My opinion: A very nice FPS to play that requires teamwork and strategy over sheer firepower. The multiplayer is quite balanced (Yet rocket pods on aircraft ARE NOT) and has a large friendly community. I would reccomend finding an outfit as soon as possible since you can't lone wolf this game. For £0.00 this is a fun fest with friends and with 3 maps with over 1000 people per side with 3 teams, who says there is a thing such as too much! (Also, its hilarious when 3 teams take one objective with 200 people aside.)

Pros:
> Good community.
> Stupid amounts of unlocks, map size and players per team.
> Good graphics.
> Updated regularly.
> Player made items (camos, helmets).
> Loads of fun with friends.

Cons:
> Unoptimised but the planetside 2 team are working hard on operation: Make faster game.
> Takes a lot of bullets to kill someone (10-15 in the head). If you play halo alot this is easy to get used to.
> Headshots are the only viable way to out gun and kill someone, I hope you have godly accuracy.
> The 'Certs', which are ingame currency, are a total grind to amass lots of (1 solid day of playing to unlock another decent item). This renforces its F2P motive...

To sum up:
> Get it, try it, its worth it.
> Its Battlefield meets Halo.
> A game you can get really into if you don't mind the grind. (Or you can throw money at it.)
