Planetside 2

I know that most of you will be eagerly anticipating the release date to the new Free-to-Play Big-Team-Battle MMOFPS known as Planetside 2 which uses SOE's Forgelight Engine.

A small description for Planetside 2 for those of you who are ignorant and blissful:
PlanetSide 2 is a science fiction MMOFPS set approximately 300 years after the discovery of Auraxis, although the chronology of the game universe starts a few years before. After the Earth has nearly come to ruin after being torn apart by war, the world's governments came to a consensus and united under one banner: the world-wide Terran Republic (TR). Some time later a wormhole, one which scientists fail to explain, appears and later disappears without a trace. Ex-President of the Terran Republic, Tom Connery, believes that the wormhole is a sign of existing extraterrestrial life and launches several space expeditions. The first expedition to Moon Belt gives a lead—a figurine of alien nature—giving Connery a reason to start a second expedition further into space. Several Terran Republic ships travel through the wormhole and are stranded for a very long period of time; their situation grows dire. Due to the crew's mental exhaustion and provision limit, strict curfews are applied. Later, a vote is held about the necessity of the measures. The positive vote wins, but only barely. There are nearly as many negative votes. A second vote is called. However, a terrorist bomb destroys the ship on which the vote is to occur, killing everyone aboard, including Connery. Curfews pass. Later, the expedition discovers the planet Auraxis, and exactly 175 years later, the war between the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate breaks out. Following this, a group of combatants calling themselves the Vanu Sovereignty join the conflict.

I, myself, will probably pick the Vanu Sovereignty. I will also, probably, augment my character for vehicle or sniper-support play. Meaning I will either be an engineer or an infiltrator in most events.



Feel free to tell us what faction, class and augment you will be taking!


May the ancient knowledge and wisdom, of technology long past, guide you all.
