if you want to enjoy this game to it's fullest, you need to play it using a flight stick. I use a cheap logitech 3d which I got for about $22 on amazon, and It adds a whole new experience to the game, the flight stick will make flying so much more fun.
I hear alot of people complaining about the controls, but I am not one of them, especially after playing this game with the flight stick

I just finished my first playthrough, and then realized that there was an entirely different way I could have played this, resulting in a different ending. now I have a sense of curiosity as to what will happen if I go back to my early saves and see what happens. that is something you want in an rpg that responds to your actions. props!

in 2017, five years after this game was released, it is still as great as ever, and it works perfectly on my pc at low settings, resulting in 60 fps. great buy.

It is a basic 5v5 on dust 2. good stuff when you have a good team, bad stuff if you have a bad team, would suggest freinding those who are fun to play with, and then playing with them in future teams. I have met a couple of longtime freinds on this game, and that is good enough for me to give the thumbs up.

Planetside 2 is one of very few games that can make you feel significant yet insignificant. where a team of 12 people can change the tide of a battle in which 200+ players are fighting.

but if you choose to go with the flow of fighting, you may be discouraged by spawn campers and the like. i suggest before you hit instant action "the i want a fight button" join up with a squad or a platoon and see for yourself the actual real-time strategy that is in this game under the surface.


most people will look at this game and see it as a meat-grinder, they are half correct. if you CHOOSE to be in a meat grinder fight, you will be meat grinded. However, if you CHOOSE to go with strategy and stealth and flanking the enemy, you will have a lot of fun.


for new players i would suggest playing either engineer or infiltrator with stalker cloak. if you want to fight in vehichles pick engineer, if you want to observe how battles work and act within the game without being shot, pick infiltrator with stalker cloak.

one more thing, please use a microphone when you get this game, you need to be able to communicate with other players in your squad, platoon, or just your fellow faction members in a specific fight i.e "guard this door guys i'll watch your back"


ALSO YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN BASES AND DEFEND THEM. YOU CAN ALSO ATTACK ENEMY PLAYERMADE BASES. AMAZING!!!
