@ All Those Wanting To Play PS2

Planetside 2 has and always will be my favourite game.



Before i continue:

Planetside 2 is THE only game i have ever seen to be an Open World FPS where there are constatly battles in locations all over the map !



I have logged thousands of hours in it since its release in 2012 ! the game is Fun and Content rich but is grindy after the first 30 levels because from lvl 1 -30 you are basicly given a loads of certs to poor into your favourite classes and guns but ** Spend Them Wisely ** as afterwards the game does become a grind and that feeling of earning certs turns from love to hate.

It is this which may turn you off which is why i said that it is wise to do your research before spending the certs you earn.



From lvl 1- 30 you earn roughly 3000 certs which can be used to buy weapons and upgrade classes. I would strongly urge you to use the VR teraining area to test things out before purchasing ** Cert Purchases are NON-Refundable ! **



but enough about this and more about the game :)



The game had a rough start while owned by SOE but is making a slow but very prommissing return to fame. Now owned by DayBreak games the game is getting more content than ever before and the content isnt stopping anytime soon !



Many people would say that it is dead BUT it is far from it ! i have seen more new players in the past months than i have ever seen and it is a clear sign that it is still not dead. It isnt only that but it is also the fact that there are still huge battles of over 200+ players at just one location which often is the same at many other bases.



The game is a First Person Shooter a Flying Simulator AND a Tank Simulater. All happening in a Massive open world with thousands of players at peek time.



To cover the issue and ranting about " Poor Optimisation ". The battles are HUGE and arn't like your small game battles like in Battlefield which only have 30 players in a match This game has over 1000-2000 players flying, driving and shooting around in a massive open world which is roughly the same size as the Just Cause map! ( Give Or Take )

True the game doesnt have the best optimisation but they are trying. they often make leaps and bounds but then stumble BUT in the end they always try to optimise the game to work on slower PC's.



But it is important to note that at this current stage im getting constant 80 FPS on ultra even in battles where there are 200+ people.

( i7-7700 GTX 1070 ) a PC like an i3 with a 1050 on medium should easily get 60FPS constant !



So to sum it up. The game is definatly worth the try !



If this post helped to make your decision easyer i am glad to have posted my thoughts and opinions on the game :)



I hope to see you all on Auraxis !
