Basically, its like Tribes or BF1942, but moreso. The persistence really adds a certain zest, not unlike Jagermeister.

I give it two thumbs up! (The Olsen Twins asses) Seriously though, I'm having more fun in PS than I've had in any other online game in a long time. Wasn't I tailgunner when you bombed that Lodestar?

The ammount of shit that happens on screen at times amazes me. The best battles I've ever been in have been those bridge battles. It is truly amazing when all at once you have rockets and missiles, machine gun fire, maxes blazing, reavers whizzing overhead, and orbital strikes, and everything happening all around you.

I'm having more fun than I thought I would. This suprised me quite a bit.

I find a lot of it has to do with your outfit. My old one was ok for awhile, then got lamer as time wore on.

Being a Wookiee has really revitalized the game for me. Unless you're some sort of hardcore lonewolf, a good.. or at least active outfit makes or breaks the game IMO.

I'm almost full support. Adv engy, medic, Deliverer/Sunderer, AMS, Med assault. All I need now is sniper and Adv Hacking, and my character will be complete.

I love my character. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Pop, you need to change the system requirments.

Start it with what they say, then put in what the REAL requiments are. I played it 512 megs of ram, and beleive me, that isn't enough. Currently I have 768 megs and its just playable, but still stutters sometimes, espeically if I have been playing it for a few hours.

Corp is a humor site.

The listed requirements are the punchline.

GET IT?

The game is only truly playable with 1 gig of ram. For some stupid reason, that's the magic number. Any amount of horsepower and video cardage in the world doesn't do jack until you have one gig of ram.

I dropped PS after the free month, I felt the price was too much and the outifts I had joined all sucked big hairy doney balls. I was unwilling to pay the monthly fee in the hopes of finding a good one. I did see the potential there though, it's a damn fun game providing you've got a decent outfit and/or are lucky with finding battles but I just went through too many nights hot dropping or HART dropping into continents and spending an hour trudging around looking for a battle before being snipzored, run over or rammed by an enemy galaxy(i suck).

I guess you can add me to the "too expensive" camp as well. I know it can be a fun game but I refuse to pay that much for an FPS that I can't be sure I'm going to see much action in if I log on for an hour or two.

I have 512 DDR 2700. Sometimes it behaves, sometimes it doesn't. I do feel too useless in massive indoor battles when I drop to under 20fps. I just get jackhammered into last week. I've been meaning to pick up an extra stick of RAM anyway.

Not sure if it's worth the extra month. I'm mostly a solo hunter, but I like having the ability to chat with others and at least be in the same zip code during fights with some friends. If everyone quits after the free month, I guess I won't be long afterward either, which is kinda a shame. I still've barely touched on liberator bombing or prowling with you all.

It's far improved since beta. I'm used to BF42, CoD, and CS. Seeing a full battlefield with effective combined arms is a totally different experience. Great stuff. I give it 8/10.

I want another 512 for a total of 1.5 gig, to make up for my less usefl dial up connection.

That is why I am going to be a combat engineer..

ESC > Instant Action

Or:

Hop into a HART and use the hotspots to determine the moving front of the battle.

After that you can use the LLU to see where the battle will be going next, and simply hop into someones Prowler and haul ass over there next.

Oh, you. Of course you must be the solution to every problem.

I truly hate the game when I am playing at 3am and there are 7-10 Cr 5s online and nobody is leading and when some one who is not Cr 5 tries to lead people don't listen just because he hasn't coned people into helping him reach the highest command level.


I know. I know a lot of coning bastards. When people start coning it just isn't anymore. Coning.

Face the facts. A few guys yelling "this is primary, that's secondary" is nowhere near as important as whether or not one side outnumbers the other. Stop the stupid whineplay bitching, because frankly I doubt many people here will give a "me 2 im smat i shud comand"

That review was probably the best I ever read for the game. Everything you said about the forums are all too true (I followed the link on the PS forums to here) and the assement of the situation with game balance was suprising true coming from someone who had just started playing the game (again).

I enjoyed the review, and like the site. Think I'll be staying around here from now on.
