After playing my free 7day trial of planetside..

I find PS to be a very well-executed game at most times, but yes, the lack of a ride can become quite frustrating at times. I don't really have a problem with this, as I usually manage to find myself a ride, or I just HART into the heat of battle. The only real problem I have with the game is the lag. It really gets to my system while everything "matters", which usually means I die in battle versus the easiest of opponents at times due to freeze times of 40+ seconds or so.

Besides, I'd have to say the best part of the game is when you have a friend playing it right next to you. There's nothing like doing a successful liberator or vanguard run and surviving the whole process.
