    Re: Planetside 2

    Downloading it now, can't wait to try it out.

    I see a few OSers have already played it looking at my recent activities feed.

    Curious as to what others think so far.

    Edit: this looks like it may help...

      Ok, there seems to be another update (2.5gb) to install today. Once your in you create your member name, pick your gender, then pick one of 3 factions (picked Terrain Republic) you are then put into a new member continent to try and capture a lab. There's vehicles available for use. Those familiar with MMO type FPS games should fit right-in.

      Graphics are nowhere near Dynasty but decent enough. I need lots of practice LOL.....

        I have toyed around for a few hours. I had fun for sure. The patch seemed to improve stability quite a bit

          Hey all. 2 questions, my power has been out all week and just tried to play PS2.

          Edit: I'm in now.

          It made me download Planetside 2, and update for Planetside 2 and Planetside 2 Closed Beta... Does this sound right? I never played the beta. Only asking because I don't want unnecessary stuff taking precious space on my HD.TIA

            Got up to level 9 my first night. Got on last night and my character was lost. A little irritating. Got back up to level 7, almost 8 though. The game is definitely fun. I only tried it for a little bit on PC, but on PS4 I am enjoying it, but the PS4 does struggle to run the game at times. For now I may stick with the PS4 version despite my PC being able to run it a whole lot smoother because I'm just having fun again having a shooter on my console.

              Having never played a Planetside game I was overwhelmed at first but I'm slowing getting the hang of things. I've just been a medic so far but will try the other classes as I get comfortable with the mechanics of the game. I do appreciate it's scope as it makes you feel small but at the same time makes you feel like you're still contributing. Overall I've had fun with it & will continue to play. Finally figured out how to throw a grenade R1 & L1 at the same time. The struggles of a Planetside noob

                I'm in the same boat.

                Do you guys change the sensitivity? I feel like it's playing "loose" for me right now on default as far as aiming

                    So.....just to make sure I'm not a total idiot....the point of the game is to try and take over the whole map right?

                      Heard from a friend, the faction with the most territory in a month gets a xp boost. Seems your supposed to take control of the whole map and keep it.

                      The game is a lot of fun, just that the option to play with friends is a bit tough to do and doesn't work all the time.

                        Yea the system is clunky to get into a squad with your friends and being in a squad needs a better hud system.

                          I'd be surprised if the don't continue to optimize and improve the game on PS4. Blacklight plays way better now than it first did on ps4.

                          I can see myself sinking real time into this game.

                            I remember on the PC, there were different perks to controlling the different continents (one continent gave a discount on vehicle purchases, another gave a discount on infantry weapon purchases, etc). I wondered if those perks carried over into the PS4 version.

                            I have enjoyed getting re-acclimated to the Planetside fighting system again. I still wished more people would communicate more. I have yet to be in a squad that spoke with each other. Not to mention, are there any outfits or platoons in this game? That was always one of my favorite features of the PC version.

                              Outfits aren't in yet. Daybreak is hoping to get them in with the July 6th patch. Also did you set your chat channel to squad? People have been talking in mine (Mostly bickering) until I shut off voice chat as that apparently improves FPS significantly.

                                I didn't change my chat channel (didn't know that was possible). I'll have to look into that.
