Planetside

I was just chatting to my mate, and he mentioned Planetside, the MMOFPS. I haven't played in over a year, and I'm thinking of having a go again.

Anyone here who still plays it? Can you tell me what's new (last thing I remember was the Wasp being introduced [which sucked I might add].)?
Is the reserve thing still there? Is it worth the 8 quid or whatever to play just for a month?

I really hope so. I used to love Planetside, a very unique and awesome game. Pre BFR's it was anyway!

Really? Do you have a source on that? It would be awesome. Planetside had so much potential at release but SOE messed up...

There are some new weapons:
Dragon - Flamer that is probably overpowered and spammy. But you get used to it.

Scorpion - Fantastically balanced long range bombardment gun. You aim above the target after setting distance and then the shells explode and rain helldeath onto the enemy. It takes a bit of getting used to but when it's perfected (few people have) then it has the same power as a vanguard shot! (That's a perfect hit).

New pistols - Very accurate and can instagib at pointblank range with unload clip function. Drains all stamina though and you can dodge it if you are quick. Then makes it easy to kill the cloaker.

Bangbus variants
New bangbus (sunderer) variants that are able to go through gate shields and are tougher with empire specific weapons. Quite good fun I suppose...

The big thing was some really cool additions to combat engineer. Manned turrets that you can place, tank traps, upgrades to the fixed guns in bases, and a good lot of other stuff.
