Rating: Summary: Planetside's first expansion Review: This should be a very good expansion. The PS community is anxiously awaiting its release since it has many interesting additions to the game. New vehicles, new weapons, underground/urban combat areas, and new technology for bases. Order it, Play it. Choose TR, otherwise I will be forced to sick Malodorous on you.
Rating: Summary: Half Baked Ripoff Review: waste of money. Should'nt have to pay extra for something like this.
Rating: Summary: Good idea, poor implementation, horrible community Review: Whenever getting into any SOE game, beware. The community is the low point by far. SOE forums are known for laughing over the deaths of pets and even players. Recently when a player of planetside had a brain hemmorage and died, the customers thought it the funniest thing in the world. You would be horrified to hear their position on the death of a pet. And that is usually the problem with SOE products. Although they have the technology and the financial resources to back up creation of top of the line products, they continue to fall far short in customer service and community management. In all internet forums there are jerks, the difference is that other forums (such as Atari's Unreal Tournament forum) actually get rid of the filth and manage the forums. The only things that disappear from SOE forums are posts that decrease sales of the product through exposing weaknesses in them. As for the game itself, it is a great idea and poorly implements. Client side hit detection in the game is a hacker's paradise. Furthermore, the company seems more interested in slowing down the achievement of players than making an enjoyable experience. Their recent expansion, Core Combat, was yet another example of their incompetence. There are many players in the MMOG industry. The days of the EQ monopoly are over and I suggest you check out their compeditors instead.
