Planetside2 - Should I start playing...?

[Anomaly1964]

Or is it too far along that I will feel like a super newb for a while?

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Absolutely. It has a learning curve and will take a while to learn the game, but it's awesome and the scope is ground breaking. Imagine battles with potentially 100+ people on each side. Even 3-way battles.

Try Firefall, it's more pve based so you're not fighting against people with tons of experience or who spent cash.

Yes, it's the only viable MMOFPS and MMOFPS is the best FPS. Understand though they aren't very focused on balance and such though, and vehicles like Lightnings trade off huge amounts of armor and damage for not much speed and maneuverability.

try and play with a friend and/or try and make as many friends as possible. Best bet might be to try and join a decently sized/active outfit to help you through the early growing pains, going lone wolf early on is going to be pretty discouraging, even for the best players.

Am I the only one who thinks this game sux?

 

[Harrod]

It's a fun game, I find myself either playing as assault or as an infiltrator and trolling people with the cloak. There are always those people that get pissed of that you killed them and come looking for you. I killed one guy 6 times in a row before he gave up one time.

Nope, the engine is garbage. Controls are some of the most lacking in tactile response within the game I've ever seen for an FPS.

In terms of balance and combat quality it is not that great. In terms of scope and the size of battles, the varied terrain, it's epic.

For sure try it.

I play it at least once a week.

Even a noob can do well if you fight with your teammates. This is a war fps not a k to d ratio fps. Just pay attention to what your teammates are doing and fight with them and go for objectives. No need for outfits or even platoons to play this game.

Was not for me.
