Basically it's a huge FPS with vehicles and stuff only you can get into huge 100+ vs 100+ battles in an endless war and you get to shoot a whole lot of lasers and laser bullets from your guns and it's really sweet.

idiot asshole bitch who should fuck off
I played it a bit back, but the progression seemed to assume that you played 20 hours a week and/or paid $$$, so, I stopped playing.

also I vaguely remember vehicle balance being a shitshow

it got a lot better, infantry got some better tools to handle vehicles, and there are a lot more heavy assault players than there used to be

i'll admit it is tough starting out without dropping at least a bit of dosh just so you can fool around with different weapons and see what you enjoy playing

'fraid so

Planetside 2 has been getting a lot of good updates recently though because they're being thrown a lot of development money for the upcoming PS4 release.

I mainly play Vanu but sometimes I hung for my Razor GD-23 on NC or my Mercy MAX on TR. I'm pretty much just playing on Emerald.

Oh, I dunno. I've just been getting back into it recently and I'm surprised how much the game has improved since, I kinda thought it was dead in the water but I guess the PS4 saved it.

hmm... battlefield doesn't have laser cannons, so I think you might need to fact check your claims.

game is pretty cool. i picked it back up again somewhat recently and got a character to around BR50. the new continent is absolutely fantastic to the point that they may as well delete the other 3 because they dont even come close

i was mostly playing it with a few buddies so we'd hop in tanks together a lot, and i think my favorite part of that game is sneaking up on a big enemy tank column and blowing every single one of their oblivious asses up one by one. i've gotten my fill for now but im looking forward to seeing what they do with the game in the future since it seems like they update it quite regularly

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
I remember this game being pretty fun. If I were going to go back to some kind of FPS this would probably be it. Something about the huge map and large number of objectives.

Large number of objectives AKA stand on that cap point and be bored as gently caress soldier!

i play this with my best friend he is infantry and i am his medic, and we hop on 4x4s and zoom way behind enemy lines and start annoying them by beginning a capture, or overloading something, then quickly getting back on the 4x4 and going to another sector.

chaos bros confusing the enemy.

one session we did actually take a sector and it said our squad owned it and it was just the two of us and that felt pretty badass.

this is a good game
