I am genuinely not trying to troll (I know - that's what a troll would say), but have any of you played this and compared it to Dust?
Similarities
Space type FPS's
Multiple factions to join
Character customization
Free to Play
Air vehicles
Ground vehicles
Character class
Multiple character can be made on one account
Shileds and Armor
Both made by Sony, so XB1 will NOT be seeing this game.
Differences
(Planetside 2)
Only for PC right now. Confirmed to be coming out for PS4.
More refined than Dust. Graphics are great - Look up some gameplay on youtube
Developers seem to be pushing their media pretty well. -> https://www.planetside2.com/media
- They have a "Friday Night Ops" that focuses on biggest battles, fittings and other game crap with some chick named Auraxis
- A show on youtube
- In game live battle streaming
- Tons of wallpaper to download on their site + videos
You can pick whatever class you want, whenever you want, and begin leveling it like Battlefield 3
Infinite sprint (After playing this game and losing all my stamina jumping twice after getting stuck going up a hill, having to wait 5 sedondss, then jumping more to get up a hill I could walk up in real life - THANK GOD).
The community seems friendlier. Look at this topic on Gamefaqs. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/718190-planetside-2/66429788 Why would anyone jump onto another systems board and promote the game to people that have never played it? People on their forums definitely aren't as upset with the game or developers as this forum is.
You can play as a class called "Max" which is like some kind of jugernaut-techno-supersoldier. I think it's like a power you can activate if you do well enough. Not sure.
More players in a match (I think 80 vs 80?)
It seems like the moment you login, you are in battle. You spawn in a safezone protected by a huge dome, and in order to fight you just go outside the dome into enemy territories (that you can capture). Because of this, I don't think there are any other game modes besides all out war.
Test server to bullshit around on.
Very thorough tutorial that walks you through everything there is to do
You can customize weapons (Silencers, scopes, etc)
Honestly I can't talk about the gameplay because I can't play for crap on the PC. Definitely too used to controllers, lol. I ran around a bit and everything seems way more responsive. Again, I haven't really played much, but the first impressions are way higher than what this game gave me. Just my opinion.
(Dust 514)
Less players in a match
More of an RPG element.
Much deeper character customization.
Glitchy
Graphics are... eh.
Finite Stamina
Tied to another game.
Orbital bombardments(?). I'm not sure if PS2 has this or not.
More weapon varieties.
No test server
More game modes
Dust has a lot of potential, but unfortunately I've emptied 50+rounds into people to just barely break their shields too many times to really think of too many great things this game has going for it. It certainly has potential though. No one can deny that.
So my question is: When it comes to people who like MMOFPS's, why would anyone choose Dust over Planetside 2? Have any of you played both and still chose Dust? Really I'm not trying to troll or convert people, I just thought it was really interesting that among this community of MMOFPS enthusiasts, none of us are talking about PS2 despite how similar it is to Dust - yet it's in a much better balanced and working order (for now).

I was wondering about that. I know you can earn "certs" (?) and some other form of currency, but I'm not sure how long that takes.
Are there player levels in Planetside 2? |

Making an account dedicated to putting a person down, really shows how hateful you,are. Not to mention cowardly, this way you can talk bad without getting your main banned. Pitiful.
You've never managed or moderated a message board, clearly. Mods can see info you can't. They can ban you by your IP address if they wanted plus I'm sure they have the very simple technology it takes to see what all names you have tied to you PSN account.
Besides, I think it is a pretty rightious statement that SO many people are forfeiting a character slot just to make a point about how strongly they feel this game is being mismanaged. |
