Planetside -- the first MMO FPS -- will soon be offering a FREE version. It's called the Cannon Fodder program. I've been playing Planetside since beta in April 2003 and it is a great game. If you like the community of a MMO, the action of a FPS and a wide variety of opportunities for teamwork, tactics and strategy then there is simply no better game on the market today, even over 2 years later. The "free" version will be coming out in February. SOE will offer a "limited" version of the game for free, with a free download of the client. You will only be able to level up to Battle Rank 6 (25 is the current maximum) and no Command Rank. Here are the latest details. In Planetside you earn Certification Points for each Battle Rank. So, at BR6, this means that you'll be able to get good armor, a bunch of weapons and a vehicle or a support cert (hacker, medic or engineer). When Planetside becomes "free" I highly encourage you to give it a try. But, don't just jump in and run around and kill stuff. Join a good Outfit (clan) and learn from some experienced players. You will have a lot more fun and will experience many things about PS that you might miss on your own. It's really the opportunities, and need, for teamwork that set PS apart from other good games. My Outfit, the Azure Twilight on the Emerald Server playing the Vanu Sovereignty, welcomes and trains new players. We are 100% focused on teamwork and tactical ops. We'd be happy to show you around "our" favorite game. If you just can't wait for the Cannon Fodder program, and want to try it now, post on our Visitor forum and we'll get you a free 10-day Buddy Trial and you can be playing tonight. See you Planetside.
