Agreed. I've been looking at this game for a long time and I'm really looking forward to it. I heard what you said on chat and I agree, I think the XMEN would take well to it (if they do a good job with it). <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>

There's an article about this game at gamespot.com<br><br>I haven't read it yet, but the new screenshots look really promising. Better hurry up and go look at it before GameSpot puts it in their damn locked up area. <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>

This is going to be a pay-to-play game, isn't it? And I don't just mean the initial cost of the game CD. <p><center><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><td><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/t2red.g ... ><td><font size=5>RedSirus<a href=mailto:redsirus@dragontalonmercs.com>@</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> > <a href=http://server2.ezboard.com/bdragontalon ... ><br><font size=2><a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/bdtmonlinecommunity>DTM Community</a> > <a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/fdtmonlinecomm ... s>RedSirus' Reviews</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Brainwashed Fishmonger</a> > <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan>Forum ... </p><i></i>

You have to equate MMOFPS and MMORPG Games with "Pay $50 for the software, and then pay $12/month to play it, because we suck as a company, and are money hungry bastards." <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

i'd most certainly wish it wasn't that much per month, but if it's gonna live up to the hype or at least close to it, i'm definitely gonna have to hop on the wagon. that is assuming that i have a worthy puter by then which i dern well better as i'm having T2 withdrawals. i luv the T2 team based play-style so much and it seems like this is gonna be one of the only ones in the future that might have similar play albeit mmo and thus the annoying monthly fee.<br><br>This came up a while ago in the SoUP boards too and i had a thought(wow), tho i don't know if anyone already mentioned it to you. Seems like the more people that go in as a team or army or whatever the heck it is the more powerful you'll be. i wonder if there is a cap on the number. otherwise, i was thinking if there was any possibility to it... everyone in the "Xmen ring"(so to speak), meaning all your buddy buddy tribes, who are interested in the game should group up and make one massive alliance. the more online at any given time, the better. i guess it does seem like a lot to ask to form a sort of alliance out of teams who might be used to competing with eachother. don't know what would be the preferred format should we decide to go in together. Probably make a whole new name and not take any one of the team's name so nobody feels alienated. We all could look at it as a pretty loose get together with maybe a small site and a board for schedules and such for organization. Or more tight knit like it really is a whole new clan instead of just an alliance which may tend to self destruct and split up. Otherwise, we could just decide to have one team do it, and if anybody on any other team decides they want to play that game, just tell them to go to that one clan.<br><br>A lot if not most of the fun in playing a team based game like T2 or Planetside is the commradery(sp?) built with the buddies you play with. <br><br>Another question would be who is going to head it up leadership-wise. well, whoever has the time, i'd be willing to put in whatever extra time i have around RL and T2. i know this is asking a lot, and heck, i'm tired so i probably sound incoherrent(sp?) but you get the jist...<br><br>what do you think would be the general response from all the cool people? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub3.ezboard.com/usirdiesal0t.sh ... age=EN>Sir Diesal0t</A>&nbsp; <IMG SRC="http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/misc_2.gif" BORDER=0> at: 7/28/02 2:08:47 am<br></i>

Well, it would be sweet to have all the friendly of us get together and make a Planetside Alliance, I will probably get this game, depends on the monthly tho. But OF course those of us who do get should all band together. <p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/cam" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/jester/thb_ccam.jpg" border="0"></a></td><td><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/kirabby/Eebay/spam.gif" align="middle"></td><td><b><a href="mailto:jester@thzclan.com">996</a></b><br><a href=http://www.thzclan.com>Cerberus of THZ*</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>XMEN</a><br><b><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Merc</a> </b></td> <td> <img src="http://www.thzclan.com/jester/minime.jp ... ><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmenashamandtm ... ge=EN>XMEN Ashaman DTM</a> <img src=http://www.nickandsarah.com/xmen.gif> at: 7/18/02 11:16:26 am</i></p></p><i></i>

I think that each tribe would be considered a squad. A represenative of each squad will help choose missions and the details. It would be fun to have us all working together each using their stregths. <p><b><u>-LoS-TimberWolf</u></b><sub>vehicle specilist</sub><p><img src="http://65.108.58.179/image_upload/Mech3.jpg" align=left><hr>Click <a href="http://ngal.fateback.com">here</a> for wierd creatures.<p><p>"Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole<p>"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<p><hr></p><i></i>

Of course, the XMEN Squad would be on permanent "Roof Defending" duties. <p><center><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><td><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/t2red.g ... ><td><font size=5>RedSirus<a href=mailto:redsirus@dragontalonmercs.com>@</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> > <a href=http://server2.ezboard.com/bdragontalon ... ><br><font size=2><a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/bdtmonlinecommunity>DTM Community</a> > <a href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/fdtmonlinecomm ... s>RedSirus' Reviews</a></font><br><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Brainwashed Fishmonger</a> > <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan>Forum ... </p><i></i>

hehe, if you are good at that then do it. If I get this game, I would prabably be on solo recon, group escourt, or dropship pilot. <p><b><u>-LoS-TimberWolf</u></b><sub>vehicle specilist</sub><p><img src="http://65.108.58.179/image_upload/Mech3.jpg" align=left><hr>Click <a href="http://ngal.fateback.com">here</a> for wierd creatures.<p><p>"Don't Drink And Drive, Get High And Fly Home" said by Neckhole<p>"To Love A Woman Is To Know Heaven And Hell Personaly" Don't Recal Who Said This<p><hr></p><i></i>

I'd be a Pilot for sure. Dropship, Fighter, it matters not to me. <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>
