    did

    it blows

    there was free trial thing going on so I tried it out.

    AMAZING concept, horrible execution

    the lag is intolerable, the eeediiioots are inumerable etc etc

    I have played games with similar concepts (batletech Sloaris) where to goal is area controll for your team. Fun concept however it doesn't work if some of the basic things are flawed.

    Solaris:
    You have a map, each sector has a few zones. You basicaly set up constant scrims between the sides (like 3 or 4 I tihnk it was). It starts you out in a join room (basicaly a chat room) where you wait for more team mates and nmes to show up. When the room is full you drop and duke it out. Winer gets more controll over the area (at a certain percent you now own that area). XP was also a factor, however it was simply $$ for buying better mechs (where as planet side it is XP for buying better equip posibilities)

    I also played another game similar to that exept that it was sort of an astaroid clone <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> (very fun again).


    I wish Planet side had worked, but oh well....

    The game was garbage to me, no teamwork required, just mass units hurling themselves at each other with big weapons. Trying to see who can get all those points so they can buy new stuff. No Teamwork required....

    There was a lot of teamwork required in the beta. I suppose they phased that out in favor of idiots?

    PS is fun if you get a big outfit together, but really, it's still pointless. All your work is undone with phantom cappers anyway, there's no point to play.

    PlanetSide isn't THAT bad guys... i played it for 4-6 days out of the 7 day trial... and im on a Intel Celeron 500mhz, 256mb ram, 32 MB GeForce 2 here. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    everything was set to "Low" or "none" and view range was minimal, but i still had fun. I was on TR (terran republic) and tried out the heavy assualt (always liked the chain/gattling gun type weapons... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) Chain Gun, and then tried out the Cycler, then the Decimator...

    It'd have been better if i was on a better computer, though it's still good for comedic value. (Get a Reaver or some aircraft and Divine Wind their arses... hehehe. >8D ) Sure, that base you just hacked was undone the moment you left, but it happens anywhere. Advanced hacking lets you go into a vehicle or aircraft base, use THEIR terminals (rendering them in-operative to the enemies) and get some mobility setup while you high-tail it out of there before they get really p*ssed at you. Run accouple of the enemies down while you exit the base, too, for extra experiance funnn!!!!1 (yes, you can run over enemies killing them instantly (infantry only) but you can also run over team mates (also infantry only) causing them to die. so, uh... be careful. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    If you get into a squad and play teamwork like its really enjoyable, and if you are organized with an outfit its even MORE enjoyable... but, if you're the lone gunman it's kinda boring. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> Sometimes anyoying when that same Vanu uses his lasher and kicks your butt; or when your squad's sniper kills you when you're in a infiltration suit... but it happens, and you shouldn't let it get in the way of fun.

    The lag issues reside more on the servers than anything I think, My machine is more than perfectly capable of running it, its just a matter of them getting faster servers. However a vast majority I know do have low end computers that would make an addition to the lag. Still kinda lagged on mine anyway, and it wasnt the computer or the connection...

    umm, LAG has nothing to do with your rig, it refers to network latency (ie ping)

    I played this on a GOOD cable modem and it simply was unplayable due to my ping shooting through the roof.

    Again, DLed went through basic training (wich rather spoils tyhe game b/c you can get EVERY weapon/vehicle before you even actualy start the game) and tried a fewthings in combat, and well lag blows <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
