Summary
PlanetSide is the world's first massively multiplayer online first-person action game. This groundbreaking game allows thousands of players to fight online in a 24-hours-a-day global war that has never been seen before in the first-person genre. PlanetSide takes squad-based combat to the next level. The promise of voice chat functionality in PlanetSide further enhances the experience of fighting together with a squad and working as a team.
At the outset, you must choose your allegiance and enlist in one of the armies of three unique empires, in the fight for total domination, global-style. You get to build your chosen character and hopefully become one of the best in more than 30 specialised combat skills, including infantry, sniper, stealth commando, engineer, hacker, medic, pilot, and driver. In the massive world of PlanetSide, there's a role for everyone.
Join your friends online and form a squad as you experience action like you've never seen before, with massive battles and a wide variety of vehicles to pilot and drive. Equip yourself with futuristic weaponry and armour as you arm yourself for battle and defeat all those who oppose your empire.
A monthly subscription fee is payable to stay in the game, and we can say with some confidence that a little money invested every month will go a long way. Want a game that's truly worth your hard-earned? Planetside is the one.
