    spacy game with huge battles

    this is fun game if u want to spend hours fight other players with sci-fi weapons and vehicles on another world. the battles are HUGE, 1 battle can have up to 1000 players in it, there are no Ai, or NPCs only players.

    the TR are basically the Empire, if you think like that, the NC are the Rebels, the Vanu are guys/girls in super tight purple spandex suits. needless to say i do not play vanu, i played TR once, got to lvl 12, i play NC i like them more.

    all factions have the same gunship *Liberator*, light tank *lightning*, Mobil spawn point *Sunderer*, giant airplane thingy which carrys lots of players *Galaxy*, buggy *harasser*, a four wheeler which can get a gun mounted on it *Flash*, and a Valkyrie which its like a kind of drop ship thing i dont know i never use it.

    the factions each have their own specific Heavy Tank, or MBT, though the NC's main battle tank is really more like a heavy tank, its big, its slow, its got a Fat gun, named the Vanguard. the TR have a faster MBT with 2 guns its name is Prowler, it can lock into the ground. the vanu have a hover tank which has its gun mounted on the front of the tank so you cant drive forward and shoot off to your left or right, you have to face the enemy to shoot them its named Magrider.

    or you can just look at them here http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles

    the game simply destroy time, you start playing at say 5:30pm the next you look at the clock hours will have passed, it could vary well be 4:00am. Don't Forget To Eat!

    i been playing since Beta, i played the beta was fun then, and its still fun now. you can give you vehicles guns and characters camo which dosent actually do anything like hide you, it just looks cool, the player pop is split 50/50, 50% don't use camo, the other 50% do use it. any player can kill any other player, its not a Pay to Win game, a good skilled player at lvl 1 can kill a lvl 100, whether or not he is skilled. it dosent matter, the only difference will be he probably has more things unlocked like guns/upgrades, titles vehicle upgrades / weapons. but you can still kill him. you can outplay anybody, out think them if VR comes out it should come to this game.

    the games Minimum graphics requirements aren't entirely true, you can play the game with less, you wont see everything people with better computers see, but you can still kill them. so you got that going for you, which is nice.

      Certainly the best multiplayer FPS out there currently. 0

      Great gun play, massive continents to explore, and tactical play between outfits and squads, this game delivers an amazing experience as an FPS. The depth is tremendous, and best yet it is FPS. Also, the developers have some of the best community outreach I have ever seen in a game. Well worth your time to give a try. ...

      "It is impossible to make an anti-war film" 0

      "Francois Truffaut said it is impossible to make an anti-war film, because films tend to make war look exciting." - Roger EbertPlanetside 2 does not aspire to be some grand statement about the futility of war. Yet this is exactly what it accomplishes.Upon starting the game, you’ll be treated to an exciting if rather passe FMV sequence of people being shot to bombastic music, to acclimatise you to the kind of heroic skill you might display playing Planetside, I suppose. However, the reality of Pl...
