Planetside 2

Has anyone else tried this game yet? It's FTP, and incredibly epic. It's graphics intensive, and even on low my game lags now and then, but even still it's totally worth it. New Conglomerate FTW.

It is very enjoyable but I can never play it right because my internet is garbage. Reminds me of BF2142. The planes are really hard to fly at first. It's a lot of fun trying to capture bases nobody is at. A much better FPS than BF3.

Wow, looks awesome. I am downloading now. Not much for FPS but I'll give it a try since it's free. I hope it's better than Team Fortress. That was just awful (Don't shoot me!).

It's fun, but my hardware can't reliably handle the game. In some zones it's lots of fun, in anything close to a large fight I get about 10 frames per second at best. I had to stop playing.

[poisin224]

Yeah, I'm on Low graphics and I get low FPS sometimes. Gonna look into upgrading my graphics card.

I have it and am loving it. Only things is, my computer randomly crashes after about 30 minutes. I have the same problem with Civilization 5 (But usually only after hours of play). But not with Skyrim at max settings and 20+ mods. Confound these Steam games! They drive me to drink! I am at a loss for why it keeps happening. I don't think my PSU is overdrawn and I know I have the hardware to handle these games. No overheating or cooling issues. I am going to run MemTest86 tonight while I sleep and see if that turns up anything.

Wanna join a squad with me, perhaps? Fighting by yourself is retty fun in that game, but the greatest feelings come from winning as a team.

Example- I took part in a tank battle on Friday night that involved ~15 NC tanks versus ~20 TR tanks, on Amerish. We were defending a bridge. through great heavy and engi support, we were able to hold all night and even push them back at daybreak. It wqas just so epic, I love those moments. I romantacize about war in games like this

I might have to take you up on that. I've been playing as the Vanu when I'm alone. Do I need a mike or anything? I have a mic on my webcam, not sure if that will work.

How is Vanu? I've considered making a second character. A mic is optional, but preferred.

[DarthAvarous]

I've only played a couple of times but it was fun each time (Even though I suck at FPS). The Vanu seem good enough but I haven't tried any other side yet.
