Synopsis

Planetside 2 is a free to play MMO FPS that brings massive scale war as never before seen, players will fight for one of three different factions in endless battles for territory across three different continents. Ranging from small skirmishes to huge thousand player battles, players can fight as infantry, in all manner of vehicles from tanks to personnel carriers, and even as pilots in the sky with a seamless battle between land and air.

Players are able to switch between a multitude of different classes from the stealthy Infiltrator to that always handy Medic, in small groups or huge vanguards players are able to head into the ever changing bases to capture points and defend them until they control that piece of territory.

FPS meets strategy, groups of players known as Outfits will often use the tactical continent map to determine the best course of action and which linking territories to take next, in the meantime other Outfits and other factions are working alongside and also against them.

The Factions

New Conglomerate: a band of ragtag rebels and freedom fighters with a loose affiliation that have managed to come together to form the New Conglomerate, made up of the few men and women still fighting for liberty.

Terran Republic: using force and militaristic might the Terran Republic imposes peace through fear, an authoritarian government that cares little about civil liberties and the price they are willing to pay for peace is blood.

Vanu Sovereignty: a technologically forward empire from the outer regions that use their technological superiority to take what they want with little regard for the inferior lives that they take in the process.

 Classes

Heavy Infantry: equipped with heavy armour and powerful weaponry such as automatic rifles and a bazookas heavy infantry is the ideal class for taking out tanks and aircraft.

Light Infantry: the Light Infantry’s main feature is the jet pack that allows them to scale up to higher platforms, particularly useful when attacking bases.

Infiltrator: using their stealth cloak they are able to sneak into bases and hack terminals to aid their allies, but are also equipped with long-range sniper rifles making them deadly both from afar and up close.

Combat Medic: equipped with a healing gun that can heal at range and also be used to revive incapacitated players the Medic is the ideal support to keep attackers heading to their objective keeping defenders on their feet.

Engineer: the engineer’s primary task is to keep the vehicles repaired, once they have been destroyed they are lost for good and so good engineer constantly keeps his eyes on the health of the armoured vehicles around him

Max: the mechanised exoskeleton that infantry are able to equip is more walking tank than anything else, heavily armoured and even more heavily equipped with customisable weapons they are a fearsome sight to behold on the battlefield.

 Vehicles

Ground Transport: from the single seater Flash quad bikes to the 12 person seated APC Sunderer that can be used as a mobile spawn point there are a number of quick ways to get around in the game.

Tanks: where some tanks and built to speed such as the Lightning others like the Vanguard are built for pure stopping power giving a nice selection of tactics available when making an advance on enemy territory.

Air: as a pilot you are able to fly single man fighters, fearsome Liberator bombers to the large-scale Galaxy able to carry squads quickly across the continent.
