No credit card required. But, your're limited to a command rank of 2 and a battle rank of... something, 6 or 8 I think.

2GB ZIP file.

in what way does the rank limit you?

Awesome, used to play this back in the day. Can't hardly remember a damn thing about it, though . I might download it just for the hell of it to see what's changed. Seeing as to how I only played it for the first 3 months it was out, it probably looks like a different world now. I hear they've changed up the map a bit to make everything more centralized (i.e. nobody was playing, and the continent was too vast), but not sure if this is true or not.

I remember the big problem when I was playing was the fact that hits were calculated on the client side, which caused you to die at random intervals because you lagged on someone's comp. I understand why it's like this, just wondering if anything's been "tweaked" to help.

I won't even go back to it for free unless they get rid of BFRs.

Planetside was the bomb. One of the best games ever created and then someone in marketing made a gameplay design decision and ruined the balance.

Sony is like a contagious disease, it was only a matter of time.

How long does it take to get to rank 6 or 8?

 

[Smilin]

Couple weeks of casual play.


Someone could probably power level there in a weekend.

I've heard about this but I have yet to find a link for this "Fodder Program" am I blind and missing this on Sony's site or FP?

I also haven't played in a REALLY long time, I might give it a try if I have time. Thanks for the link.

Don't really bother imo.

The fact that they make you fight the normal people just makes you fodder.

Mechs own you bad, you can hardly have enough skill points to get one type of combat mode and spend most of your time relearning different skills.

Not to mention 90% of the weapons don't even fire straight even when zoomed in and crouching. That and they still have lag issues that you cannot have in a fps type of game. Don't think you should really call it a fps but instead a spamfest since so many people jsut sit back and spam nades/motars.

Might be fun for a few days but I am level 5 1/2 after two days of light playing and can see this getting old really fast.

Good luck on getting past the learning curve to, the training missions were a waste of time for the most part even though you do get a bit of exp from them.
