Planetside 1 > Planetside 2

Yes, I know the graphics and gameplay are light years ahead on PS2, but PS1 was more fun to play! There was purpose to battles, and a meta game for the commanders to move people to a particular place and there were reasons to be at that place.

The way it is now, PS2 is just a Deathmatch game, but after an hour, I get really bored. I need a reason to fight.


p.s. bring back Ants...Draining bases was fun!! thanks!

GMTA?

Was Planetside 1 really better?

Why didn't SOE just update the game graphics instead of making entirely new game?

In a lot of ways, yes. Looting enemy weapons, creating your own class, wonderfully balanced imbalance in the cert tree system, 10 continents, blah blah blah. List goes on forever.

But I like PS2.

Because, initially, they had idea what they are doing and took a "BF3" stab in the dark not realizing that BF3 mechanics downright suck for a "non-resetting" persistent MMO. Fortunately they are figuring this out slowly, and moving more toward PS1 gameplay ideas (which were created from years of running PS1).

But PS1 was hardly known.
Even PS2 is really not known.
Overshadowed by other games easily.

PS1 is not a holy grail.

so brave

Planetside 1:
Buggy
Bad shooting mechanics
MMO ESQUE TTK's 15-30 seconds
Bad net code (ADA Strafe)
BFR's
looked like **** even for its time
horribly imbalanced weapons (Jackhammer, Splat Max)

This list can go on and on forever about all its problems but I'll stop here so the people wearing the rose coloured nostalgia glasses don't get to upset. That being said ANTs would be real nice.

Been asking that question since the tech test.

IMO Planetside 1 is 1000x better still.

I never played PS1

Well you can now.
All of us got 6 free months.

PS1 had great original concepts. PS2 feels like a dumbed down version of a futuristic BF3. I am not complaining but the game took a large hit. I think most PS1 vets will agree.

SC users only

I didn't buy any SC and I got the free 6 months. ._.
