Poll: Did you sign up for Planetside War?

[Dramatic Flare]

I would have, but I have a Mac.

 

[LeeHarveyO]

Until yesterday I had never heard of the game, but yes I signed up and will fight to the bitter end.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

I've never heard of it before, so i've just started looking into it. It looks quite fun actually.
I just had my computer updated a couple of months ago so handling the software will be easy, so i might try signing up.

 

[apeoflight]

I played Planetside before but stopped. If I can get back into it for this I think it would be awesome to play for the Escapist.

 

[Brikhous]

Planetside has a 14 day free trial, so even if you don't get in with the Escapist, you can still play. Your stats won't count in the "war", but you can contribute and hopefully have fun.
Info here, plus another cool video:

Planetside today doesn't have some of the huge attacks shown in that clip, but it is nice to dream

 

[Incompl te]

wah i wish i could but nooooo my comp stuffs up with all gaes >.<

 

[Erana]

What is planetside?

 

[InsanityBaronOfAtrocity]

Yup. Because I do like the idea of the game.

Although it's really hard to play it now - very little people to kill...

I was just on Gemini today and can say thats definitely not the case. Hundreds of dudes getting blown to crap, tanks all over the place and flak filling the air like murderous clouds...

 

[Prower]

look for all those people freting about planetside it has all the mmo traits but in a truly fps manner if you watch a youtube video people go down about as fast as they do in wow.

the "level" system is best compared to COD 4, lvl 5's can take down lvl 50's based on skill allone, you'll just find in planetside it will take a little longer to die much like halo "1"

I remember awhile ago a lot of people said you couldn't play ps with vista? Is this still the case? I'm trying to install it again and it gets to _aunchPad.exe in the receiving files screen and it just freeze and eventually just closes itself.

 

[Xojins]

I signed up for it. I've never actually played PlanetSide, but it's all in good fun, right?

Yeah, Vista seems to be giving EVERYONE a problem because of the DirectX feature. I'm talking with SOE and our techs to see if there is a way around it

Also, I full uninstalled and installed again and its working? If we get selected do we just make a new account and use whatever you give us as a key?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Yes. Hopefully I get selected.

You might want to ask if they sorted multi cores to. It use to be you had to turn off second/four core processing, as it made you run around too fast in the game.

 

[SirSchmoopy]

Yes but we should have done a dxdiag test for this game.

 

[ChristmasChild]

I...have Vista. What happens if i win? Do I get banned If I can't install it?

 

[Murdrakk]

I signed up! Played for years as NC, Should be a good time. If I'm not selected I'll still play to help out. GO ESCAPISTS!!

 

[LewsTherin]

Nope, haven't the time.

 

[Chickenlittle]

No. I don't have a PS3, and have no desire to join another MMORPG.
