Per Audacia Ad Astra

It's exciting running into battle alongside tanks, aircraft zooming overhead, quad bikes storming ahead of you and fellow soldiers scattered everywhere or huddled behind the same cover.

It feels like my idea of fighting on the front lines.

It's amazingly fun. I can't play it on my laptop, but I've played it when I was home for Thanksgiving Break and it was super great. Lots of chaos, lots of memorable combat, it's the sort of game that you need to play with other people and somewhat communicate or have a general idea of what the herd is doing if you want to do well.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

It's alright. I haven't played it too much.

Plays well on my laptop. No lag that I hear a ton of whining about.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
-Douglas Adams

It's Battlefield mixed with Halo times 9000.

It's awesome!

Especially the giant tank battles.

Just download it manually and play it that way?

Google and youtube are your best friends.

Color The Sky
Lost In Las Vegas
Missed You

Remember all
The sadness and frustration
And let it go

I've played it for a few hours and only run into 4 enemy players, so I guess the battles you guys are having are elsewhere. :c
Is there a reliable sector where you constantly see large-scale combat?

This, and then when you're a part of a squad or platoon, you really feel immersed in the battle itself, like a necessary part of it

Do you go onto the pay and deploy on the instant action areas? because those are generally where the big battles are

It's F2P, so you could just make a new account while you wait.

I downloaded the client off steam so I can't get into the game without waiting 3-5 hours to download it again. No planetside 2 for me today :(

Best way to find out is download it and see! ;)

Yeah, I've played it. Easily one of the best games of the year. In fact, I'd say this is the future of online First Person Shooters.

I also reviewed this game for my college newspaper, the Western Front.

Uh, that would probably be The Crown on Indar. It's right in the middle of the continent.

Another good thing to do is when you're at the warpgate, open your map, set a waypoint for one locations that's on the front lines of battle, spawn a cheap aircraft, fly there, and get in to the fight! ;)
