Planetside

If a game like this were to be developed and it had elements of PvE and PvP in it and it was a first person shooter would you play it?

I would love to see a Battlefield 2 persistent world MMORPG/FPS.   Now that would rock as long as we could have female toons for us women that like to play FPS's.  Anyone else care to see such a game developed?

I couldn't see how it would work with BF2 because it has no story or anything like that and it has no character.

Well I have seen on Xplay's coverage of the GDC a preview The Agency by SOE. This could be similar in ways just not as large scale battles. Although I have never played planetside myself I hear it dident work so great with so many players at once.

 I have been waiting for a re-vamp of planetside for a long time. Its a great concept. Altho I think I would prefer an Aliens vs predator style mmo/fps

I would love to play a well done FPS MMORPG. As far as a BF2 one, it could be done, just make it in the near future and add a good WWIII backstory, perhaps like the old PnP game "Twighlight 2000" if any one but myself remembers that one. It would make for a great game.

I wouldn't go for a remake of PS. However, I find the concept great. So yeah, I would definately like a new game like that.

On a sidenote: Do NOT compare BF2 (Or whatever BF for that matter) with a game like Planetside. Planetside has a lot more depth (Both tactically and strategically) than BF2, although when it comes down to the actual FPS action, BF2 is still king (Frontlines might be better though).

If BF2 had the scale of PS, then we would be happy, wouldn't we? :).

Actually, one thing that mildly annoyed me about BF2 was lazily picking up the PS2 box in the local shop one day just to look at and there on the back was a lot of stuff about a single-player campaign. True, all this probably was, was the various maps in a certain order with perhaps the odd cutscene to drive a story, but it wouldn't have killed them to have done something similar with the PC version.

Hopefully Vigil (Not to be confused with Sigil that did VG) will make Warhammer 40k MMO like PS.

Sure, I would for one love to see a new Planetside. Perhaps with some PvE thrown in on the side that contributes to the war effort in some way that would atleast provide more motivation to PvE.

So yes Teala, it is definately possible.

Even for a BF2 MMOFPS, just as long as it was laid out similarly to WWIIO and Planetside.

If a company brought out a game similar to PlanetSide's gameplay and then some, I would happily pay 20 dollars a month for it. That would be the only game I would play for years .
