Rank 100 86% efficiency SB pilot, way more hours than steam records due to the 3rd party launcher.

This game has some great mechanics and intense dogfights that can be incredible to experience in VR. You won't find another game like it. But unfortunately I cannot recommend this game to anyone, not my friends nor family would be able to play this game without being abused by the company which has ruined the game through changes to in game rewards that force players to use premium vehicles or have unsustainable game sessions in which they come out losing their hard earned progress. Every update it seems to get worse and worse, and now the main game mode i play (SB EC) is so unsustainable that playing any of the non-premium vehicles leads to loss of in game currency so much that players will quit matches after only a few deaths. This makes the game mode boring, filled with all the same vehicles since nobody wants to pay for their respawns. The game mode used to be full of engaging dogfights and interesting split second decisions. You used to be able to play a 2 hour match and get a huge amount of reward for your good performance. This is no longer the case, and all the new and free tier players suffer immensely. I will revisit this review when sustainability of players and the economy is modified for the better, but for now I think you should steer clear of this title, its not worth it currently.

Hello, I have played planetside 2 for appx 4 years since it was in Beta (2902 Hours played). About two year ago I would have recommended this game, however due to multiple patches since then I do not. There is no reason to become good at Planetside 2. Wasting your time learning and perfecting the skills necessary to being a successful player is met with nothing but blanket nerfs and changes to any playstyle that, with time and effort, are better than others. This game is the antithesis to a competitive game and for the last 5 years the company that produces it has done nothing but remove fun and competitive gameplay. There was a time when I would have rated this game an 8/10 must have, but that time is long gone and we are left with the remains of an old rotten bannana. I hope you do not decide to waste your time with this pile of garbage since it will end up being a waste of both time and money a thing that is precious in our day and age. If you do not decide to play this game due to my review I would appreciate that you rate my review accordingly since I do not know any other way to show my displeasure with the current state of the game. I appreciate your time reading and wish you luck in finding a fun and exciting multiplayer experience elsewhere.

Early Access Review
This game is worth your money.

At the time of this review I have 320+ hours playing this game, and I do not plan on stopping. I will try to keep it short to get to the point.

1. This game is Early Access done right. Patrick (the dev) updates every week, and is willing to listen to anyone's suggestions in discord all day. This is making the development of the game move quickly and every week we get a patch with things that the players WANT.

2. Guns in this game are accurate and deadly. Everything can be used to kill the enemy effectively if you are skilled enough to aim it. (AKA how a shooter should play)

3. Map Editor leads to some great maps and a very fun time for us creative folks. Spent a good probable 100 hours in the editor alone and created 4 maps in the MP rotation already.

4. ZM Panic mode is hilariously fun and roleplaying as a zombie with all chat has everyone laughing their ass off by the end of a match.

Is this game perfect? No but with your help and ideas, the developer can make it a little more perfect each week. That is a better experience than I have had with any other game, especially in terms of listening to the people who play his game the most for their opinions and using them to make the game better.
