Planetside Aftershock is a great addition to the Planetside stable. With Planetside you have always had huge choice - play as pure support, out and out heavy assault grunt, tank commander, dropship pilot or tank buster pilot - and everything in between. With Aftershock Sony add the ability to stomp around in huge BFRs - Battle Frame Robotics - mechs to you and me :) They are hugely powerful and encourage strong team work within squads to take them down. As a result Planetside has a new dynamic - with large battles taking place in open country between these BFRs, their support troops and traditional light and medium tanks.
If that wasn't enough - the BFRs require players to "attune" in the Caverns - in other words we now have great fights happening every day in the caves of Planetside - a previous add on Sony delivered which was so promising, yet also flawed in many ways. Most of the flaws are now corrected and the acquisition of BFRs is proving to be a great way of getting folks back into the caves to be pleasantly suprised.
Planetside fundamentally is unique in FPS gaming - truly massive battles, great teamplay and a role to match everyones taste. Give it a whirl!!
