PlanetSide 2 is the sequel to the 2003 MMOFPS PlanetSide from Sony Online Entertainment which remains one of the most notable and successful games in the genre.
This game really suffers from the problem of all the beta players already knowing how to stomp new people. No interest at this point after trying it.
I never played in the beta and I'm doing fine. I think the biggest issue is that the combat classes/vehicles really need a lot of certs to get going.
If you stick to support, medic/engineer, you can get tons of points from healing, reviving, repairing and handing out ammo. It really does help the team out. Plus the guns and occasional grenade do kill people, but I try to avoid head on fights (because I'll probably lose). I think this is the best way for new players to get into the game, unfortunately Planetside 2 does nothing to tell you this.
My biggest gripe is that 5-6 gunships can roll in and just completely destroy everyone with their cannons, meanwhile any anti-air costs like 1000 certs to buy (I've been playing 2 days and have 250). Absolutely nothing I can do about that, so I just leave or log off. It sucks.
Cant speak for Vanu, but I made a NC after playing TR for the entire beta, the NC guns are MUCH more satisfying to shoot, the unquantifiable fps "feel" is better with their guns in my opinon.
Also im playing on Matheson right now if anyone cares =]
Are there any GB focused outfits? I would prefer to roll with the New Conglomerate on Jaegar, but more importantly I just want to be part of a large outfit and get shit done. I like having orders and carrying them out. The GB community needs to be more organized about this game! Everyone seems scattered and doesn't seem like there is enough being done to rally everyone together.
Work together people! GB is the only "large" community I care to be involved with!
