who to fight for?

[Toppopia]

Hopefully there is a tutorial which will allow us to spawn any weapon and any vehicle and let us play around with it, then that would help decide who to play as. But i think i will choose TR because they are the only solution to the chaos that is Planetside, and rapid fire sounds like me, i like suppressing enemies, even if they don't understand what being suppressed means they are meant to hide until i stop shooting or they die.

I found myself on TR because I originally joined up with 2 friends. We saw that TR was the only side that would let us all ride in the same MBT together. The rest is history...

Unless you are a terrorist och a backstabbing goodfornothing the choice is clear to join the ranks of the terran republic

Each empire has their ups and downs when it comes to ideology.

Depends on if you favor genocide or not.
I know NC doesn't prefer it.

Someone has to be the black sheep of the propaganda machine of a government you call the Terran Republic.

Most people will be specializing in something like driving tanks, flying fighters, sniping, close combat, infiltration, etc. Decide what interests you the most and then go with the empire that has your favorite version of that weapon/vehicle.

And of course beta is the perfect time to check out all three!

Fixed.

[Canaris]

everything about the TR appealed to me from the colour scheme to the back story and the list of impressive weapons they were totting, I love guns with lots of bullets

TR's in my blood

[NCLynx]

It was the faction all my friends played on at the time. Since I had no clue about the differences in guns my choice was almost 100% based on friends and the fact that the NC colors had blue.

[Pozidriv]

Choose the faction that is aesthetically most pleasing for you and fits your general playstyle the most.

TR = Volume. Lots of speed, bullets and hardware.
NC = Tuff. High damage and durability but slow less mobile.
VS = Mobile. Possibly the most flexible and mobile faction.

I played NC in the first. none of the other factions appealed to me so never tried them. figure i will give them all a try this time around atleast. I like the visual style of the TR and the flashiness of VS weapons, but honestly who doesn't like to have some real power in their punch? so at the end of the day its go blue or go home. Oh and they fight for freedom. Who doesn't like freedom? Anyone who doesn't is a commi! Dont Be a Commi

[PredatorFour]

I joined VS cos my friend and brother both randomly joined them and like people before have said, once you join a faction your loyal to them forever (apart from the hoppers
Basically tho NC= easy mode
TR= Less Easy
VS= hardest mode

Well thats how it was in ps1 anyhow,altho we had the best tank! Mag 4 life

TR has what is generally accepted as the best teamwork. (Our vehicles alone mandated that.)

[Baneblade]

Ironically, I chose NC because it wasn't the noob empire nor was it the fruity disco empire... TR are no longer called the noob empire, but VS are still rockin the fruity pebbles.
