It’s a shame there has been no sequel yet, PlanetSide was one of the best MMOFPS games ever made. The only thing that was close to as much fun was Tribes 2, and that was much smaller scale.

It was really great when it started. The home base had heaps of people piling into transport carriers and flying off to huge epic battles. Unfortunately, it got really bad when they tried to balance it, and the population death spiral began.

Sony: ” Vehicle ‘s running over people was just too overpowered, so we’ve removed that from the game. In an unrelated note, you can now call down a giant orbital strike beam of energy that can strike anywhere, at anytime, and destroy everything in a 40 mile radius.”

Definitely time for Planetside 2. They should probably remove the BFR’s due to balance issues, but keeping the Certification system intact. I personally don’t know any games besides Borderlands that allows you to change your training to a different skill-set, something I think was an absolute breakthrough with changing your character in case you got bored while not having to make a all brand new character which many MMO’s do today.

Only additive for a planetside 2 instead of the BFR’s just add more vehicles….I’m all for mechs, but I think it hurt the game, especially ones that fly/tank armor.

Planetside has the very important “fun factor” that still entertains people today and deserves a sequal. Very original idea that i still speak of today with my friends.

Note* Some devs of this game made “warhawk” for the playstation 3. Some base designs are very similar and gameplay is similar, however doesnt touch planetside’s fun factor of the massive battles.

Planetside is definitely one of the best game ever, however, ruined by lack of support from SOE….where else can u find 100vs100vs100 battles? Also, the community in planetside is one of the best!

it would be good if blizzard bought the rights to planet side and re made it with loot and bosses/ were players are selected to become the bosses for completeing certain tasks the other teams would have to work hard to take them down. also i think anyone who wants a game like this and dosent want it to be pay2play is a moron. simple fact is you get what you pay for.

I think theres a serious market for a rebirth of Planetside, however it needs to be made by someone other than SOE.

They’d be onto a winner with a £30 game, distributed through Steam and retail with no monthly subscription that offered battles on the same scale as planetside with 2010/2011 graphics

The key is to find a balance in the gameplay and then leave it alone. When it dies it dies… but if it’s great to start with and free once people have bought it, they will keep playing it.

Swat 4 is a great example of perfect multiplayer that’s still going years after it’s release…

I also have been thinking about a ps2. I still think planetside had to been one of the best games out there just because of its size. I havent played another game that can live up to the epic battles of planetside, the closet thing would have to be MAG but that got gay fast. Hopefuly the new warhammer 40k mmo has the same game play, hell I cant see why not. Its based off a game where all you do is kill eachother and there more then one army wanting the same peice of land… sounds likes planetside to me.

just the idea of a planetside 2 is making me drool !

but sadly i doubt it will happen aswell!

personally i would probably like to see a MMOFPS not build on furturistic theme.

but planetside 2 would be another step for a genre that never seem to have the breaktru it deserves!

Well it just so happens.. as a Planetside subscriber, I just got a survey from Sony to talk about what I’d like to see in a Planetside sequel. *GASP* Miracles do happen!
