FFS: Planetside 2

Funs, Frustrations, and Suggestions: Planetside 2

For the past several days I've been playing the First-Person Shooter MMO, Planetside 2, and found myself enjoying the game quite a bit. I haven't played the original Planetside, so I knew very little going into the game. Overall I find the game really fun for FPS players and worth trying out. Did I also mention that it's Free-to-Play? Here are some of my funs and frustrations with the game so far:

Fun:
  • Good for hardcore and casual players
    • Casual players can just go in and mindlessly kill the enemy.
    • More serious players have objectives to capture for territorial conquest.
  • No commitment or demand to play
    • Can play for any length of time. Not necessary to dedicate a part of your day to get through content.
  • No real "quests" or "content"
    • No rails for your gaming experience.
    • No level limits or content separating players.
    • This can be stale for some players though, since it can get repetitive.
