The catch? You can only get as high as Battle Rank 6 (out of 25). Not bad considering you get a year of free play. Once you hit that BR, you can continue to play, you just won't be able to achieve higher ranks. Not as big of a deal as you might think since higher ranks don't make you anymore powerful, just allow you to be more flexible.

For people unfamiliar to the game, it's a MMOFPS. You pick one of the three factions and fight it out on one of eight continents. Vehicular combat is heavily featured in the game - you can drive or gun for a ton of different vehicles, some that hover over water, some that fly, lots of options here. You can find a pretty good video showing off Planetside's gameplay here: http://www.gaminguploads.com/forums/local_links.php?action=jump&id=223&catid=1

And if this actually grabs anybody, you can find me playing on on Emerald as New Conglomerate, name is DarthGreg.

Planetside always have a warm place in my heart. :D
Great deal for those who don't want to pay. Good game to play around once in awhile.

Shadowbane and its expansions went the free route also (no more monthly fee) and you won't have to pay for it again until they come out with new content. I guess the outdated mmorpg are getting the free treatments now.

I might have to load ps up again.

only rank 6? thats not worth it in my opinion.

youd need at least rank 10 to do anythign vehicle wise and still fight on the ground some.


Course then. i havent playe din a few years, maybe cert requirements have changed.

The weapon/support certs havn't changed any, except Decimator was moved from SA to AV. A lot of the vehical certs were reworked though, many have prerequisites and/or multiple vehicles lumped into one cert.

BR6 gives you 11 cert points to play with, which is enough to specialize but not really to make yourself very flexible. You also get access to 1 of a possible 3 implant slots.

Thanks for the link Darth, this game is pretty sweet. I play on Emerald as a New Conglomerate as well, and go by Hica.

Wanna show a n00b around Darth? lol
