Well I took a trip to my local Game to see if I could get a copy of Planetside. I find the box and take it to the counter to be told by a spotty 16 year old that Planetside isn't covered by the 10-day money back guarantee (when i bought NC i was told it was returnable).

So anyway I dont want to spend £34.99 on something I have never tried. Does anyone know if is there a online/offline demo availible at all?

There isn't afaik, but I don't advise buying it... if you want a good FPS use Unreal Tournament or something else that doesn't have a monthly fee. That will be 30 bucks for the advice ;)

The only fun bit is being a spy(infiltrator suit) with a blade with melee booster.

Its fun being an anti-social bastard, but its not worth the monthly fee imho.

Get battlefeild 1942 and the desert combat mod :D

Had bf1942 almost since release, very good game. I just wanted something like bf but I think a single enviorment rather than maps would be fun.

You'll die alot, figure once every 5 minutes. Every time you die you have to respawn at another point. If you die within 10 minutes of spawning, you get 5 seconds tacked on to your respawn time.

So after awhile you'll have like a 2 minute waiting period between spawns. (they might've changed this - they were talking about it before I left *shrugs)

Don't get me wrong, Planetside can be fun, and if you're willing to spend money on it; go for it.

I just don't like the idea of paying monthly for a shooter

:D


got a link? i cant seem to find anything.

go to fileplanet.com and check out the demos section.

Guess im looking for something new...nc is good and can be real fun but a lot of stuff (like some players) are really sucking the fun out of the game it really seems I cant do anything without someone else bitching at me...

Legoias, if people bitch at you, just mute them for a bit.

Seems certain people like bearding the lion in others.

I think hinch is the kind of person who could do that to be honest.. and I don't think he'd lie, either.

I wont say its impossible to do, but it is very improbable that he did it.

People have slagged this game off loads to be honest and on whole id have to agree with them .. Its a nice idea and really looked forward to it but not much fun tbh

Def not worth 35 quid .. Buy Robin Hobb Assassins Appencice book much better and only 4.99 :)

planetside is ok. its fun for about 2 months then it just gets old (played beta). its not really worth what they want for it. needs ALOT more stuff to it.
