Six months later, Sony Online has released an expansion pack, Core Combat, which adds new cavern areas, new weapons, new vehicles, and a new game objective-that consists of capturing modules from the caverns that can grant special bonuses to your faction.

So, if everyone else screwed around, you were doomed to lose. Unfortunately, it was compromised by technical problems and by a complete dependence on other players' performance. PlanetSide's initial design was ambitious, and, at launch, it offered a uniquely enjoyable experience. Additionally, you can gain certifications in driving different vehicles.

The game lets you play as a futuristic soldier in one of three factions, duking it out for temporary control of five major continents by gaining "certifications" to carry different weapons and items. EverQuest creator Sony Online Entertainment released its massively multiplayer shooter PlanetSide earlier this year.
