I'm playing Terran Republic and we lost one of our biodome.
After we lost it, my team did some unorganized attacks to take it back but it failed. After that me and my platoon decided to infiltrate the biodome but that also failed. After that we started to talk with a lot of people at the main base and decided to do an organized attack on the biodome, we attacked with 17-20 tanks that got escorted by 13-15 aircraft. Somehow the other team (Vanu Sovereignty) saw us coming and like 5-7 enemy aircraft appeared and attack us, they were mainly focusing on the tanks. We eventually got them but with 3 or 4 tank losses.
When we arrived there, there was like 8 tanks or something but we had more infantry, we destroyed those tanks and took our biodome back.

Terran Republic- Fighting withdrawal through NC territory as we desperately held off an armored spearhead. We didn't have any armor or air support and got bogged down in canyon bases pulling back as much as we could. It was like the god damn Battle of the Bulge. Lasted a good 2 hours until the lines were stabilized.

Probably right after I signed up... when I closed it and haven't touched it since.

The signup page is broken as -blam!- (accepts the "/" character but doesn't tell you it's not technically allowed, you can't use it in the second field, password wise).

Additionally all of the good names for everything are taken, literally tried almost everything I could think of before getting something acceptable.

The game doesn't have a gamepad profile by default, requiring you to configure every control yourself if you want to use one.

The game is unoptimized as -blam!-. I have my desktop plugged into an 865W UPS, and maxing out the graphics options managed to pull 110% of that available power (all 4 GPUs were at 70%), making it hiss at me. I guess a crossfire profile will eventually fix this, but still.

Upon spawning into the game for my first time, I was killed within 5 seconds by an enemy tank lingering in the area.

The only reason I even got through the horrible signup process to get killed in their immensely unoptimized game was because I had it recommended to me by a friend.

Upon dying I got to experience yet another blunder. The god -blam!- awful GUI layout. It's layout is itself unintuitive (not highlighting currently selected menu items when you hover over them, where buttons are located). The biggest frustration coming from them not having any damn keys mapped for standard functions (eg esc should preform the back operation).

From 4 hours of downloading, 1 hour of sign-up / setup, and less than 5 seconds of play: I would rate this game 1/5.

You have to signup at the Planetside2.com and everything will work fine.

Game is unoptimized but they are working on it.

If you spawn in a zone where there is a lot of fighting, it's your own fault. You could also spawn at main base or any zones that's not so busy.

4 hours? wow. I installed this game in 35-40 minutes.

Can you tell the specs?

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

Love the game, but I'm looking for a good squad, I keep getting matched up with randoms who only want to snipe.

Anyway, my first game I spawned Terran as we were getting wrecked along our western flank by the Vanu, we were losing bases rapidly until we got some gunship support about a half hour into the fight and we were able to get a company of snipers and light infantry behind their lines to take out their respawn centers. Eventually a few APCs and tanks pushed back and stabilized the lines. Our task force got rerouted soon afterwards however as a massive NC force was pushing to the north, so we loaded up into aircraft and dropped directly into their armored spear to try and disrupt the attack. Luckily our forces in the north were able to mount a counter attack at the same time on the NC rear lines, so they had to retreat to defend their bases, from there what was left was sent to try and stabilize our western forces as the Vanu planned another sweep.

Download Xpadder, it is a really good program that will help you with this problem.

No, sorry. It was refitted with some gaming parts in 2007.


If you do everything on low you could probably play it and if not, set your render settings at 60-70%

We will storm your base with thousands of infantry and hundreds of tanks while your Vanu Sovereignty attempts to defend it with 2 tanks and 6 infantry with weapons that are slightly better than ours.
Terran Republic all the way!
