If you read the links I left at the bottom of my post, you will know all about planet side, there are loads of pics and some mpgs to. I definitely think persistant worlds will be the future. I think games like UT2003 will be played for 5 mins and dropped once this comes out,I mean you cant beat a 1000 man battle, with tanks, helicopters etc.

And btw its first person, but flips to third person while in vehicle when rolling around. I hate 3rd person games btw.

It'd be pretty cool if Verant (that is who's making it, right?) can pull it off. Unfortunately, almost every huge multiplayer game that I've looked forward to came out slightly off than what I was expecting. (Tribes 2, C&C Renegade, etc)

Quite frankly, IMO, there hasn't been a good MMFPS since Tribes 1.

Dynamo: I agree, but I have not played Operation Flashpoint, which many consider a superb online FPS.

However, I really like Renegade. I think, especially with the air vehicles patch, it's really something. Worth my money.

Ive played flashpoint multiplayer,its not that great, the net code is poor, it definitely doesnt live up to the single player, on scale or gameplay. The new resistance add on, give the game new net code so hopefully will change things.

But, if you are comparing Opflash to Planetside, I dont think you understand what planetside is. If they can pull it off and give us everything they claim so far, we will be paying in a persistant world, of massive proportions, with 1000's of other players in a struggle for land using all types of weaponry and vehicles.

OpFlash is a step in the direction towards what Planetside wants to be; that was kinda why I brought it up, saying that "large-scale MMFPS games have been done" so in theory super-huge scale MMFPS games like Planetside could be done as well.

I'm still skeptical, though, simply because most massively multiplayer games have fearsome lag problems, and lag + fps game == death. Literally and figuratively.

Still, I'll watch it as it develops.

That's going to be the downfall of Planetside, or any other game like it out there. The majority of the players on the internet are either selfish, clueless, or just plain dumb. I've never been able to find more than a few (read like 2 or 3) team players on a Tribes Server. I try to do it, but things often get old sitting back at a base repelling uncoordinated attacks and repairing stations, so I'm forced to go out as a loner too.

yer i agree , but planetside is planning to have much better community features such as an IM to keep track of your friends, see when they come online, where in the world they are. With clan and squad support builtin, so you can have your own clan name, logo to wear, I hope that there will be some good team action.

That doesn't look bad. We'll have to wait and see how it actually turns out.

black sheep, I can understand your opinion, and i think your right for any other ame other than planetside, I dont beleive any othe game, pushes the genre forward as much as planetside. Comparing it to T2 is like comparing doom1 to Halo.

Of course, you should really play the game first before you start making claims.

And on a side note, I'd prefer Doom to Halo anyday. I've played it a few times at a few friends' houses and absolutely hated it. Of course, the control scheme for it sucks major ass, so I think that might've had something to do with it. Microsoft can call me when that game comes out on PC and/or if it ever supports KB/mouse on an Xbox.
