Downloaded Planetside, nicked a friends account....

Apart from the fact that it looks like the release date is farrrrr too close (remember Tribes 2 anyone?) it looks like it could be fun. But....



....how the smeg do you play it?!!


Logged on for the first time, went into the "training" bit to have a look about.

Training? Training???!!

It kinda leaves you alone to find out for yourself. Not even a walkthrough of the basics. There were stacks of n00bs like me sat a vehicle pad and some even managed to get their reavers to fly (without crashing no less!) - but the biggest question being bandied about was:

"How do we quit out of this bit of training and go back to the sanctuary??"

!

As luck would have it - I, myself, didn't need an answer. The game crashed to windows.



As for weapons training. No help with standard loadouts or simple explanation of basic armour types. It leaves you to discover it _all_. I'm not lazy - but does anyone remember the basic half-life training for the n00bs? We didn't need it - but we could all appreciate how useful it would be for someone who'd never played that type of game before...



Anyway- in the short time I was there it looked like it has potential. I'll persevere and see what I can do :)

Manuals suck!

If you want to teach me something give me snippets of info, like you get on some things in game.

I don't want to read 12pages on the inner workings of a fictious weapon to find out its good at killing soldiers but shite for armour piercing.

I found it quite interesting, the gfx weren't great and the incredible lag of 1 frame every 6 seconds gave me a headache

Smooth as my missus' ass on my machine m8...

(before the jokes - mostly nice with the occasional "blip") ;)



And the "tutorial" is pretty instructive. Gonna give it another go :)

No, real sports. I.e. football! We'll have none of those egg chasers.
