Planetside 2

I've played some (more) planetside 2 in the last few days, and there are some things I really like about the game. For one, I like that there are 3 teams fighting over an area, so even if you're pushing one team back easily, you need to be ready in case the other team starts to attack you from behind. Another thing I like about the game is how it includes vehicles, both ground and air, and they are interesting to fly and ride in. FPS gameplay gets pretty old to me pretty quickly, so it's nice that there is some decent variety there. I also like the built in voice communication.

There are lots of things to not like about the game too. For instance, there are heavy cash purchase options, and many of the higher tier upgrades would take months of playing to unlock each one. Either that or I haven't found the right way to quickly earn certifications yet. I don't believe the higher level characters have significant advantage over lower level characters, but you still get a good chance to vary your gameplay by purchasing upgrades. I have one friend that really hates the game, so it's certainly not for everyone. I recommend giving it a try however.
