Hello, and welcome to Planetside 2. “Whatever gods once were, have long forsaken this place.” Planetside 2 sets it's self apart from any other shooter. With open world warfare, it's not hard to find a battle that suits your play-style, or end up as roadkill because people don't know how to drive. Battles can range from small outpost skirmishes, to all out bloodbaths in huge bio domes. It also excels at combined arms tactics. With armor, faction specific fighter planes, bombers, and transports, its quiet easy to find a role you can enjoy and master.
Within this game, there are three factions or empires. First you have the Terran Republic, loyalist to the Republics crown. Their distinct features are red, and gray uniforms. Their guns have low damage rates, but make up for that with high rates of fire. The Terran Republic is a conservative, socialistic state. Looking only to re-unite the three factions. While they don't have the best weapons, they make up in advanced military tactics and masses. Meaning, if they throw enough bodies at the enemy, the enemy will eventually break. Often in-game we refer to this as “the meat-grinder”.
Next we have the New Conglomerate. This faction is made up of the republics rebels, traitors, criminals, and runaway’s These traitor scum, as we loyal subjects like to call them, prefer to sport themselves in blue and yellow. Their weapon arsenal is mostly made up of hand-me-down guns that the Terran Republic deemed as unfit for service. While this may be the case, they are a not a force to be taken lightly. Their numbers grow everyday, as more and more loyalist turn their backs on the crown. These rebels fight for their freedom. Little do they know that their ideas are delusional.

...e 2 can quickly become a bore, and just an all around poor experience. YouTube or Google, provide some reliable tips and tricks to improve your game. Because the better you are, the more exciting the game can become.
Overall, Planetside 2 is still my favorite game, everything in-game is player based. You get to create your own goals. My personal goal in-game is to hunt down as many level 100's as possible. I find it humorous when I take down a maxed out player . I also try to always beat my previous scores, team-kill Sinist (infamous character on my server), or just sit outside a large base and take screen shot’s. The game is open world, which leads to endless possibility's when it comes to having fun.
I would give the game a critical rating, with all things considered, a 4 out of 5. There's still some work needed in-game, but overall, its still pretty awesome.
