I never see many talk about planetside 2, so i thought i’d make an account and ask if there are any planetside 2 players out there on lemmy. What faction do you play? whats your favorite class? Vehicle? What do you enjoy most about the game?

I’m also looking for people to play with possibly. But im mostly curious what other linux users play in planetside 2.

    I’d love to see a modern mmofps, I can’t think of anything coming close to Planetside on that front.

    That said, I mostly did TR flash zergs when running solo, and VS C4 fairies when my friends were online.

    We all kinda dropped the game after the Combined Arms Initiative was rolled out and removed the need for vehicles, as heavies were stronger than MAXes and could solo pretty much all armor without breaking a sweat, and we could break up a hours-long tank line stalement using a sunderer and 3 Archer-equipped engineers. (Multiple tanks and some infantry peeled off to stop us, but we could kill pretty much anything with 2-3 salvos, usually before they found us. The sunderer was mostly just to get there).

      it seems the people who made ps2 are making a spiritual successor it doesnt sound promising thus far, it’s being funded by cryptobros apparently, which is possibly worrisome.

          yeah if it’s ONLY funding then it might not be bad, but i’ve not heard much else, it at the least seems worrisome. Remains to be seen what the game actually is, he’s only teased it to my knowledge so we don’t really know much of anything. if it takes the eve approach and turns it into a crypto game, then i will probably never play it.
