Frequently Asked Question
 
WHAT IS PLANETSIDE 2?

A: PlanetSide 2 is a Massively Multiplayer first person shooter that delivers truly epic, massive combat on a scale never before seen in stunning, breathtaking detail. Battles take place not between dozens of troops, but thousands; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops. Whether in open fields, tightly-packed urban centers or enormous structures, winning requires strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger.

IS PLANETSIDE 2 AN MMO?
 
A: Yes. PlanetSide 2 is an MMO FPS set in an online persistent world where the war wages non-stop and the balance of power shifts with every base and territory captured and lost. Players will be able to unlock diverse combat roles by advancing through the deep skill trees, including several classic roles from PlanetSide. As players unlock new roles, they can switch between them at will.

WHAT ARE THE THREE FACTIONS IN PLANETSIDE 2?
 
A: Terran Republic - An authoritarian government that leverages military might to maintain strict control over the colonial citizens. The Terran Republic is obsessed with the preservation of law and order and are thus seen by some to be an oppressive and dictatorial force, but many view the TR as the only hope for lasting security on Auraxis.

New Conglomerate - Rebels, freedom fighters or terrorists? The New Conglomerate operates as a loosely organized band of dissidents, vehemently opposed to the stranglehold that the Terran Republic has on Auraxis. Led by an unusual quorum of outcasts, industry titans, pirates and former military leaders, the New Conglomerate is unwavering and prepared to achieve their goals by any means necessary.

Vanu Sovereignty - Vanu has taught that only through technology can humanity evolve it's next state of existence. The Vanu Sovereignty is extremely advanced, employing powerful alien technology on the battlefield. Their singular purpose is to uncover the secrets hidden away in ancient artifacts scattered over the surface of Auraxis and they will annihilate anyone who interferes.

Another FPS, probably going to be fun for a week or so then forgotten.

uh oh this is so much more than another FPS...

Getting this game 100%. The game is basically focused on faction warfare, kind of like GW2 WvW but more deep.

No its currently in alpha development, but Beta sign up is available here

This will be Free to play, the only thing you will be able to purchase with real money will be customization features such as different coloured gear etc.  It is not 'pay to win'.


Another FPS, probably going to be fun for a week or so then forgotten.

Considering the original Planetside is still be played by a large and dedicated fan base i very much doubt this game will be a one week wonder.  Maybe have a bit of a longer look at the info before coming to a conclusion.

Ohhh derp, I've already signed up for this beta! The one thing I don't like is that it's SOE, but other than that it looks amazing! Wasn't planetside 1 the one where you could push those fuzzballs or something?

Definitely playing this. Mass scale war in Planetside was (and still is) unparalleled.

I see no reason why they would market it as free to play and then change, of course the game is still in alpha development so it may be subject to change.

I see myself dropping GW2 for this game, to be completely honest. It's like Battlefield 3 + Strat + future. Training for airforce in Battlefield 3, pilot foreva!

Planetside 1 was kind of bad, but Planetside 2 looks better. They haven't said much about how deep the strategic/resource/economy layer will be though, cuz it still might just be another FPS is there's nothing decent like that.
