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.
It really doesn't thrill me. I have a hard time seeing the point to many of these MMOFPS games. If you're fighting over the same bases over and over then what makes it different than a regular online shooter?
What makes it different is that there is never a 'round over' where everything resets. That's a very basic description. Very complex battles with push and pull over territory can happen over the course of hours. A simple coordination of tanks with everyone on Teamspeak can turn the tide.
It's going to take a lot more than, what looks to be, generic space marine combat to pull me away from Firefall. I'm heavily swayed by the Tribes influence, but disregarding that, what draws will Planetside 2 have to win over WoW/Guild Wars 2 players. I don't want to play 4 MMO's, regardless of combat type. GW2 + Firefall for me until I see something convincing.
They are? Please tell me what other ones there are. Planetside and Huxley are the only ones that spring to mind. As we know Huxley never came out.. so what are these other dozen MMOFPS games?
