Planetside Arena, the next big battle royale based game?
Well if it’s not, it should be the biggest allocated number of players per game or session so far.
Hi guys and welcome to another beautiful day from the director of H1Z1 comes Planetside Arena, the team has been known to develop series of crazy and fun games and while others might consider some of their previous game not up to standard or not seeing daylight as when compared to other games via their genre, the team don’t plan to stop anytime soon and Planetside Arena sure is looking good, also promises to bring certain features or even increase the game mode and playability battle royale based game now offer and am wondering if truly they can pull it off.
Considering previous games before now, looking at H1Z1 which was/is a battle royale based game says little and not much about them, I did a review about the game a while back and what actually made me delete and lost interest in the game was the ping limitations, I know ping one of the crucial aspect as relates to gaming especially gaming, when your ping is too high, it makes gaming no longer fair play system as it leads to lag and properly making you cost you and your team match, but then, you shouldn’t expect every user to have within a particular ping mode and when you set the expectation there, it becomes nearly if not impossible for such a set of users to play your game.
This was what I faced when tried to play the game H1Z1 then, I was stuck in training mode and couldn’t advance any further due to my ping not reaching the requirements to start the game, well the game sure did look fun then, but you can only attest to a game if it meets your needs or not after you must have played it not just watching from other users gameplay.
That been said, really wished I was able to play the game back then.
Planetside Arena promises to bring something new to battle royale based game and I just hope that, if after release, same ping limitations won’t be placed on the game as they once did on H1Z1.
Ever played a game of say 500 users in a session?
Well that’s one of the feature Planetside Arena is bringing, players would be able to play in a team of two with each side has up to 250 players making the game mode a total of 500 players per session, this should be the highest allowed player have seen per session and they even went further to say, the game will be able to accommodate up to a 1000 players without any glitch or lag and I must say that’s something new am yet to see any other battle royale base game do, even other game genres don’t have up to that numbers.
Although Fortnite did get a number somewhat like that, but not up to the 500 players Planetside Arena will be coming with.
Looking at the number, all I can think of, is the queue and waiting period, we see other games having 20 players per session having a hard time filling up when it comes to queue and most times, players are even replaced with bots to fasten the game and waiting period, thinking of bots, wonder if same will be applied here or they plan to actually have 500 players, well whatever they choose to follow, we just have to hope the game will deliver or come in a playable state.
Players will also have the option to play in a solo mode or in a team of three, we seen duo and squad of four but three, that’s the first.
They probably taking different steps to differentiate them from the regular battle royale mode that has been provided to us thus far and I must say, its somewhat cool and they would surely stand out, the little you do is what differentiate you from the others.
The little extra in extra-ordinary is what differentiates it from ordinary.
The game will also come with different character class, we seen different characters been used in co-op pvp mode but in battle royale based, it’s not usually that common, cause they usually expect each player to come with same equipment’s, be it gun, grenades and what have you, creating a fair game system between players, but I can only think, this character class would probably give certain players higher hand, but then players will be able to make their own choice.
Characters are
Medic
Engineer
Assault.
Probably the reason they went for a team of three, not duo or four.
Looking at the different class, they probably will come with same jetpack to propel them up but in terms of ability and equips, they probably would pack different damage capability and also have special and unique equipment that would allow them to achieve certain things another class cant, if you look at game Warface, it comes with four different class and even though their vex and Hp are usually the same, they come with different equipment’s, sniper, medic, rifleman and engineer.
Each has their own gun type and also came with unique abilities which include long-range kill, ammunition supply, repairing of damaged armor and even reviving of players.
One can only think, the game Planetside Arena would probably have same class do the above or somewhat similar to what Warface already offers.
Alongside the above, players will be able to make purchase of guns in-game with the money they earned while gaming, thereby increasing your chances of getting better equip if you are able to make more i-game money when compared to others.
The game is said to be available next month, that is January 2019 and the anticipation is quite high, we can only hope the game delivers part or all of what they currently are been shown to the community.
