So much hate for FilePlanet... Bandwidth isn't free. But a FilePlanet account is, they just make you wait in line and watch some ads, to pay for the bandwidth you are about to use. Or, you can skip the line and ads by paying for the bandwidth directly with a premium account.

I have to redact my earlier statements...the FilePlanet download manager actually worked on my crap connection, and very well.

I've been an FP subscriber for 8 years, and they've never given me shoddy service or cause for complaint once. If we're going to do the 'Internet Hate' thing, can we please re-driect some of it to RapidShite? Thnx.

Huh, sure doesn't seem MMO, queue for an N-player match. How is this game an MMO?

Mashing up FPS and RTS is kinda cool (although I liked Battlezone best.)

Exactly Lemmo.

Also, you're paying for Fileplanet's dedicated servers, delivering Max speed downloads, pretty close to whenever you wish. I download around 650k/s from Fp and thats about as fast as my Cable goes at this point lol.

Instead of Bottlenecking and downloading at 75k/s from an Aion server, which doesn't exist btw, I'd STILL pick FP over that garbage.

I think most of the flaming comes from kids who can't talk their mom into giving them $7 and access to their credit card for FP.

Oh, I'm sorry, its the "Moral highground" they stand on, "OPEN BETA = FREE!!"

Well. Open =/= Free. NC Soft isn't making bank off of you paying FP. FP is getting paid for a server. Quid Pro Quo. Something for something no?

This is How_Life_Works. Grats! Now..Flame me and rank me down! :P

Not sure what all the fuss is about. I was just glad to actually get into an open beta for once. This game is epic. Downloaded through FilePlanet no issues--didn't even have to be a subscriber.

The premise of this game:

The game is very Starship-Troopers in design. Humans versus giant insects.

If you choose the Human side then you play it like an FPS.
If you choose the Bug side you play it as an RTS.

As a human I was shooting insects unloading entire clips into ONE without it dying. And HUNDREDS were coming. My teammates seemed to be doing much better so maybe that is the levelling side of it. I noticed many of them were not level 1 like me.

An interesting game but more of an Unreal Tournament or Battlefield 2042 feel, not an MMORPG.
