Question almost release time: will you or won't you?

We're almost at release, just a week to go. It's safe to say the game won't change too much before release, except for fewer crashes and (hopefully) better framerate and less lag.

So, are you going to buy it or not?

I can't help but think that release will lead to better gameplay...more outfits and more organized outfits. Higher-level chars cuz we won't get wiped without warning any more. New weapons, vehicles, skills and areas.

Not to mention the different types of strategies and tactics that evolve over time in any game.

I dunno...for myself, I am pretty excited about playing after release.

tired of the gameplay, what's the differnce between this and BF1942

been reading around the official forums, from what i've learned, the devs have a crapload of things that they plan to implement after release,
theyre objective at the moment is to get the game into a playable state,

so give the game a chance there will lots of new stuff and improvements after the game comes out, it wont really be "Done" for another couple months or so

i'd hope there are a lot of differences between this and bf1942, or you'd be paying monthly's for no reason :P

and to give this game a chance would be expensive, a couple of months of a game, or a new 12" sub for my room

They need to make the weather really come in. The only weathere I have seen is a "sand storm" and snowing. Make it come in with heavy rain, light rain, heavy snow and so on. Oh and a tornado to come thru and take people away and drop them somewhere else .

Ill just create a name under Gryphons account cuz I dont think Ill play it that much for me to go buy another copy.

i am pretty sure I won't be playing or paying for PS. I will wait till I have more time, finals have drained the bank account and now I only have time for work. Plus I feel that there is nothing really gained by playing PS. The continent you locked is gone the next day. You can get access to anything within a few Br's. The only advantage is that cheating won't be as common as in most FPS. I just don't think it is worth 60+(14*12)= $228 bucks....that is what I could buy an XBOX with. Maybe I will change my mind after a couple weeks(my bro is getting it).

I'm in. I am just loving this game more the more I play it. Or was, before I quit. I'll buy it, play for the free month, then we'll see, but most likely I'll stick with it. I like the gameplay and the team spirit. You will not ever get this type of well organized gameplay in any other game I ever played online. There are far fewer cowboys in PS than in, say BF. Besides, it's pretty close to what Tribes ought to have been in my book. (Guess I am in for a world of hurt for that comment )

I'm in. Yes, it may be the same struggle over and over, but I love team PvP, and this can only get better.

Damn lynx...I would have thought that you would be playing for sure. You always sounds so excited when you've scouted out an enemy base and you're sitting cloaked in the CC.

I'm in the undecided group. I have it preordered, and will probably keep that order, but I really think it needs work on the skill side of things. It bugs me that aim and movement are so hindered. Also, infantry combat seems gimped and slow. Think about a light fighting a heavy in T2...both have advantages and disadvantages. Either could win the fight, especially if the heavy knows what he's doing. In PS, I would never try to kill a MAX upclose with a light or reinforced armor. There are just some really screwy things about PS, and the lack of real FPS skill bugs me, along with the persistent balance problems.

I know what you're saying Shark...T2 is a great example of good balance between heavy and light. I played both all the time (LO & HO were my two big roles), and I found that there was nothing worse for the heavy than being alone and have an enemy light show up. Yet if the heavy was smart, he had a chance. In PS, being a MAX is a lot more like being a walking tank than it is being a heavy in Tribes, in spite of the superficial similarities.

Unless I have backup or an anti-vehicle weapon, when I see a MAX I do what I do in BF1942 when I see a tank - run and/or hide.

I think for myself I would be a lot happier with the skill aspect of the game if I could get good framerates in battles. As it is now, the game is so jerky that my aim just plain sucks, I never get the impression in any outdoor firefight that I am playing well. But I'm trying to solve that problem, so who knows.

def playing

gotta get it.

I have found that using a shotgun with armor piercing bullets helps take a max down quicker in a base. however if im caught out in the open and im not in a tank i run for my life.
