I never see many talk about planetside 2, so i thought i'd make an account and ask if there are any planetside 2 players out there on lemmy. What faction do you play? whats your favorite class? Vehicle? What do you enjoy most about the game?
I'm also looking for people to play with possibly. But im mostly curious what other linux users play in planetside 2.
I have about 400 hours on steam
When I first started I was NC all the way then eventually I moved to VS.
My favorite class, medium assault (medic). There's no better feeling than throwing a clutch revive grenade and getting everyone back up just as things look grim.
Favorite vehicle has got to be the OG battle bus. Get 12 heavy assaults in a fast sunderer. It's so much fun to all hop out at the same time and just launch 12 rockets at whatever you all decide is the enemy and destroy it immediately.
Also I gotta add on that the sunderer sets the pace of the game. Without a mobile spawn point like that the game wouldn't work. It's perfect.
My favorite part of the game overall though is the social aspect. I've met so many good people and we had the most fun roleplaying together or just getting bored and racing with the ATVs. There really will never be another PS2. Even now it's not the same but that just might be because I'm older.
Right now I don't have a PC but I'd love to start a Lemmy clan with everyone, that'd be awesome
i miss the battle busses, those aren't popular anymore but sometimes they spontaneously happen. im sure its not as fun for most everyone else who dont get a turret slot in the sundy. the idea is cool, but im not sure if i would be good at anything social in such a game. i think i'd rather follow orders than give them in this game. or operate solo.
