The game is still being supported by a dev team with decent resources although [[Fag|the youtuber turned game dev Wrel]] continues to make or endorse highly questionable decisions regarding updates. There’s bugs and flaws as old as the game itself which may never be fixed due to the game’s spaghetti code. Advertising for the game is also virtually nonexistent except for major updates. The worst issue however is its very nature as a skill-based shooter. The game is so hard for noobs to get into because it’s effectively the Dark Souls of FPS games, leading to poor player retention and a ball-busting new-player experience. If you’re a console player, you have to deal with constant neglect by the devs in addition to the aforementioned issues. Whatever PC-side gets, console will be behind by months if not longer. Some features won’t even make it at all. Console population is also much smaller, though it can still bring the epic experiences Planetside is known for on a single continent. Only if you’re on the US Genudine server, since the European Ceres server is a ghost town of sweaty veterans. On top of that, performance is significantly worse unless you have a Playstation 4 pro or Playstation 5.

But even with all of its flaws, Planetside 2 is the only game of its kind on the market, and it’s free. The game can often bring you unforgettable experiences no other game can provide, including the Battlefield franchise. Other games try to recreate massive, cinematic battles inside of clearly staged trailers. These types of battles are a daily reality in Planetside 2, and it’s easy to take for granted. The game is also the furthest from pay to win. You win or lose based on your own skill and that of your teammates, not superior gear that’s locked behind a paywall. While some weapons and items are inherently better than others given the daily realities of the game, all of it can be obtained relatively easily without an obscene grind. If you’re just getting into the game, make sure to squad up with other people and join active outfits. They will show you the ropes. Do not give up and stick it out, because it will get better.
