About PlanetSide 2
Join one of three warring empires in this free-to-play massive multiplayer shooter where hundreds of players clash across sprawling continents in persistent, large-scale battles for territorial control and resources. Customize your soldier across six distinct classes and hundreds of weapons and vehicles, then coordinate with your outfit to secure strategic positions and shift the tide of never-ending planetary warfare.

PlanetSide 2 is a free-to-play, massively multiplayer online first person shooter (MMOFPS).
Empires and their soldiers battle in an all-out planetary war on a scale never before seen, in stunning, breathtaking detail. PlanetSide 2 battles persist and the war never ends, offering constant challenges of individual skill, team grit, and empire-wide coordination. Take up arms and drop into intense infantry, vehicle, and air combat.
Players come together in enormous battles across four massive continents to win control of critical territories, gaining key resources for their empire. With an extensive skill tree and class-based system, players can customize their soldier, weapons, and vehicles to match their playstyle and meet the needs of their squads, outfits, and empires. In the world of PlanetSide 2, every soldier makes a difference.
THREE WARRING EMPIRES
Players will choose to align with one of three empires: the militaristic, authoritarian Terran Republic; the rebellious, freedom-fighting New Conglomerate; or the technocratic, alien-influenced Vanu Sovereignty. Each empire has access to empire-specific weapons, attachments, vehicles, abilities, and more.

MASSIVE WARFARE
Battles take place not between dozens of soldiers, but between hundreds. They fight on foot. They pile into vehicles. They take to the skies in devastating aircraft. Each battleground holds valuable resources and strategic positions, and the empire that can conquer and hold these territories will be rewarded with the resources and the means to achieve victory.
ENORMOUS MAPS
PlanetSide 2 features four incredible and diverse continent maps with dozens of square kilometers of seamless gameplay space, every inch of which is hand-crafted and contestable. Whether in open fields, barren desert, in armed and armored bases, or in the skies, victory will rely on knowing your surroundings.

PERSISTENCE THAT PAYS
In PlanetSide 2 the war isn’t won by a single base capture. The core gameplay of PlanetSide 2 is about holding crucial territories and controlling resources. Working strategically as a team to secure tactical positions has long-lasting effects that can shift the tide of battle.
CLASS-BASED COMBAT
Players can build their soldier to match wants and their allies' needs. Six distinct classes provide a wealth of squad options and combat tactics. Grow your soldier over time as you master each combat role, weapon, and vehicle, laterally unlocking hundreds of weapons, attachments, gear, skills, vehicles, and more.

Heavy Assault: Rush into the battle guns blazing. You are the dedicated foot soldier of Auraxis.
Light Assault: Go where the Heavies can’t with your short-burst jetpack. Pick a high spot, throw a grenade, and out maneuver your foes!
Combat Medic: Keep your fellow soldiers alive and in fighting shape. You are the beating heart of any squad.
Infiltrator: Stay silent. Stay invisible. You are death from the shadows, whether with a knife from behind or a single shot from a sniper's nest. You are the enemy's constant fear.
Engineer: Deploy crucial equipment. Resupply your allies. Fix the thing, then fix it again. You keep the machines running, the tanks firing, and the war effort moving forward.
MAX: Step into your Mechanized Assault Exo-Suit (MAX). Cannons for hands, armor for flesh, and a disposition to match, you are a walking mass of nigh unstoppable death.
OUTFIT TEAMWORK
Join or form your own Outfit, a like-minded group of soldiers who train together day in and day out. Whether a small rapid response team or a massive clan, Outfits are vital to each empire's strategic organization.

VEHICLES & WEAPONS
Train and equip your soldier how you want, with a huge array of weapons and vehicles which can be extensively customized by preference or purpose, using attachments, upgrades, and add-ons earned in the war.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Planetside 2 was beloved during its peak, particularly around the COVID period, but players largely agree the game is now in decline due to low active player counts (around 400 on good days), technical issues like crashes, and years of neglect in favor of monetization over core gameplay. While some still praise the unique massive-scale battles and balance updates, most express disappointment that the game's glory days have passed and hope for either a revival or Planetside 3 to revitalize the franchise.
Can't get past the tutorial, crashes repeatedly 2 minutes in. Game is broken.
best gam evr (if you ignore the crash bug)
Massive battles with infantry, tanks, aircraft, and hundreds of players make PlanetSide 2 a unique FPS experience even after all these years. Nothing quite compares to joining an ongoing planetary war - where capturing one base somehow turns into fighting over an entire continent.
Мертвая игра
This is game is so unoptimized it's not even funny. A game that looks like it can play on the PS3 has zero business taking up 4.5 GB of RAM I'm desperately waiting for a game to come out just like this so Planetside 2 can finally get put in the grave it already dug itself years ago. BTW the fortifications are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken im surprised they are actually advertising it as a feature and not doing their best to hide that function of their game considering how you can't place anything anywhere that isn't completely flat
this was sooo good a few years back and i want it to return to its glory :p lots of issues tho so do look at guides and YT before getting into it.
