Planetside: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Why jmu would use his review space to bash Prima is beyond me. Here's a clue: Planetside is persistent, on-line world. Books are permanently printed on paper. Of course they're not going to put hit points and other hard numbers about weapons, armor types etc. BECAUSE THEY CHANGE. They've changed already and the game has only been out a month. As the developers see fit, weapons change, vehicles are added, base attributes change, objectives are modified, etc. To put it all down in a book, print that book, and then have to change that book every time the devs come up with an update is simply cost prohibitive. If you really want to know about hard numbers, check the website . . . OFTEN.
