What Faction and why - Page 2

I'll stick with NC. My loyalty's too strong.

I hope they still let you make characters of another empire though.

Next, he talked about servers and populations. Planetside 2 will have multiple servers, in order to support the size of the playerbase on the world map. He also said they don't want players to be able to create characters from different factions and be able to listen in on the enemy. Players will be able to play multiple factions, but they'll have to do it on separate servers.

I have been loyal to the New Conglomerate however not entirely happy with the apparent 'loosely organised' rabble that they now apparently are. Considering the terran republic.

Just consider NC to be Planetside's Black Knights, as opposed to say...The Taliban.

I can't say I have, i'm somewhat limited in the anime I have seen. I assume there is this type of faction within it?

Led by an unusual quorum of outcasts, industry titans, pirates and former military leaders, the New Conglomerate is unwavering and prepared to achieve their goals by any means necessary.

That's the description of PS2's NC. Pirates aside, the Black Knights are made up of similar types of people.

NC. Not only because of severe faction loyalty from the original, but also now we get to talk like pirates.

Also, I DEMAND RAILGUNS.

Bags · 2011-07-08, 11:32 PM

Considering I don't know what weapons they have...

Undecided. Most likely TR or NC though.

I choose an underpopulated and underpowered slightly homosexual empire 8 years ago, in 8 years Future Crew has made the VS more popular and extremely homosexual while taking the good buffs with the bad, we will stick with VS no matter how terrible ours or amazing the other factions weapons are.

So essentially FC was VS before it was cool to be VS?

Yes, when the pops were 11-15% each night.

Well aren't you a gay Planetside hipster.
