New PlanetSide Stuff

Biggest thing is you can attack the enemy Sanctuary! I guess they are trying to address the no victory condition complaint.

Please take a moment and post the text... I cannot read it here.

Thx...

PlanetSide will soon be released, but the development team isn't resting. Check out what's on the horizon for updates and additions to the game!

Here's a peek at what you can expect in the near future for PlanetSide:

New aircraft :
Liberator - a brand new common pool bomber
Lodestar -- a vehicle transport aircraft
New vehicle:
Skyguard -- an anti-aircraft buggy
Platoons: Combine up to three squads to facilitate chat, share XP and organize and command large-scale missions with up to 30 people .
Sanctuary Strikes: Strike at the heart of your enemy. By achieving a "lock" on the three continents connected to an enemy sanctuary, launch attacks via the opened warpgates.
Quarterly Outfit Competitions: Conduct special events featuring structured competitions between outfits. Games like "Capture the Flag" and others can be played.

Thanks Hale... sounds like some really interesting stuff. Sign me up for 3 months.

Given that you can now at least theoretically win, what chance would you guys give of actually doing it? Suppose that everyone in one race was super elite, and the others were rank noobs. How long would it take to finish the map?

A long time.

That would be war.

I like the sound of it... if... you can actualy destroy (I think destruction would be better than capture, but either would do) the enemy sanctuary. That would be cool. Lock a team out of the game, would suck to be that team though as it would take equaly as long or longer to get rid of one of the last two. Hmm...

I'm going for that all access thing anyway. So I'm on PS for a while.
