Planetside 2

Well, I am thoroughly impressed by this game. Planetside 2 is a free to play, massively multiplayer, online, first person shooter that takes place on continents. That's right, you have entire continents to fight over. However, because Planetside 2 is focused on scale and combat, it has little to no background and story. I have yet to figure out why we are fighting over this planet and why we can't just get along. Peace treaties aside, I will have to admit that this game is an amazing combat simulator, and I am unsure if it has a equal when it comes to all out war. The tutorial is a bit lack-luster and only shows you the basics, but it does give you enough time to adjust your settings and learn how to shoot. But then the game ruins the gradual learning curve by making you press a little button called "instant action". That button throws you into the middle of the largest and most intense fighting it can find and there is a large chance that you will be killed as soon as you land. Every class in this game is extremely useful in its own way: The medic can heal and revive, the engineer can repair and build turrets, the light assault has a jetpack, the heavy assault has a rocket launcher, the infiltrator can snipe and turn invisible, and the max can be a juggernaut. However, while all of these classes are effective, they can be made more effective if they all work as a team. So, while Planetside 2 is a shooter game, is relies heavily on teamwork. So if you want to win, you will have to fight together. When traveling from location to location you will be able to enjoy the wonderful scenery, which makes the game more in-depth and also provides all sorts of natural cover. The game creators really outdid themselves on the world you fight in: the time changes from day to night,  there are natural obstacles such as hills so you have to plan your invasion so that no tanks will get stuck trying to climb a mountain, and its just a beautiful sight seeing your army climb to the top of a hill and rain fire down on fleeing enemies. Overall, if you want one of the best combat simulators online gaming has to offer, join the battle for the Planetside. Oh, and then join the Vanu Sovereignty, we have lasers... and cookies.
