AWKWARD ZOMBIE

You guys CLEARLY never even heard of the original PlanetSide. Everything about PlanetSide trumps anything that has ever been done in any FPS game to date.

There is no way that massive global warfare that involves bodaciously thousands of players in a constant battle to take control of the entire planet will NOT be a huge success.

Picture a typical CoD match.... a bunch of dudes running around, killing eachother for no real reason.... how dull

Now picture PlanetSide 2.... thousands of soldiers fighting for 3 different empires, fighting on entire continents for hours, with REAL objectives in their sights, and the feel of utter victory when you pry that last base on the continent from your enemy's dead fingers, moving onto the next in your goal for global domination.

Pinky and The Brain... well just The Brain, really... would be seriously thrilled to play such a game.

I've never heard of either....but I'm not into FPS's either.

I just like shooting things. CoD fills that quota just fine.

So it's pretty much Risk. Or any MMORPG.

Except, you know...

Except no, because it controls like an FPS, not an turn based strategy game or RPG, and there is no luck involved. It's pure teamwork and skill.

CoD is bad though, and the map changes interupt gameplay and make the previous match irrelevant.

CoD also doesn't have tanks, aircraft, unique weaponry (lol copy/paste from real life FTL), and is full of immature little kids that are bad at the game.

This is true of every multiplayer game ever.

what you're describing is halo but an MMORPG

Global Agenda?

Global Agenda follows standard match rules like CoD, Halo, Battlefield, ETC. AvA is bigger than regular matches, yes... but it STILL doesn't compare to PlanetSide's massiveness.

You simply don't understand the scale of PlanetSide. PlanetSide isn't divided into 16vs16 matches, EVERYBODY is on the SAME planet fighting for PERSISTENT objectives. Take World of Warcraft's battlegrounds as an example.... each one is completely the same, nothing changes based on what happens in previous matches. The world outside doesn't even change. Now, what happens in PlanetSide when you take a base? It belongs to your empire until an enemy takes it from you. There is no reset, there is no "match over, let's play another".

How is PlanetSide not special when there has been only ONE game that also has completely persistent global warfare? That game is called WWII Online.

So the game never ends? Boring.

Would it be like dividing by zero?

Didn't Tribes do this?

Also I guess this sounds cool from a novelty perspective but I think it's stupid to presume it'll be funner than Halo or CoD or whatever you prefer.

If someone captures everything.... you fight to take it back...

And how is a game that never ends.... "boring"? People have been playing on the same tiny Counter Strike maps for more than a decade, but they seem to still be having fun. If I had to play on de_dust again, I would shoot myself in the hands so I WOULDN'T have to.

Or are you just trolling me cause I'm the new guy?
