Within the game, there is a great deal of casual discussion as to which sides are ostensibly good and which ones are bad. Some claim the Republic are intended to be the villains, due to their theoretical similarity to Fascism, although it may be argued that neither the Republic nor Fascism necessarily are evil, given that both feel they are doing the right thing on the whole, and that it is their duty to protect the people from their own incompetence. These same people largely tend to claim the New Conglomerate as the heroes, although this is also contestable, as the Conglomerate are also rabidly anti-everyone and they see no room for other beliefs aside from their own, and also because of the fact that, living in a Liberal Democracy, one might be pre-inclined to see the idea of liberty as paramount to other concerns anyway (this may explain the large number of NC players, as most PlanetSide subscribers live in the United States). Often it is a common claim that the Vanu are at least partial villains, due to their embrace of many technologies today seen as immoral, and their intentions to replace human beings with machines. This also may be contested on the grounds that morality judgments on issues of technology are largely relative to public understanding of that technology, and that currently, public understanding of such things as cloning, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and cybernetics is very much limited to the contents of the latest science fiction film. Ultimately, it may be argued that all sides make valid points in one form or another, however they are all too fanatical and one-sided in their beliefs to be taken seriously as points of political debate.
For example, the Republic makes a good point in acknowledging that most people, most of the time are pretty generally not as qualified to decide important issues of policy as well-educated, well-informed professional policy makers are, but they go on to overstretch this truism and use it as justification for a system which concentrates all decision making power into a handful of over-educated individuals who only know the world of books and rarely get to experience the direct consequences of their own decisions, and ignore the latter fact. By contrast, the New Conglomerate make a good point in that individual experience often suffices in matters of individual decision making, and that knowing ones own situation is generally a sufficient prerequisite to making healthy choices for ones self. It is, however, often ignored that what is good for one person's well-being is rarely good for the well-being of society, and allowing people to do what they want, when they want to often leads to autocracies and/or oligarchies in which the needs of the majority are subservient to the needs of the minority, and being brought up, the favoured theories are often hastily defended with claims such as that freedom is not truly freedom unless it is a total liberty. Finally, though the Vanu Sovereignty make many valid points about technology and the fact that man's greatest capacity has always been his ability to make his knowledge work for him through feats of engineered efficiency, they then leap head-first into the premature conclusion that the knowledge of how to re-engineer human beings into superior life forms is in fact the justification to do so on the sole basis that the new species will be, admittedly, far more efficient. In doing so, the fact is often neglected that many people would elect to remain simple humans and in fact, in game terms, this expresses itself in that a major war has already broken out on the basis that advanced, alien technology has destabilized a society and polarized the population largely in accordance to the distinction of those who have access to and make full use of said technology, and those who do not and would not in any case, respectively.
Naturally, it is simple to see why the debate continues, as it touches on many real and politically sensitive issues currently being discussed in world politics, and quite accurately so.

SOE and its CSRs are known for being over-reactive when banning players. While your story is biased, its not unlikely that you did anything that would normally be a bannable offense. But by signing the EULA, which can change at any moment, you sell your soul to SOE and agree that they can do anything they wish, including cancelling your account without rebate. There are many things like this that will not go on this page and that would take a real player and someone involved in the community to keep abreast of. This page, while biased, is less biased because it covers the game from a software standpoint and not from a player standpoint. Zanduar 19:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I've cleaned up the Vehicles section. I think it's far too long and should be trimmed. This isn't an ad for the game, after all.
We have a section for vehicles, but none for weapons or armor, two other things that make this game distinctive. We need to add those, but I hesitate to use the vehicles section as a model per my comments above.

If someone would go ahead and start an "Armor types in Planetside" article or somesuch, I'd be more than happy to offer my (embarassingly) considerable knowledge on MAXes. I'm not sure how to start a new article, or I'd do it myself. teh TK 18:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
In simply removing (rather than editing) pervious comments regarding recommended system specifications, Wrathchild-K has removed accurate information about appropriate recommended system requirements, and replace it with the old misleading information.
Rather than get into a tedious debate about it, users may wish to note that more useful system specifications should be considered as:
As was updated, the game uses in the region of 750+ MB while fully loaded (note that it loads progessively, on-demand), rather than in the region of 450+ MB as stated (making the minimum 2 GB, rather than 1.5 GB for reasons explained originally).
While this may seem a small issue, a lack of appreciation for actual technical requirements has been the source of consistant misunderstandings of 'stuttering' problems over the last two years in the Technical Support forum on the offical site (this is something users are extremely sensitive to, not least given it's FPS nature and that swapping to disk mid-battle is never fun).
I'd caution that anyone who tries to actually play the game with any the higher detail options turned on is in for a nasty surprise if they go by what's currently there (RAM and VRAM requirements aside, an older '2.0 Ghz' Intel CPU, for example is nowhere near sufficent for decent gameplay with a reasonably busy screen). —Preceding unsigned comment added by FridayUK ( talk • contribs)
The entire Vehicles/BFRs sections need to be moved to a new article, named "Vehicles of Planetside" or something similar. Also, if someone would be so kind as to start articles for Armor/MAXes and Infantry Weapons I'd be more than happy to contribute everything I know. I just don't have any images to add, but I can definitely flesh the info out. teh TK 18:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
The article in my opinion is far too long and would benefit if seperated into different pages. Also a reception part of the article should be required as most of the video game articles I've seen have one.

Here's some quotes from the scope guidelines.
Articles on computer and video games should give an encyclopedia overview of what the game is about, not a detailed description of how to play it or an excessive amount of non-encyclopedic trivia.
A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure: if the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it is unsuitable.
Lists of statistics, items, or other minutiae:
- The HP or weight class of a character is not important to the article; neither are all the swords available in the game.
- Articles about Xbox Live and Xbox Live Arcade games should not contain a list of their Achievements.
- Specific point values, time limits, character behaviors, etc. also fall into this category unless they are essential to understanding the game or its significance in the industry.
So there you have it. Why that information is not suitable for Wikipedia. Ong elvin 02:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

While I have no problem with any of the images, I feel a game that is primarily an FPS should have at least one picture of combat to illustrate what players normally experience during gameplay. Its also redundant to have two pictures of aircraft doing the same thing (fighters escorting transports, it appears). I'd put in a new picture myself, but I'm currently not a subscriber to PlanetSide. 129.49.7.125 ( talk) 15:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
What about PlanetSide 2?-- 24.240.186.162 ( talk) 04:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
In the Star Wars Galaxies wikipedia article there is a whole section for recpetion and criticism.
Since Planetside did so bad with the implemention of BFR's and the core combat expansion and the following large losses in subscribers from both camps (pro BFR and Anti BFR) in the process, it should also be included in the article.
There is always the question, why did a unique game (the only 3d-shooter with huge battles with hundreds of players) had such a sudden loss of subscribers, that they had to merge servers again and again.
What where the basic problems of the changes implemented in the game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.49.28.173 ( talk) 15:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I would like to see someone update the main page with new cheating/hacking information, the game currently is rampant with cheaters. Blatant, excessive rate of fire cheats and less obvious perhaps more rampant subtle cheats, numbers are impossible to give without data from SOE although linking to the multiple cheat sites and forums for reference is an option for whoever updates. This new breed of cheats has been an issue in game sometime shortly after the "new anti-hack measures" were introduced in 06 and have gotten steadily worse since then. This is not a opinion, not a single person who has played the game in the last three years would say this problem doesn't exist.
I think this is note worthy due to the PvP persistent gameplay Planetside has, Unlike other FPS where one can simply switch servers when cheaters are present or a server admin can ban suspected cheaters, players can not leave the one or two massive battles when cheaters are on. The entire game is affected by these cheaters and suffers from their presence. This is a serious issue for the future of this genre and should be addressed here and recorded. Never before has cheating in any game genre been such a deciding factor on its future.
As a regular Planetside player, I am amazed that there is no reference to the cheaters on this wiki page as they are unfortunately a very real part of the Planetside experience.
Im not the right one to write this, I love this game and hate the cheaters, I would also have an ulterior motive which would be to pressure SOE to fix this issue permanently. I don't feel I could remain impartial but i do feel this chapter in the MMOFPS genre should be recorded no matter what the future holds for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TORS32 ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
On the main page it continues to state that Planetside Next is due for a March, 2011 release. Clearly, this is not the case, but I do not want to just remove the information as it connects to two sources, whose links I wouldnt know how to re-integrate into a new paragraph (Im not the most clear writer.) Has there been any update to this situation, or any recanting of original claims by the devs? Any new information about the game's release would be much better than the current information, since its, well, impossible that it could be correct.

Why a real planet? there are fair use images that have been made available for promoting planetside that feature the logo. -RAKninja

It seems instead of reinstating the Reserves, they're offering a 14 day trial instead. 70.113.81.53 04:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Is there a reason that the box art image was deleted from this article? Other articles for video games all feature the game's box art in the infobox and they have a valid fair use rationale, so they have not been removed. I don't understand why the PlanetSide box art is any different than those. I believe that we should re-add the image. -- Credema ( talk) 18:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

While I have no problem with any of the images, I feel a game that is primarily an FPS should have at least one picture of combat to illustrate what players normally experience during gameplay. Its also redundant to have two pictures of aircraft doing the same thing (fighters escorting transports, it appears). I'd put in a new picture myself, but I'm currently not a subscriber to PlanetSide. 129.49.7.125 ( talk) 15:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
What about PlanetSide 2?-- 24.240.186.162 ( talk) 04:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
In the Star Wars Galaxies wikipedia article there is a whole section for recpetion and criticism.
Since Planetside did so bad with the implemention of BFR's and the core combat expansion and the following large losses in subscribers from both camps (pro BFR and Anti BFR) in the process, it should also be included in the article.
There is always the question, why did a unique game (the only 3d-shooter with huge battles with hundreds of players) had such a sudden loss of subscribers, that they had to merge servers again and again.
What where the basic problems of the changes implemented in the game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.49.28.173 ( talk) 15:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I would like to see someone update the main page with new cheating/hacking information, the game currently is rampant with cheaters. Blatant, excessive rate of fire cheats and less obvious perhaps more rampant subtle cheats, numbers are impossible to give without data from SOE although linking to the multiple cheat sites and forums for reference is an option for whoever updates. This new breed of cheats has been an issue in game sometime shortly after the "new anti-hack measures" were introduced in 06 and have gotten steadily worse since then. This is not a opinion, not a single person who has played the game in the last three years would say this problem doesn't exist.
I think this is note worthy due to the PvP persistent gameplay Planetside has, Unlike other FPS where one can simply switch servers when cheaters are present or a server admin can ban suspected cheaters, players can not leave the one or two massive battles when cheaters are on. The entire game is affected by these cheaters and suffers from their presence. This is a serious issue for the future of this genre and should be addressed here and recorded. Never before has cheating in any game genre been such a deciding factor on its future.
As a regular Planetside player, I am amazed that there is no reference to the cheaters on this wiki page as they are unfortunately a very real part of the Planetside experience.
Im not the right one to write this, I love this game and hate the cheaters, I would also have an ulterior motive which would be to pressure SOE to fix this issue permanently. I don't feel I could remain impartial but i do feel this chapter in the MMOFPS genre should be recorded no matter what the future holds for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TORS32 ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
On the main page it continues to state that Planetside Next is due for a March, 2011 release. Clearly, this is not the case, but I do not want to just remove the information as it connects to two sources, whose links I wouldnt know how to re-integrate into a new paragraph (Im not the most clear writer.) Has there been any update to this situation, or any recanting of original claims by the devs? Any new information about the game's release would be much better than the current information, since its, well, impossible that it could be correct.
