We recently started playing Battlefield 2142, and the change from the ‘quest/raiding’ of WoW to ’shoot-em and scream at the screen’ awakened a longing for another online shooter we used to play a few years ago – Planetside.
When we first started out we played for hours every evening and weekend – having no children back then did wonders for our gaming time – and we had our own outfit. Friends also used to play and we would shout and scream into voice comms into the wee hours. Back then I had a stealthy character who used to sneak into bases and hack consoles. I was pretty poor at it, but I had fun trying! Next I changed to a combat engineering class – my fave – where I would lay turrets and mines to kill unsuspecting troops. Oh how I love my AMS too.
The game has come a long way since that and not only is there a whole new area with new vehicles through the Core Combat expansion, but can you now command giant mechs or BFR’s and they changed the layout of the world.
What did it for us though was the prospect of a whole new expanded engineering skill system, which now boasts Fortification, Assault and Advanced Engineering (a combination of the two), with new flying and stealthed turrets to boot.
Get the game downloaded, join Vanu Sovereignty, and message N1GHTSH4D3 in game (yeh, stoopid name I know) – you’ll have great fun, I promise.
