MMO Awesomeness
While I was never the biggest MMO fan considering that most are RPG's, I looked into this game with high hopes. "An FPS with thousands of people?", it's pretty much as awesome as you think it is. Starting up the game you have three empires to choose from, Terran Republic who have and emphasis on fast weapons that deal less damage, New Conglomerate who have slow weapons with heavy firepower, and Vanu Sovereignty who's weapons serve multiple abilities like armor penetrating rounds.
I chose the New Conglomerate starting off and immediately got into combat along with a few hundred of my fellow teammates and few hundred other enemies, even though I was still a low level and didn't have many weapons and vehicles to choose from I jumped in the gunner seat of a tank or bomber and started to kill. The best way I can describe the experience while assaulting a base is Tribes+Unreal Tournament+Flaming Ninjas+Cake.
The good points of PSide out way the bad, the weapons are very unbalanced but when your in the middle of a 200+ person fight for a base or tower you wouldn't even notice it. Unfortunately the good days of PSide are long gone and it's barely hanging on as it is, SOE has let most of the dev's go to work on other games.
Although there was a recent server merge so now all of North America is on one server and you can probably still find really amazing fights on the weekends but I'm sure it wont last for long. If this game interest you even a little, subscribe to it for just a month and experience the awesomeness during the weekends. I'm going by Giant Bombs review system and giving it five stars because this game was just so much fun to play.
