Epic game. I remember a few months ago being in a massive tank column of about 30 tanks firing simultaneously. It was a thing of beauty, its a pity I suck at the game though.

Need4Game3908d ago (Edited 3908d ago )

then again many delve into the world simply to appreciate its beauty. Camping is what I do most of time there. xD

ThanatosDMC3907d ago

Wtf? You can set up tents? I usually snipe and cloak inside the enemy base with proximity mines.

HammadTheBeast3908d ago

I was in this massive epic night battle. Too bad my computer could only push out 5 FPS lol.

jukins3907d ago

same here. I was going through the tutorial and it ran pretty good but as soon as I got into the open world it was chug chug chug. So glad its coming to ps4 game seems like it could be fun.

Planetside 2 is great, but I want a Warhawk MMO. YES PLEASE.

Stopped playing PS2 cause I prefer Firefall!!!

PS2 is fun but the total lag in proper udates and patches due to Devs working PS4 version drove me to play Firefall Exclusively when I had limited game time due to Arma 3 release.

FragMnTagM3907d ago

what lag? I have been playing Planetside 2 for a long time now, and have only had a couple problems none of them being lag.

Did you pick a server that is closest to you?

This game is amazing and it deserves way more attention than what it receives.

I love rolling 40+ deep with tanks trucks and transport, it gets pretty intense.

I really like the game, it CAN be epic at times, but there needs to be more to "Gain or Earn", in terms of a long term battle.

I'm sure with more continents comes continent locking, which will fix the issue kind of, but there still needs to be more.

EX: Let me earn parts by playing, to build my own Base, along with other members of my squad/platoon/faction in order to create new permanent bases.

This would give you motivation to want to play " just one more"

It will be interesting to see if this game (plus Warframe) takes off running on the PS4, seeing how it's free for anyone who wants to download it. PS4 definitely has the leg up with f2p games and it'll be interesting to see if that benefits them in the long run.

ThanatosDMC3907d ago

Old MAG clans are readying up for it. Some are all ready established as outfits on the PC. Too bad everybody has varying computer specs so they cant get the most out of their skills. Hopefully, the PS4 version will iron out all the messy needs for a better computer/driver/OS cleanliness, etc.

jeffgoldwin3907d ago (Edited 3907d ago )

You mean PC has a leg up on f2p games. Been playing Warframe and Planetside now for several months. Very solid games, and for free. You just cant beat that price.

AllroundGamer3907d ago

Played it for about 6 months then i had enough of all the bugs that weren't fixed and missing objectives, which made it a very dull game after some time.

first1NFANTRY3907d ago

With the ps4 inbound it's only gonna grow bigger. Can't wait to play this gem.

They sold the entire company. I did like when they ran Everquest as well. But numbers were declining unfortunately

Watch it turn out to be Amazon in disguise

Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
