Sir yes Sir! Planetside is a massively multiplayer online game. There are three factions and Sony has dedicated servers. The three factions fight for control of bases and land, there are different kinds of bases that provide diferent bonus/advantages to your side if you control them. There are all kinds of certifications you have to earn to do certain things, and many ways to play, you could be a grunt (foot soldier), stealhy operative, pilot, gunner on dropship, small plane, tank, tank driver, stuff like that. You can always check the status of the game on the website. It'll tell you whos in control of what. I was thinking like, 2 factions (obviously human vs. covenant) who fight across huge maps with the certification/skill up system. You can check the status of an ongoing battle online, possibly message people who are in game from the computer. The problem with Planetside was many people werent too organized, and focus's heavily on team play. You could go it alone, but its hell fighting an effective squad by yourself. It really places the emphasis on teamwork not solo play. With voice communication, things could be alot more organized, and the new clan features, the potential is endless.......I'll leave you to dream........
