Hey, AT, (and anybody else) if you like FPS games you should check out Planetside. It isnt the greatest graphics in the world, but it is online and it is really fun. It is a sort of MMO/FPS hybrid. It has huge areas (and i mean really huge) with dynamic battle lines and objectives constantly switching hands.

Yes, it is a MMO which means a monthly bill, however, you dont actually have to pay. They have a program called Planetside Reserves. This allows you to play up to a limited level but costs nothing. I strongly recommend that you check it out. The client is a free download as well.

JA - I had at one time considered playing PS, since it was created by some of the same guys who created TRIBES, but the $$ pay to play aspect turned me off.

My blazing fast internet. Kind of wish it could be an 8 megabit connection instead, though.

But you can play for free now. Play it!!!
