First time playing Planetside


I got it for $10 on D2D and just finished the subscription (came with 30 days free). I doubt Ill resubscribe due to PS2 being so close but I got it to play with the outfit I am in who are still doing ops.

What are some things I should know?

So, you already played 30 days, but said you wont resubscribe, yet you ask for more tips? Either I misread/understood or then just confused for why exactly you need to know anything if you arnt playing anymore?

That said, you should probably specify the question, Planetside is STILL probably one of the more complicated games, or perhaps not complicated, but it has so much one would have to explain you unless you specify

I have a question for you:

What are your impressions of the (almost) 9 year old game after 30 days?

I'm just curious to see what you think of it now since you didn't play it in its prime.

Crazy, I started back in 2010 myself, except for graphics, the game is still unique and unmatched. Just sad the populations are too low to really have the game in full glory anymore, that said I'm still subbed and still enjoy the game regularly.

Oh shit, I meant that I haven't played yet. When I said that I finished the sub I meant that I am able to begin playing today.

Lucky you, I remember the first day where everything was brand new and shiny and I spent 2 minutes covering from a menacing deathmobile that turned out to be an unmanned Lightning

Anyway, if you give us your name I'm sure someone will be there from your empire to show you around

Re: First time playing Planetside


Well TacKLed, you should know that you level throughout the game known as BR (Battlerank) and CR (Command Rank). Max is 20BR and 5 CR.

You earn bep for BR by capturing bases & killing enemies. You earn CR for simply leading a squad or platoon while capturing bases.

As you earn BR, you get rewarded with certifications which you spend on any vehicles, weapons, etc

Thats pretty much the basics. The game used to have so many people playing back from 2003-2007.

Re: First time playing Planetside


Ok, it downloaded and I played for the first time. Someone asked what I thought of it seeing as how I am 9 years late to the party. To be truthful. it is a good game but the magic that you guys had when you first played it isn't there for me in a sense. When you played it. the mechanics were fresh, the graphics good, and the concept explosive. What you guys experienced in the first game will probably what I experience in PS2.

With that aside, it's fun. I sneaked into a base as the TR and killed someone. The battle was small but interesting nonetheless. There is an Op tommorow with the outfit I am in and I am sure it will be fun since that is the way it is meant to be played.

You're quite right there mate. It is much more fun when you are in a good outfit that communicates through voicechat while playing the game rather than just play solo which will get you bored much quicker
