And for those who don't know what PS is. PS is a MMOFPS released in 2003 and loved by many, now you have change to try this game free. However you can't "max" level your free account character, but you can still level half way up, you should still be able to play effective against "maxed" guys, so you won't get totally pwned by level difference. Besides there will be a lot free trial players...

Fuck that.

Just curious - if I already own a copy of the game, is there any way this can benefit me?

the benefit is that it has no fees....?

anyway, for those of us that DON'T own a copy, it's a 2 gig download, if not for that, I'd probably try it out

It only takes 15 months to download.

I didn't even check how big the ghey file was. I hate to download this big files...and even more I hate to see how much the game sucks after that.

But theres still hope, we will not fail......

It's a fun game. When they released those trials, I played it and it's REALLY hard when you have no idea what your doing. It WILL lag if you have a crappy connection. I barely lag on any of the games I play, but on PS, you do indeed get big spikes (least for me).

The worst is the aerial though. I always suck whenever a plane, heli, etc. comes by.

Squads are kickass though. I played for about a week, b/c that was the trial, so I don't know what all there was to it. But it's hard to kill at first, but on day 6 out of 7, I knew enough to actually start killing people. Still sucked, but still.

If yall would download it, I'd play it with ya and we can own.

I would download it, but 2 gigs = 2 days of downloading, literally.

Stealth · Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 2:15 pm Post subject:

Meh, it's not that long. I got it overnight. :/

Edit: Anyone get it? For some reason it tells me it wants a CD Key...

You can't log on their forums and ask them, b/c it says you need to be a subscriber and a Fan club member... WTF?

Double post for emphasis!

I just found out what the problem was on me own. If you have a previous version of the client, you simply can't have it installed. I previously played SWG, which I still had on my computer. It uses the same client as the one I just downloaded. But, my older client doesn't have the new features enabled and it will not download it to that client.

If you had the client in the past, you have two options.

A. You can either download the client like I did and uninstall any other clients if they are still installed.

Or

B. You can wait until next week. I browsed the forums and from the looks of it, they are going to enable the clients to be able to use the free activation.

On a lighter note, they are debating on raising the limits of BR6 to either BR8 or BR10
