There, I summed up Planetside 2, it was shortlived, but when it first came out in Beta when it was behind that Nvidia Code shit, it was some of the most amazing shit I have ever played.
It's still populated on PS4 since it's free even without PS+

It was fun with friends.
>easy as fuck to get one of those infinitely spawning giant troop carriers
>can't fly it worth shit so end up crashing into enemy bases
>spend the next 10 or so mins camping on the roof, sniping retard enemies that run out
But it had its fair share of problems, the main one I remember being unlocking new weapons/gear. For one, fighters were basically useless unless you had rockets, which didn't come as default and had to be bought either with real money or the in-game currency. I remember saving for fucking ages to buy a new gun that in the end wasn't even worth it.
Also the complete clusterfucks of base assaults, followed by literally nothing happening when you took over the map other than the screen changing colour.
Is it REALLY dead?
>>321516205
No.
>>321516205
the most ''popular'' servers have only medium population and the biggest battles are Battlefield 4 tier
>>321516310
Oh okay, I was about to reinstall it since my GF dumped me and I'm feeling like shit.
>>321516448
Good at least I'm not getting a shit ping

>I remember saving for fucking ages to buy a new gun that in the end wasn't even worth it.
this
In regular shooters you can get new weapons within minutes, in planetside it takes hours just for a 100 cert weapon before you learn how to farm certs.
Don't even get me started on stuff like new abilities.
>>321515903
this game could have been so good
but they kept tending to the reddit crybaby group constantly buffing weapons and adding crutches instead of making the game better
the game was dead to me when they just started adding smg after smg
>>321516448
>biggest battles are bf4 tier
>mfw I always end up fighting 80 enemies with a 10 man squad
>mfw the other 40 guys in the platoon airdrop in
Shit gets nuts during alerts
>>321516709
who are you playing if you're so outnumbered? Terrans?
>>321515903
My favourite time was at release. The Crown used to be a goddamn mega-fortress that had 48v48+ (more like 200) battles at all times, usually with all 3 factions involved.Now I'm sad.
I got like 1200 hours out of it, not bad.
>>321516564
They implemented a new cert system, way easier to get certs now than it used to be. You also get a 100 certs on level ups from 1 to 15. >>321516448
If you crave mayhem you should play during primetime, plenty of 96+ vs 96+ fights at that time.
Used to play it all the time, was part of a decent-sized TR outfit, gave up on it when it became obvious the new devs decided they weren't actually going to implement anything new or interesting.
I have some pretty fond memories of removing Vanu and watching them bitch in [Yell] about the TR being overpowered.
>>321516928
Crown during beta was the shit. I miss this game, wish that Sony didn't have to jew.
I still get a lot of gameplay out of it. You can trial shit in the real maps and use weapons/vehicle loadouts/cosmetics in the VR to see what they're like before you unlock them.
>>321516928
>Crashing an entire platoon of galaxy into the crown because you with
>with no survivors
lost
like tears in the rain
>>321516115
That's not true maybe at release kek
>>321519992
>because fuck you
god damn I'm hung over.
To anyone curious, aside from some low numbers during certain times, the game isn't dead on PC. To the grinding gun aspect, you can always trial a gun to see if it's alright. Best bet however is to max out med / engi gun or your class shields / abilities first before weaponry.
Weapons come later plus defaults are generally well-rounded or considered the best.
If still interested anons should check out /vg/ and read the pastebins. The game, while still very faulty, has it's moments.
>>321516564
All the unlocks are side grades, though
>>321520072
its free2play for everyone on ps4 so go play with some greasy pizza and wank over some anime pcfag u jus jell
https://u.pomf.io/mzoull.webm
Are you ready to build some WALLS?
>>321520708
Nobody will care about defending anything. And shit will just get blown up by lolpods.
>enjoy
>>321520562
I know i hav it on ps4 and it's fuckin dead maybe a christmas miracle can save it mr. Faggotry
>>321520708
wait you can build walls now?
>>321520708
letting the enemy take the base and then retake it is more profitable than defending them because devs are retarded and don't reward defense properly
so no I'm not ready
>>321521005
it is dead yeah but im just stating its free for everyone you sket
>>321521102
You said it was populated nigga
>>321521194
nope, not me, never said it was populated
waiting for that 2.0 jesus patch
>>321520708
Should have instead posted the associated vehicle that looks like a tiberium harvester as falseflag command_and_conquer_2016.webm to fuck with people.
>>321515903
3k hours in still having fun you must be a shitter op
>>321521305
And i never said it wasn't free
>died in a month after relase
Retard.
Reinstalled it today and it turns out Woodman (EU) is gone and my characters are now on a faggy merged server.
Also turns out the game doesn't handle 2560x1440 resolutions very well as it can't scale UI elements properly and everything is tiny and unreadable, in particularly the icons on the (enlarged) mini-map.
Also turns out it has issues at 144Hz when it comes to animating particle effects.
Also turns out there's now a "get revenge" button when you die to someone and you can spend real cash to press it - no idea what it does though but I hope they didn't turn full p2w and it insta-kills the dude who killed you.
I somehow think I'm going to regret giving it another go. Did SOE ever fix the awful netcode?
>>321521694
>"get revenge" button
it places a more obnoxious spotted marker on the one who recives it, gives him more xp for killing dudes while also giving extra xp to the one that kills him. a brilliant move of monetized butthurt on DBGs part.
there's also a bountyhunter directive which ultimately revards you with another NS-15 LMG upon completion
>>321521694
Do any devs ever fix that? And it's Daybreak now not SOE.
>>321515903
Finished installing it yesterday
No x32 compatibility if downloaded via steam, not even the x86 files to rename.
Never ever again
>>321521326
I know it's briggs but I don't know any of those namesonly shitters left anyway~
>>321521956
>x32
but why?
>>321516928
>My favourite time was at release
No fuck you. That was the worst time in PS2, because it was chokefull of bugs, shitty performance and fucking OP aircraft bullshit.
>>321521945
BF4 fixed it by upping the tick rate and adjusting the prediction. I thought now that PS2 is half dead they could do the same as the servers have resources available but perhaps I blissfully forgot how SOE just managed to ruin their games over time instead of improving them.I'm still mad about SWG.
Lol v is full of shit taste regards this game is amazing
>>321522187
I have played 64 games. But ps2 just wouldnt start. Tried to fix it for hours while steam was kill yesterday and everything pointed to compatibility problems.
Couldnt even use the renaming fix.
Clicked play on launcher, black screen then game closed then launcher closed
>>321521009
Soon enough
