Planetside 2

Post by Darklight »

Those of you who have been on steam for the last few days will have seen that planetsiders 2 is f2p. Pretty awesome game so far, and looks to be worth the 9 gig of download.

The purpose of this post, is for those who do play it.
What faction and server does everyone play on? Im playing on one of the EU ones at the moment as the Australian, last time I checked was down. Also playing as the Vanu.
And should we make a "guild" for fCraft players? :)

Well the servers shat themselves on the first day, which is, while not unexpected, annoying.
I think it would be cool to have an fCraft Outfit, but the problem ofc is the multinationality of the community, we would be spread across the 3 regions and probably unlikely to play with each other.

Also lag on US < lag on EU from Aus :P

Which server do you play on Xes? I wasnt getting too much lag on the EU server, probably because hardly anyone was on. But eh..
Im assuming a US one?

This game brings my nostalgia from the good old Battlefield 2142 days. I've got it downloaded and will give it a go when I'm done visiting family. It looks promising and I'm actually excited for it.

Only downside is it tends to have periodic lag spikes, which can only be expected. Its just launched and the playerbase is pretty huge. Aside from that, freaking sweet game :)

I chose Ceres because I knew one person already there, and it has a relatively low population which means less lag and downtime, but still get giant battles and super zerg rushes.

Are you on Ceres Inter? I'm on Miller, but I think they just included account level unlocks so maybe it wont matter.
