Planet Side was a pretty good game, that ultimately suffers from what all those types of games suffer from and that is lack of progression/goals and the eventual boredom that sinks in when you do the same thing over and over and over again.
Anyways, I had enough fun playing the first game that I will seriously consider the second.

That about sums it up for me as well. Loved SWG pre-CU, then SOE decided they knew better than the players and now look where SWG is at.
This draws an uncanny parallel to the current dev team...

Yep. The hard part is that these sorts of games offer nothing over F2P alternatives to legitimize a $15 a month fee. It was a lot of fun when it was populated.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Track record is pretty poor for last series of MMOs they have been involved with regardless of the people involved, the name of the IP, or size of the team. I really loved Planetside... right up to where it was completely being ignored despite being populated. Then everyone kind of just started leaving and never came back for the expansion 
That said, as someone who liked Planetside... why would I expect the new game to be anything like the original gameplay wise? They haven't stuck to game mechanics of original titles or even expansions (NGE). Heck, they produced DCUO stating it wasn't being designed around consoles even past release day when PC gamers were asking why you couldn't really use your mouse for anything.
I'm probably missing a title that was actually pretty good and true to the IP so I'm all ears, but off hand I can't think of anything they developed recently that would make me actually interested in even following development. Will just wait for release and see what people are saying on other gaming boards about it

the problem with making it such that you don't shoot where you aim just because you are lower level is that its not fun and not very fps-like. by the same guidelines shouldn't your character not move where you direct it to in WoW if its agility or intelligence score is low?
That is just a stupid comparison. It doesn't take agility or intelligence to properly put one foot in front of the other. It does however take experience and training to accurately fire a weapon.

that is just a stupid comment. jumping over rocks and swimming across water and lava and jumping off cliffs and buildings and all the other sort of movement you can do at low levels in WoW is more than just putting one foot in front of the other. i'm sure swimming through molten lava takes some training.
Maybe if you had explained yourself in your first post it wouldn't have been such a stupid comparison?
