A newly designed 3D engine drives PlanetSide's first-person player-to-player combat and vehicular warfare across ten continents It doesn't matter if you're an avid RPG gamer or a fanatical FPS player you'll find something in PlanetSide that's just right for you. The stage has been set the battle lines drawn and dropships are ready to deploy you PlanetSide! The PlanetSide continents measure approximately 64 square kilometres varying from arctic wastelands to scorching deserts. Players work to capture various technological bases--using both soldier-to-soldier as well as vehicle-based combat--with a view to bringing continents under the control of their chosen empire. The action of the game takes place in a persistent universe represented by a planet divided into several continents. The wide variety of settings range from an ice desert to arid lands. In this universe each player takes the form of a mercenary selected before play from different rival corporations. Corporations assign missions to the players with the aim of taking control of rival technology bases. There are several interests to the game. First of all each player is free to carry out their mission in a group or independently.
