![]() The battles were everything I’d hoped for combat was incredibly deadly as a low level medic, and attempting to actually kill anyone with my pulse rifle or (god forbid) the dinky secondary pistol was a recipe in failure. So my early years in P lanetside 2 involved leaving spawn, running for maybe thirty minutes until I found (and died on) a battlefield, then making use of the new closer spawn to repeatedly jump back into the fray. Watching health bars go up is honestly my favorite pastime in multiplayer shooters, and the medics in Planetside 2 have this cool laser gun thing that looks like a 16mm film camera, it can either heal teammates or revive dead soldiers’ corpses. I started out as the medic class for obvious reasons and pretty much never switched. My character was a dark-skinned female named Bogardt, not that it mattered a hell of a lot because everybody wore these sci-fi catsuits and face-concealing helmets and the game was in first-person anyway. I needed to at least know the colors in order to tell which one I was fighting at any given moment, since the blue ones seemed to have the most dangerous guns and would always kill me faster. I don’t know what either is called because I picked Vanu because they have the cutest butts. Planetside 2 has three factions, the purple Vanu Sovereignty and two others that were colored red and blue. So all screenshots will be the ones I took from before I stopped playing in 2014. Somehow they’ve completely redone how computers run the game, I can’t seem to take screenshots or access the Steam Overlay. I just wanted to follow orders and keep my head down. For that reason, I did almost no research before plunging in. ![]() I wanted to be a tiny pawn in a giant, unfathomable war machine, where powers larger than myself or the hundreds of soldiers around me waged a never-ending game of dominance. Far as I knew, Planetside 2 was really the only option if playercount was your single defining criteria, as it’s the leading juggernaut in the relatively niche MMOFPS market. When I started playing Planetside 2 on Aug 14, 2013, my motivation was extremely straightforward I wanted to participate in giant battles with hundreds of players slugging it out in first-person shooter combat.
