What is this ?
Planetside 2 is a free to play squad based continent shooter simmiliar to battlefield. It is set in a futuristic setting with three diffrent factions with minor/major diffrences.
Factions
New ConglomerateThe New conglomerate is the "Oppresed ppl" of this game. They are a loosly connected group of rebel factions and idealistic freedom fighters, the New Conglomerate fights against the "dictatorship" of the Terran. The New Conglomerate is a separatist faction determined to remain free of the controlling and domineering Republic. They feel that any form of control is oppression and that a miserable free man is better off than a contented slave.
Terran Republic
You know the drill for theese guys. They are the opressors, they are the empire, they are the Terran Republic. The Terran Republic is an empire with a rich history extending 1,112 years, and is the originator of the other two empires. They brought order out of chaos and introduced an era of peace to the world. Since the armistice and the formation of the new government, they were the singular political force on Earth, and they set up an open and transparent government. This helped keep the peace for nearly two hundred years. Until the New ASSHOLOMERATE came along and said: "FAHK U I WANT 2 B FREE"
Vanu Soverignty
They are what we would call loving Scientologists. Through the use of the mysterious Vanu technology, the group has invented exotic energy weapons, and perfected the ability to modify and improve the human body. However, this alteration of the human species has generated great suspicion and hatred by the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate.
Classes
As every single team/squad based game ever, planetside 2 has classes.
InfiltratorA sniper armed with a pistol and a cloaking device. What more to say..
Light assaultAn class armed with a assault rifle/shotgun and a jetpack. Real good for scouting, flanks and quick assaults
Combat medicHeal pls
EngineerFix pls. Also you have sentries and stuff.
Heavy assaultImagine the light assault, but remove the jetpack and add more armor with a rocket launcher
MAXThe man tank, MAX-es are good for destroying infantry, ground veichles, and air veichles (Oh my)
The entire point of this thread is to make squads and discuss updates and the game.
