Map may be larger than your average fps, but not all of the map used. Each area is like playing BF3 map. There is no difference. Dont see to many people hiking the 10k between battlesites, and each battlesite is about the same as a large BF3 map.
Game is ok, but nothing i cant get from a fps game.
compared to BF3:
Player progession....check
unlock weapons...... check
unlock accerorries .... check
tanks.... check
flying things.... check
multiple classes you can change once dead..... check
camping.... check
people playing fps solo and killing the team ..... check
Friendly fire...... check
grenades, prime weapon, 2nd weapon........ check
no alien life forms, no true reason to take over a base, no reward for winning other than to win....... check
win/lose/kdr/etc....... check
Not much difference. BF3 maps are of good size, and after playing PS2 for a few hours i never realy needed to move to another area. So basicaly you have a huge world map but only a small portion is used. And i ahvent seen more than maybe 50 people in any given area yet, no thousands of players in same area. So player base and map sized compared is about the same.
Its new and all flashy, so of course it feels like it is more than it realy is.
So basically to sum up PS2 its just flipping territory and thats it.
I played for about 3 hours and I'm really disapointed I was really hoping for a great game.
* Map is much much smaller than I expected. I expected it to be a world .
* No safe zones , I didnt do much research on this game but when I think mmorpg I think cities , safe zones and auction houses.
* Nothing player built.
This is the first time I support a FTP game, I dont like FTP but Im really glad I was able to try this game out before I wasted money on it.
Between SWTOR , Tera , WOW getting Lazy , Diablo 3 sucking and now this PS2 crapfest , in my opinion video games as a whole are really starting to suck lately.
I have yet to play but have watched others play and it looks fine. Maybe gaming as a hobby/profession isn't your thing any longer. Venture out into the real world and do something else. No one really wants to hear your sob story how games aren't your cup of tea any longer.

The only thing that was a complete disapointment is clicking on this thread. I hear COD is good for easy kills with players that lack skill.

"No safe zones"
Each faction has a dedicated base where the other factions can't access. It's the main area to launch aircraft from or setup your soldier.
It sounds like you went into it thinking it was a mmorpg, like Tabula Rasa (R.I.P). Just a few minutes of research would have told you this. Oh we'll. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Well, to be fair to BF3, I had quite a few matches on servers that were 128 vs. 128. So, servers were capable of handling 256 players. But that is still not the same as having three faction mass combat. Was playing a couple hours last night and my faction alone had 1200 people on the server.

You can only pay for weapons. You can't buy any other upgrades through the cash shop.
I havent been reading that much about the game overall before the launch, and after playing it I still can say it's exactly what it was marketed being as. A massive multiplayer online firstperson shooter. It's mind boggling that some people get dissapointed here, you should already know if you like it or not since 100% of the game info was revealed before it released. There never were talk about any RPG features to be present in the game.

Originally posted by Whitebeards When you said maps are much much smaller..i just rolled my eyes and said 'never mind'. Maps in PS2 are anything but small.
I agree. The maps are HUGE. You need vehicles or you have to walk for a long time. Thank god for instant spawning on many spawn points.
PS2, I'll agree, is very shallow at this point. It feels like a basic version of the game was given out so they can work it from the ground up. Yet, honestly, I don't see any radical changes incoming for a LONG time (content-wise).
Still, it's a game to log into for an hour or so every now and then when you're bored.
I've been playing the hell of out this game, I really didn't expect to like it anywhere as much as I do. It plays a lot like BF3 and I never could really play that game for long periods of time before getting bored. With PS2 I think the big difference to me is the size of the maps and large avenues of approach that are possible when taking objectives, something that I hated with BF3 since most the maps were just funnels with very little room to improvise.
I spent about 3 hours last night playing with a dedicated squad and a few random outfits numbering in the hundreds taking just one biolab and then defending it. I haven't had this much fun with a FPS in a long time, while I agree the idea of taking objective after objective without end can get tedious just the sheer amount of epicness of rolling with dozens of vehicles full to the brim with troops and assaulting fortified bases has blown me away.

Its an overglorified FPS games with bigger maps than most other FPS games and higher number of player.
What did you even expect a bigger world or a gmore grand game? It should have been obvious from the start how tiny PS2's world is and how limited the scope of gameplay is compared to an MMORPG. Its a shooter.
PS2 "continent" maps are barely 4 and rather 3 times the size of a generic zoned mmo map except there are only 3 of them in total while most zoned MMOs have dozen of them.
Plus the map design claim anyone what he wants is extremely repetitive and boring. Its like 3 basic themes over and over again all over the map. Spiked with the ever same few "base" buidlings every mile and only rarely some unique features.
Plus the world feels even smaller since the points of interests are all of the same kind. That of an FPS. You dont visit the castle or a groove to battle a dragon and find a hidden chest and resque a little girl from a bear. At best you will shoot at the same people as 10 minutes before.
Plus the world feels even smaller since in general your interaction with the world is very limited, much lower than in even most generic MMOs. Leave alone interation of a sandbox style game.
In the end its just a map for a shooter.
That's quite a typical "I haven't tried it so I have no idea what I'm talking about" response. Waste of typing.

Lol, amount of stupidity I see in this post is beyond whatever I could think of.
1. Map is quite huge. Try to move on foot and see how long it will take to cross it. If you manage to cross it while being alive...
2. There is one safe zone - your own starting base. After that you have small safe zones around the map if you control a base (bulding with forcefields - spawn points). But once you loose that point, this place will not be safe.
3. You have huge map with camps, towers, bases, fortreses etc. What you would like to build there ?
SWTOR, TERA and WOW are MMORPG. Planetside 2 my friend is MMOFPS. In other words it's a MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER. Like Battlefield series but with huge maps and no rounds - everything is permament. And it's a VERY good shooter.

Im happy its just a shooter, but tired of people saying its the new best thing and its so superior than anything else. Its not, played game like this years ago.

You know what the best part about this thread is? When I get home from work today, I'll be playing PS2 and enjoying the hell out of it. If you don't see the point of playing a game where you overcome the opposition why did you even make this thread? As for your disappointment arguements.
*You can literally see across BF3 maps - from one boundary to the other. Those maps are much smaller than expected or advertised. Perhaps this is the world of Planetside 2, I don't walk from place to place very often though.
*MMOFPS not MMORPG. There are safe zones.
*I constantly use resources to build tanks and aircraft. A lot like crafting in WoW - you go to the station and click the one you want to make and poof there it is. As for building structures - good luck with all the enemies attacking everything you're building.
I've only played it through one session so far, but at it's core it seems the same as the first one. I'm not sure why anyone would have expected it to be like a traditional MMO with auction houses/quests. Assuming you played/knew about the first Planetside at the very least..

Agreed on all points. They lable it a MMO and a sandbox when it's neither of those things. It's not even a decent shooter.

I've only played it through one session so far, but at it's core it seems the same as the first one. I'm not sure why anyone would have expected it to be like a traditional MMO with auction houses/quests. Assuming you played/knew about the first Planetside at the very least..
Agreed on all points. They lable it a MMO and a sandbox when it's neither of those things. It's not even a decent shooter.
