I first played planetside 2 in 2014. Due to its high performance requirements and laggy servers I stopped playing. I picked it back up again this month with a brand new gaming pc and have to say they fixed all the performance issues by making the game look like your playing on a nintendo 64.

The game itself is very unbalanced and PURE pay to win. It seems like they spent the last 5 years building on there in game currency instead of their community, game mechanics and glitches. Outfits and organization seems fairly dead, and that is more than half the fun of this game; teaming up and raiding a base.

I would not recommend this game because it has very unbalanced servers, it is still full of small but annoying bugs such as freezing and crashes.

(ps: by game mechanics I am talking about exploits i see used constantly such as -

Damage in Planetside 2 is client-side, meaning you will deal damage to an enemy based on what is on your screen. Since there is a delay ("lag") between players and the server, you can sprint into a room and start shooting someone before you even appear on their screen. Similarly, you can kill someone that you can see, even if they have already gone around the corner on their screen. This can make it seem like you are shooting through walls. Extreme cases of this can even lead to the appearance of infiltrators killing people before they decloak. What this means is that it is almost always better to be moving constantly.
