PlanetSide is not even that good of a game IMHO...
Its just a FPS, with a 12$ a month charge. Sure it boasts a large world, but battles only take place is parts anyway...
I played through beta. I liked it, but it wasnt something I would bother paying to play when I have Renegade, BF1942 and Tribes 2.....
It just wasnt worth it for me....

Dont worry, once people start realizing PS is just a FPS and not this massive multiplayer "constant epic battle" game they all thought it was, the 12.99 fee will start to look un-appealing and renegade will be re-installed again...
It happened to me quickly.

Not long. The servers suck. 56kers screw up games. Too many cheaters. Too little variety. No support from EA. No community. No teamwork. Horrible lobby. Ambigious ranking system. Sucky single player. No expanison pack. Old news.

Well, yeah, I guess you're right, unless you count in-game glitches like base 2 base attacks or tunnels beacons cheating, or hosts violating the rules they set up for their servers, such as booting people for not being snipers and then nuking up the place themselves. And let's not forget ever wonderful aimbots and clickbots, and if you don't belive they exist. I'll send you a copy of the one I have. So if none of those count a scheating, then you're right. You are the king of Rengade. All hail the King, the King of Cool who everyone likes, and who has lots of cool friends, and who always knows what he is talking about. All the time.

Ok, Jackass, first and foremost I'd LOVE to see both of the bot's you claim to abundantly have. And even Devinoch himself that b2b and tb were part of the game on purpose, they are just considered cheap by many qualified palyers. And you are an idiot for being in one of those servers anyway. Any other game will have that dufus. And no, I am not the king of renegade, but for this short period of time, you are the jackass of renegade, the king of jackass, the king jackass.

Renegade's going to be around for a while yet. The thing is, is that even though the game's been abandoend by the people who put it out, tehre's a strong grassroots community doing their own mods, maps and additions that is still going strong. While GS may not have any more servers (dang I miss the WOLF days, that was a great server), WOL still has some solid servers that have players all the time.
Planetside understandably has stolen lots of Renegade players. I even fell into the pitfall and beta tested and played the game when it came out - the very reason I haven't been on Renegade that often lately. I liked PS, but I never really intended to play it beyond the first month of public release - mostly because of lag issues that I knew were going to come up, and, more importantly because of the game concept.
The concept of the game is neat - persistent world, base battles and takeovers, classes, and vehicles. It really sounds like Renegade to lots of people, but it really isn't. There's the fee, first off, which, even at $12.99 will make some FPS fans hesitate. And there's the fact that the game never ENDS. The same continents are fought over over and over and over again. It'd be neat if once a continent was locked, it was locked for good until all the continents were locked, giving victory/points/uber experience to one of the three sides who had the most locked. But you can log in one day and have, say, Amerish locked by the Vanu and the next day see it overrun by the Terran Republic. The level cap is a bit low and there's not much to do once you have most of the skills. It gets pointless once the RPG/experience element nears its end.
Add this to the game balancing issues (IMO the Jackhammer is overpowered, and the Vanu in general can never have an even fight with the bullet-spamming Terran republic) and it just wasn't really that great. The huge influx of players just doesn't work.
Renegade is a different beast than Planetside and just about any other FPS-type out there. It's a true, class-based teamwork game with the ability to go in and play games in quick succession. This is part of why Counterstrike is still around - it's a quick bunch of games and the outcome can always be different depending on your team. Even Battlefield 1942, the closest thing to Renegade, doesn't have that neat building-destroying thing and sense of teamwork going for it. I finally got into playing on the Dominition Guild and Pitts servers and the regulars over there are great, lots of good attempts and teamwork and a good challenge.
lifen, I'm glad I came back to Renegade and I'm going to keep playing it. If you don't like it, that's ok, but it's really pointless trying to preach that the game is dead and that, really, we should all feel like you. I can have my opinion and you can have yours. But you're wasting your time in here. We want to play. You don't. There's no point to be here if you don't like playing.
