This. Unless you're not familiar with PC gaming, go Vanu.

Low settings, it isn't exactly beautifully optimized.

Big map, enjoy wandering aimlessly a lot.

Actually the game is very well optimized. I run it on all max settings with my 560TI, its probably your system.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

There's a big list of small but helpful tips I saw on Reddit, let me see if I can dig it up.
Here we go! I found this to be super helpful, for the longest time I was sniping without Shift, it was super hard!

I hate MLP. It is cancerous and pretty stupid to see men watching a show for girls. They can deny the truth but the truth shall prevail!

I haven't played it yet, but Vanu sounds like it is the best.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

It sounds like a cool game, but I don't have a proper computer.

I'm New Conglomerate, but I've always hated the Vanu the most, because they are always up to something and they are always screwing us over with their advanced technology. At one point we were about to take the crown from the Terran Republic and we were pushing up with tanks and Infantry from the south, and about 50 Vanus showed up with Tanks and Infantry and completely flanked and slaughtered us and pushed in to take The Crown.

Dirty Filthy Vanus. If you've ever read the webcomic Gone with the Blastwave, the Vanus seem most like the Yellow Army.

Reminds me of when the Vanu held the Crown on Connery. It was a combined defensive between the three largest VS outfits (TEST, AT, and someone else) to hold the Crown. After 5 minutes of getting nowhere, we decided to take every other hex the VS owned and ended up warpgating them. After that they had the gall to declare themselves as the victors.

Its fun, the NC are the most badass but really underpowered the accuracy sucks on the starter weapons.
Especially on the Heavy's default rifle. I've had much better luck with going Medic / Engineer / Light class when I've had to fight outdoors.

Can't wait to go sniping now that I know about the entire Shift to steady your shot thing. Unfortunately my laptop can't run the game, but there's a student in our Computer Science Department trying to install it on all the Computer Science machines. Good man.

Prepare to get bullsh**ted a lot in close-quarters fights.

I love sniping, but nothing beats going invisible, watching the blind enemy just shoot in front of you when you pass them, then pistol spam as many of them as you can. lulz are had. (EDIT: lol@above)

For the love of all that is holy, when you are in an enemy base, go to the letters! The base will be captured faster!

I've been in a hostile base full of my allies, with only 1 or less at each letter! It's so sloooow.


TR is where the winners at. Everyone knows that. Nothing beats a two-barrel battle tank. NOTHING!

The last time I played Planetside, the Terrans had taken over most of Indar, so I am still rather mad at them.

NC tanks dominate the other factions.
It's sorta true, two barrels or not, nothing stops a single powerful shell.

What's up with the Vanu tanks, are they just supposed to be more manueverable like their ships or do they have some other generic benefit over other factions?
