Thought I'd share this little gem I've been playing for almost a year now.

What the heck is it?
Planetside 2 is a MMOFPS. Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter. AND IT IS INDEED MASSIVE. It's a game where hundreds of players slugging it out is not only a common sight, but pretty much the norm. And with that number of guns shooting at once, you can die anywhere, anytime, and at any angle. No matter how good your situational awareness and twitch shooting skills are.

Imagine Battlefield... but:
- With about 2-3 times the number of players in a single area.
- No destructible terrain.
- With 3 somewhat unique teams. The evil red team (TR), Space 'murica (NC), and the purple aliens (VS).
- Large open map and no lobbies.

Gameplay (Pretty outdated, but this is the kinds of things you would normally see and join in.):

Some cool fanmade trailers:

Best part is that it's 100% freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Cosmetics and helmets can only be bought though. But that's purely aesthetic.)
If you have concerns, ask around on their reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/
It's a pretty cool community.

I main VS on the Briggs server, BR/Lvl 74. Anyone else here also play?

I don't bu the limiting factor for me not playing is shitty internet, and a not so great laptop.

The game is good, problem is when a big wave of new players join in... and all go to the vanu, it ends up being SC2 style of zerg vs terran xD

( lots of shitty units vs good units )

That sounds like a farm. My rocketpods are ready.
Though it rarely happens on Briggs nowadays.

Youd think that its free farm, but what ends up happening is this gigantic swell of vanu, it becomes a 3v2 ( with 3 being the vanu, and 2 being the terran republic and the... new... something, i haven't played in awhile ) and to be fair, only the pesky TR mosquitos can use the rocketpods properly...
