Ballistics Report

Pros

It’s huge!
The scale of the battles in PlanetSide – their size, breadth, and depth – is unprecedented

It actually works!
One of those all-too-rare MMOs that debuts with all its features intact and its servers stable

More action game than MMO game
With its unique approach, PlanetSide avoids many of the pitfalls and disadvantages of other MMOs

Purple noon


Cons

Climb that learning curve, soldier!
Like most MMOs, it’s not very newbies friendly

War without end…
It can get a bit pointless without any long-term goals or meaningful persistence

$12.99/month
Are you ready to pay a monthly fee for a first person shooter? (Particularly when $12.99 will be the highest fee until Star Wars: Galaxies hits stores. -ed.)

 Random Fact
$12.99 is price-gouging, in my (Jakub’s) opinion. $15.99 should be considered usury, even though it has nothing to do with lending, but at least it gives the Pope grounds for excommunication.
