This is a PlanetSide 2 multiplayer gameplay video which is part of a series I call PlanetSide 2 Epic Small Fights. Available on PC and PS4. PlanetSide 2 is a massively multiplayer online first person shooter where players align with one of three unique empires. Join thousands of simultaneous players in intense infantry, air, and ground vehicle gameplay. Gameplay: Fun, Frustrating, and Fantastic. Alliteration FTW. Sick of the generic FPS? Sick of being stuck in a sandbox? Well get your butt in gear and deploy onto the planetside. Fight as an Infantry. Fight as a Tank. Fight as an Aircraft. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Features territory control in an open-world, large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent on foot or in land/air vehicles. It is a faster paced game than the original PlanetSide and holds the ability to feature potentially thousands of players. It also features familiar first person shooter elements such as sprinting, iron sights, and regenerating shields. An important aspect is that player skill and teamwork are major determiners when it comes to being able to kill other players and overcome opposing teams. The game also features a day and night cycle, meaning that battles happen in different times of day, affecting the general methods for warfare. Combat takes place on the continents of Auraxis which are broken up into many territories. Territories are then split into sectors which can be captured by the various empires. Influence from captured sectors can provide bonuses to a faction in adjacent sectors. The mission system is partly automated and partly controlled by commanders and outfits. It provides focal points for players to attack and defend and helps players get into the action quickly. Story: Story? THIS IS WAR!!! Set approximately 300 years after the discovery of Auraxis, although the chronology of the game universe starts a few years before. After the Earth has nearly come to ruin following a devastating war, the world's governments came to a consensus and united under one banner: the world-wide Terran Republic (TR). Some time later a wormhole, one which scientists fail to explain, appears and then disappears without a trace. Ex-President of the Terran Republic, Tom Connery, believes that the wormhole is a sign of existing extraterrestrial life and launches several space expeditions. The first expedition to Moon Belt gives a lead—a figurine of alien nature—giving Connery a reason to start a second expedition further into space. Several Terran Republic ships travel through the wormhole and are stranded for a very long period of time; their situation grows dire. Due to the crew's mental exhaustion and provision limit, strict curfews are applied. Later, a vote is held about the necessity of the measures. The positive vote wins, but only barely. There are nearly as many negative votes. A second vote is called. However, a terrorist bomb destroys the ship on which the vote is to occur, killing everyone aboard, including Connery. Curfews pass. Later, the expedition discovers the planet Auraxis, and as a result, Vanu, or "ancient", technology. Among this vast array of technology is "Rebirthing Chambers", capable of reviving any person from any kind of injury with even the smallest amount of genetic code. This removed the main tool of the Terran Republic on Auraxis, fear. As a result the Republic banned the use of this technology, but some scientists continued, forming the Vanu Sovereignty, as the Terran started to militarize to control this, a collection of separatists broke off, forming the New Conglomerate, who stole weapons and equipment from the militarization process. So exactly 175 years after Tom Connery and the other leaders of the Terran Republic were killed, the war between the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate breaks out. Following this, the New Conglomerate attacks the scientists who were still working on the alien technology, the Vanu Sovereignty, and they are as a result drawn into the conflict with the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate. This prevented any work towards finding a way to regain contact with Earth, and the war for Auraxis has been raging ever since. Factions: Terran Republic (Red Scumbags) - High Rate of Fire with Lower Damage. New Conglomerate (Blue Scumbags) - Higher Damage with low Rate of Fire. Vanu Sovereignty (Purple Gods) - We have lasers.
