Planetside 2

[absynth]

PLayed the beta, loved it. Only beef I had with this game is the system requirements.. this thing eats CPU.

The game is released on Tuesday (20th Nov) and is Free2Play with cash options for XP boosts.

Check out the video ( dont know how to embed on this site)
P.S Im playing Terran Replublic

That actually looks pretty good, confusing, but good.
It might have a steep learning curve and a little more strategic than your normal FPS game, and if it's Free to Play I might have a gander.

The system specs are pretty high though, he was said an Nvidia 680 only just manages 40fps on high and it didn't look that detailed.

I was going to do a blog post about it, but I really couldn't describe this game in more than like 3 sentences. I found the game to be fun for about an hour. It's one of those games where you NEED team work.
If I had a group of 4 or 5 friends,who could all get in the same gunship and cruise around or drop-pod in together, maybe i would enjoy it.

The lack of objectives and any sort of tutorial or informative prologue also kills it for me. I feel as if you cant just throw someone in a 50 v 50 v 50 map with no tutorial whatsoever. I found myself wandering into enemy territory and constantly dying to snipers, simply because I had no idea what was going on.

installing it now, I'll take a look and see how it goes.

Maybe if you watched the video I linked? That pretty much explains it I believe. You do play with others on voice comms if you join the right squad. Just look for the 'Teamplay/Waypoints' squads listed in the finder.

I watched the whole video, it does look good, but I might not meet the minimum video requirements for 1080p
I've only got a 550GT

[absynth]

ive only got a i7 920 , HD5870 and 12 gig RAM.. I can most settings on medium some on high.. get about 50 fps

[DJ-Daz]

what faction do I need to choose?

Well I discovered what to do eventually. A lot of people don't have that video to help them thoufh. The majority of squads that I've been in don't talk.
