Know what you mean... The alien stuff in Halo rocks. I love to grab a ghost or banshee and just stylin' around...

VS have the potential to deliver the same. They just need to work it out

Whenever there is a poll on this it always works out 33% 33% 34% or near as.

NC aren't Communists, they are corporate capatalists

It's not really even the NC soldiers that are the corporate capitalists, perhaps some of them are hired by/fight for them, but it's hard to claim that ragtag guys in mining gear would directly be corporate capitalists themselves.

As for the commies-comment, personally being from Finland I have much easier time agreeing with NC than TR. TR to me feels like the old Soviet Union, while NC (in many ways) represent the little guerilla freedom fighters of Finland with shitty equipment, but still managed to hold the bad commies away

Why is NC so popular:

CHUKA-BOOM CHUKA-BOOM CHUKA-BOOM CHUKA-BOOM

That's the sound of NC arriving at your base..

For me personally, I am 95% certain that I will be playing NC at launch.

In PS1 I was TR, but I just love the look of NC in PS2. I love the colors, the armors on infantry, the MAX is amazing, the vehicles as well. The concept of hard-hitting appeals to me much more now than it used to during the PS1 days.

I don't understand why the NC are seen as "the good guys".

Everything I've read about them makes them look like greedy megacorporations who hire dirty mercenary scumbags to do their bidding. And for what? Greed and late-night partying. The TR on the other hand, are clearly the good guys. They fight for peace and prosperity. They can't help it that the brutal and merciless rebel factions refuse to give up their arms and work for a better future with solidarity and prosperity in focus. TR has the right to defend it's peace-loving citizens on Auraxis. The VS? They're obviously being mind controlled by Cthulhu's grandmother. It's not truly their fault.. They believe that they are doing the right thing. Hopefully the TR will be able to make them "see the light", sooner rather than later.

With this in mind, we can clearly see that the TR is the only viable choice for anyone with a conscience. However, it would seem as if the NC anti-peace propaganda is highly effective, and the VS obviously do not have any choice but to do their masters bidding.

I picked NC because back in 03 when PS1 first came out NC'S style of play appealed to me the most. I also love the colors for the faction along with the lore behind them. So they will be my faction of choice for PS2 because of my loyalty I have had to the NC and my outfit over all these years and due to the fact I absolutely despise TR and VS.

lol NC are popular now? that's not how I tell it
