Planet Side 1 is going free to play this April!
Spoiler:
Planet Side one is turning 11 years old, right up there with battlefield 1942(12 years old)! The game was said to go free to play back in July of 2013 as Planet Side 2 was released but that never happened. How ever it has now been confirmed that the game will go free to play this April 2nd. SOE has also changed their all access program. The price has now dropped to $14.99($15) plus 500SC, SC(Station Cash) is the micro-transaction currency found in all SOE free2play games. Planet Side 1 features almost all of the features found in Planet Side 2 menus some vehicles and graphics. Planet Side 1 does have a lot of features that it's sequel doesn't like more vehicles, more map concepts, mechs, and other stuff. If you can get over the dated graphics then you will have a great time in the game. The game will also have no micro-transactions. The videos below show you a bit of the features found in Planet Side 1:
PC gamer wrote:Sony Online Entertainment has announced that it will be ending support for four ongoing MMORPGs: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Free Realms, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and Wizardry Online. Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures servers will shut down on March 31, while Vanguard and Wizardry servers will stop on July 31.
Overall I was not expecting this. While wizardly and vangaurd are not the best games and have been dieing since they went free to play, free realms and clone wars have been doing good. I played both of them when I was new to PC gaming. They are great casual games for people young to the genre and I thought the gameplay was fun. Being able to change your own class and do anything in free realms made it lots of fun. It felt like you could do anything in that game. Star wars wasn't as exciting to em as I turned 9 when it was released so I was out of that phase but I still thought it was fun being a jedi and all, til they asked for money. It is sad to see them go but maybe now they will make better games for a bigger audience. http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/01/24/soe-a ... of-heroes/

The second picture looks like Star Wars - stormtrooper + that robot, only lightsabers are missing. Heard that this game was copied from CoD and other critics. I didn't play it myself so I can't judge it.

That is star wars. Also when you said PS1 copied CoD you must be thinking of ps2.

Actually it's 9, but still, since I got a pretty good computer I could run either one, and I was just saying I'd rather play PS2.
