resist hover tanks and lasers?
 
JeffBeefLips!

APE was my first outfit.

edit
and PariaH was proper e-famous. A guy I played with had one of your JHs in a locker as a souvenir. Never took it out. Before my time though.
 
Haven't seen it yet. I am hoping the new PC is high enough (it had better be!)

I will upgrade if it isn't!

Higby (Creative director) has stated that 5 year old PC's will be able to run it on low, if you want prettier then have a better PC.

They need to cater to mid and low range PC's because they need the numbers to make the game successful in the first place.
 
Whats the gameplay like for someone who has never played Planetside, atm I imagine it to be similar to Tribes games but in a persistent world.

Is that pretty accurate.
 
Kind of, but with a lot more vehicles and less jump jetting. The main thing to remember is that it's never an even match, you won't be going up 8v8 in a controlled map. There will always be large scale battles going on, very, very large playfields and a whole lot of scope for being sneaky and doing behind enemy lines stuff.

In a situation like that in PS1, in the space of an hour I might have spent my time :

Flying around strafing their infantry
Sneaking around in a stealth suit trying to find their cloaked respawn base
Hacking enemy tanks that stand still for too long (that never got old)
Doing a hot drop onto an enemy base from a galaxy dropship
Hacking one of their bases to deny them access to certain vehicles
Bombing them from half a mile up in a liberator
Doing ANT runs (kind of energy supply vehicles) to keep a base powered

Although that doesn't even begin to cover everything tbh. It was years ahead of its time when it was launched, and even now the whole concept is just light years ahead of your average CoD match.
