Planetside for Free

Submitted by rapture on Mon, 01/23/2006 - 4:10pm.

Planetside (a massively multiplayer FPS for PC) is going to be free for a year.

Imagine playing HALO with hundreds of people around you in the same map. Target practice all over the place!

Check out the news from /.

\"Eurogamer reports that Sony Online is moving Planetside to a free play for a year deal, somewhat similar to the Anarchy Online pricing scheme. From the article: \"Access to the massively multiplayer FPS will be limited in terms of BattleRank and CommandRank. \'Essentially, new players will be able to have access to any part of the game but they will be limited on the diversity of their arsenal,\' said developer Enrico Pallazzo in a recent forum post outlining various new additions to the game.\" Limited free play in an environment with ads. I guess I\'m glad they\'re trying new options.\"

Wow, an FPS Halo MMO... Sweeeet. But that game sounds interesting, too. A free year is a twisted way to lure gamers into a monthly pay scheme. Clever bastards, all of them.
