You all actually missed out on some really good times

[Copenhagen]

Well the main reason of that post was to point out some of the things that made me like PlanetSide.

What does PlanetSide have to do with Huxley? A Whole hell of a lot actually.

Its the same as if someone came out with a chocolate cookie sandwhich that had a white creamy filling. We'd straight away compare it to a "Oreo" cookie.

PlanetSide is the direct bases for articulating Huxley. It is the only other succesful MMOFPS on the market ...it is also the First one to Make it. So, whether you hate SOE and you think there walls are painted pink makes no never mind. They did have a succesful MMOFPS...so they did something right, at least for a while.

Another reason I have made this post is because I notice alot of you on these forums have not in fact played PlantSide. So you have no Idea of what a real MMOFPS is like. I'm trying to tell you, but you keep trying to shove it back up my rear end. Yeah, you can compare a MMOFPS with a regular FPS...But it'd kinda be like comparing Mayonase to Peanut Butter. When you actually want to compare mayonase to mustard. But if you don't know anything about mustard then you are forced to compare it with what you do know about...which is peanut butter. I am offering you advice about mustard and explaining you the ways and attributes of musterd to give you a better and wider scope of things to discuss, and you don't want to hear it.

So to get on here and run me down about talking about one of the games that the "Lead" designers of Huxley find very intresting as well. Well...that is a little naive I think.

Although in closing...it does excite me a very great deal that the developers and lead desginers are not in fact naive...and they know excatly where alot of their criticizing is going to come from. It will be a intresting outcome to say the least to see what they think planetside did right and did'nt. (In other words what aspects of an MMOFPS they keep from PlanetSide.)

Oh one more thing, Alec wrote:

If you want people to play Planetside then go post this on the SOE forums because this is the wrong place to do it.

Actually, this would be the best place to do it. People on the SOE planetside forums are already playing PlanetSide. That is why they are able to post on those forums. You can't post on those forums unless you have a PlanetSide subscription...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you did'nt know that. Being as how people in other communities just might be intrested in the fact the SOE is starting up a new ad where you can download the game and set up and account for free and play the game completely "FREE!" for a whole year with a program called "Cannon Fodder" ....Places like this are the very place to talk about it. However, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

This would also be a great way for people intrested in huxley to see what the other actuall successful MMOFPS is like. But that obviously is not you, because your to naive and hardheaded.

:shock:

I do believe this is the most calm, sensable, informative, justifying, and explanatory post I've ever seen from Copenhagen.

Just to let you know, Copenhagen, you've challenged me. I'll be looking for the "Cannon Fodder" download so that I can try Planetside.

You're right, I think. A lot of people who play FPS games but not MMOFPS games probably don't really know what it's about. In their minds, the concept is awesome, but they can't fully grasp it.

I say this from experience, because I've never tried Planetside (though I've wanted to). And yes, I have these awesome ideals about what it's like. Ideals need to be put to the test now and then.

Huxley will probably be different, but to get a feel for what it's like to play an MMOFPS, I'm gonna go with the only other alternative: Planetside.

I'm interested to see if there are hit boxes, jumping shots with accuracy, and all the other fps stuff you see on an 8-64 player server. There ar big differences between between fps and mmofps. Although, Copenhagen is forgetting about World War II Online as an MMOFPS.

I could probably go on a long tangent about what is wrong with planetside, and it would last for pages. However, people still play it, and they all know the issues and grudgingly accept them. I'm hoping the developers of Huxley know most of these problems and work to prevent them in their own game.

Jumping shots with accuracy? :?

I hate people who jump around all over the place while in combat. And to give them accuracy while doing it would just be a crime.

My referance for this is something done in Planetside where your Cone of Fire is grossly expanded to eliminate in chance of an accurate shot. In other fps games, you don't often see the lack of accuracy, so you end up with "bunny-hopping." Some games make jumping slow you down but that equates to limited "bunny-hopping."

[Bourne]

Ah, I see what you mean. Expanding the cone of fire sounds like a good deal. Wish more FPS games did it.

And, yeah, bunny-hopping really, really annoys me. Makes me want to shoot the person just a little bit more.

[Copenhagen]

What SOE was trying to do was cut out the One shot Insta gibs. No body like to be insta gibbed. Esp in a video game where it is nine times out of ten very much laggy and rubberbandy.

I get killed in planet side all the time just for nothing. Never see any one...never here any guns shooting or nothing then in the kill spam it says someone killed me with a MCG.

In an Online MMO just because you PWN someone don't mean they suck 100% of the time. It could mean the internet is all jacked up for them and they never even heard you shoot one shot at them.

That is why planetside cut down on most of the ways to "Twitch" game. Snipers are cool and its fun...but let someone know they can kill someone with one shot...and thats all they will every want to do is sit in a tree and snipe all the time...next thing you know you have about 1000 people doing the same thing and you can walk anywhere. in an MMOFPS. with 100 people just sitting in trees sniping all you'll find out you can't even walk out the door if they were one shot one killing you. In a regular fps game you dont have that many snipers running around.

Yeah planet side has alot of issues. and they have neglected to fix them. But it was still successful and is still running on a couple servers.

[Alec]

Hey Copenhagen, I did know that only people subscribed to Planetside can post on the forums, I used to play. I bashed you for two reasons, you worshiped Planetside in your first post and second you worshiped it with no reason why you typed all that. Now, of course, you explain it. But still, I disagree with you saying, like many other people here, the Planetside has a lot to do with Huxley.

Agreed, so take the advice Copenhagen if you're just going to talk about Planetside when it is a different game.

[Landain]

Could I get a Mustard and Mayo sandwich to go?
Oh, and hold the peanut Butter. thanks. :wink:

Your un-informed.....thank you :roll:

[Copenhagen]

I'm starting to feel like It's hard to make any kind of a point at all unless it involves you being able to display smily faces over you head with the eyes being P and W and the mouth being and N...and the hair being lolz.

Kids...

Whats bad about it is I'm a redneck from Arkansas and I have a really short fuse. And I let crap like this bother me.

"With no solid information on Huxley, what else would you like the members of the fourm to do? The only thing to do is build the community and talk about other things regarding MMOs and FPSs in general."

^I did not come up with this statment but its a good one.

[Guyver]

Ha you think you have it bad -----I had to sit through Katrina with no power for 2 weeks and that means no washing clothes and etc. Though I did use my neighbors generator to power my fridge and my PSP.

Oh and you think youre redneck?

My next doot neighbor owns a quanzit hut. A sortof small airplane hanger. Usually smaller versions are barracks for the military. I had to stay in that with all his auto stuff during the hurricane. No cable but he had plenty of nascar stuff around.

You think that's bad, I had to cross a berm into Iraq with no bathing or changing clothes (don't have an option when you're wearing a chemical suit) for nearly 3 months. When we finally could change, and actually sleep outside the humvee, we lived on a parking lot. Not to mention lack no air conditioning and crud in the middle of summer in the desert amongst far worse conditions But then again, I did raise my hand and swear to uphold the Constitution and live in nasty, crappy places.

(note: This is post has nothing against those who faced Katrina and saw some of the worst Mother Nature has to offer. For those who did, I'm truly sorry for your losses and hardships due to the storm.)

I have had a lot of fun battles in Planetside, it's a good, fast paced game. There are a few bad things about it, as there are or will be in any game.
I am playing it right now, and having a lot of fun, sometimes. But what I really hate is how theres either a fight.. or theres not. I like to shoot people, not cap empty bases all day. But anyway... I am going to give Huxley a try, if I don't like it, I can always fall back on Planetside

P.S. Some of you guys are really very ill-mannered jerks to be frank, for flaming someone for posting his opinion about something (which we all have done here.)

[b0unty hUnt3r]

P.S. Copenhagen.. we arent yellin at u for postin bout planetside.. just the fact this forum has categories for stuff like that.. go to Off-Topic forum for this.. by the looks of it u really love PS seeing as every 1 of ur posts in this hole forum is about it.. just leave that kinda stuff into off topic. Sorry but it just gets me mad when people bring other games and relate it to EVERY aspect of a game thats not even out..
