    I'd expect a VS to say booty and orions but that's good.
  5. Vostogon

    Disco and spandex.

    Also, Magrider.

    I picked my faction way back in Planetside 1. We didn't have the Orion back then and I'm not sure VS booty was as...pronounced :)
  7. Zotamedu

    Because I was promised big guns with lots of bullets. That's the kind of guns I tend to use in all FPS I play so I figured the faction with that as the trait would suit me.

    Started off on my TR because I was TR in PS1 and I dig the red-and-black look. Now I also like a lot of the weapons--the Cougar is pretty much custom-made for me and the CARV is my favorite LMG, believe it or not--and their sound. And since they're the underdog on Emerald right now, I'm drawn toward playing them.

    A couple weeks after release I decided to make an NC alt and fell in love with the look and vibe of the faction, and at least some of the guns. Me and those hard-hitting NC guns still very much have a love-hate relationship. Love 'em on the rare occasions I can clean house, hate 'em on the much more frequent occasions when I lose a gunfight because I can't hit the broad side of a Galaxy with 'em. But I still dig NC.
  9. Vanudrax

    Black and purple, and good steady supply of NC and TR tears to keep my hydrated.

    Lured in by a friend, haven't been able to move on yet.
  11. Strottinglemon

    VS because of their ideals.
  12. Phyr

    I joined VS to play VS, I also joined TR to play TR, coincidentally it's the same reason I joined NC.
  13. Arkenbrien

    VS because of three reasons:

    1. Purple. Who makes purple as a faction color? Very unique. On the other side you have the Yankees and Russians. Who needs all that noise?
    2. Purple. Purple is the color of royalty. I deserve to be treated with respect.
    3. Purple. Purple is just so cool. Just look at my text. Much more interesting than boring ol' red, white, or blue.

    I think that's it.

    TLDR; Purple > Red, White, Blue.
  14. RIctavius

    Lore, Rank, and the need to commit a coup to install myself as T.R dictator.
  15. Titan6

    I origionally joined the NC because I liked their weapons. Slow but hard hitting weapons. However, I jumped over to the VS and TR just to try them out, and I fell in love with the Solstice and eventually, the Orion and SVA-88.

    I jump from the my VS and NC character whenever the game play starts to become stale. However, I like the VS more, just need to find a decent outfit.

    Srsly mate, 6 threads in 11 hours?

    You need to slow down. Just an opinion.
  17. Yuki10

    Vanu look like they have never been outside of San Francisco and were designed by 15 year old Anime lover.
    Vanu voice effects sound like the guy recording them had a broom stick up you know where.
    Vanu has really terrible ESF and infil cloak sounds

    TR is pretty cool and has a lot going for it.

    NC has the most realistic MBT
    NC has Jackhammer (just too much fun)
    NC maxes are bad-***
    NC color schema is easy on the eyes.

    Why should he - reminds me for a youthful Rictavius bouncing about after launch of the game :)
  19. Richard Nixon

    Played VS in PS1, so I started with them. That barely lasted a week. Too much spandex, and Papa Vanu got on my nerves.

    Then I tried NC... and fell in love. Godsaw, Vanguard, Jackhammer, Scatmax... Hell yes! We even have a shotgun on our AIRPLANES (and it was pretty good, until the nerf)! And 200DMG/500ROF weapons and me get along just fine. Reaper DMR is probably my fav gun in the game.

    Plus we get to listen to garage rock and get yelled at by some lady whenever we're losing.

    NC seemed like the most badass, and I really enjoyed their 'vibe.' I.E. the music, the guns, the design of the tanks, aircraft and player models.
