The *tournament* mode will most likely feel more like CounterStrike...but if we *must* compare it to other games, it will probably feel a lot more like "Tribes 2" in a tournament mode than CounterStrike.


The Tournament mode (it probably won't even be *called* Tournament mode since it's more like a Challenge mode) is designed to allow Outfits (or smaller groups) to do something they can't do any other way...challenge another group to a straight-up battle with no outside influences. In otherwords, it's a bragging rights sort of feature. Of course, we have lots of ideas on how to grow that aspect of the game...but this is NOT a replacement for the PlanetSide regular play, so there will be strict limitations on how often you can "challenge" other groups. In *other* other words, you'll be playing PlanetSide most of the time, and possibly doing a weekly challenge or two with your Outfits.


Challenge mode is likely to have multiple game types in it and should be pretty attractive. Further details on it will have to wait...but keep in mind that this is *not* a replacement for the regular playstyle of PlanetSide.

you infect people too easily. have you seen how long it takes for a new ranger to fit in with the team? like 2 seasons. for BORG its just RESISTANCE IS FUTILE YOU ARE NOW BORG. and then they become a Borg. god dammit.

Surely this is evidence of the pwnage of the borg
