Poll: Planetside: Good or Bad?

[Doug]

So, I'm interested in Planetside, BUT before I part with my sweet, sweet, cash, is Planetside a fun shooter? And am I correct in my understanding that its a large battlefield (Planet sized?) with thousands of players in the battles? Else, why is it an MMOFPS?

I bought the game cheaply (as download isn't an option for me) in case I got into the Escapist war. I wasn't chosen in the end but I still played the free trial and had hella fun.

Anyway, it is supposed to be the things you mentioned but the community has had a major decline. There are only 2 servers left. One the European one you're lucky if you see a single person, really.

Meh. Fun concept, but:

a) an idiot with better equip soloing me because... well, his gun hits harder and not because he's better, and:

b) chaotic fights where you are wondering if you have hit the enemy or not

Isn't my cup of tea. Also, walking sucks big time.

Ouchie! I thought (i.e. read on wikipedia) that an estimated 20,000 people where still subscribed to it!

Well the North American server (the one I ended up playing after a week or so) is more populated and there's a hell of a lot more going on. If you play this server it's fine.

Well, I'm from the UK, so I dunno if they allow Europeans to play on the US server.
