When i was younger i didnt had a PC or a PS4 to enjoy this game, so i played it when i went to my friends house on his PS4 (2015-2018 maybe?) and i always loved this game since i was a kid (discovered this game on 2013 via youtube)

Right now i want to experience this game again but idk if the game stills alive or if it even has the same population and caos it had before.

i dont want this game to die, i was more of a casual player since i couldn't play on my own device and play for HOURS but always loved this game

Will there be a Planetside 3? Recently got back to PC gaming and started remembering how much fun I had with Planetside 2.

I think a modern version could really revolutionize pc gaming.

Really fun night! Thank you TR command for working with us.

We are recruiting, join the Spetsnaz now!

Finally dredged through the last of my clips for a send-off of the game. Hope to see ya'll on Auraxis before its gone.

wondering if anyone could help me just installed the game for the first time and noticed there was a bit of lag in the tutorial but once i got into the main lobbies the game is unplayable. Pressing E to open things like the loadout can take minuets to register and once i eventually spawn in all i see is vehicles and players flying teleporting and there is nothing i can do i have 23 ping to the server and this is the only game i have ever had this problem on. i have a relatively high end pc so assuming that is not the issue just wondering if anyone has had the same issue and has any ideas on how to fix it.

Urgent Maintenance 8/31 @ 4PM PDT.

Alert and Continent Changes

Servers will be down today @ 4PM for an urgent hotfix. Downtime could be up to 1-3hrs.

The alert and continent change systems were accidentally affected by the latest hotfix.

• Alerts should now finish correctly.
• Continent changes should work smoothly again.

I'm not educated in what Combined Arms initiative update actually did, but it appeared to simply mess with the vehicle game, where tanks deal insignificant damage on enemy's flanks, making the vehicle game all about numbers, rather than plays (but this is not important for now). Together with the Sunderer update further bolstering vehicle convoy tactics by making vehicles nearly immortal to DPS, the only counter to such a formation is using Command & Conquer GLA tactics of strapping bombs on a vehicle and throwing it into the crowd. That's pretty much the only way you can engage such tactics, or simply dropping an OS tactical nuke.

I've seen CBMC members cooking up many ideas on how to remove the kamikaze weapon from the game, overcomplicating it, when the problem is simple. It is Demolitions Pouch and Mine Carrier which need to be removed. That's all that needs to be done.
I'm not saying I am a fan of Bastion or Colossus, and it is obvious that CBMC members with their suggestions are usually dishonest and they just want to exploit absolutely game breaking unbalanced designs without any counters.
But essentially the Demolitions Pouch / Mine Carrier was also a problem related to deployed Sunderer hunting, and hence why we got the absolutely broken Sunderer in the first place that screws over gameplay in every conceivable way from infantry to vehicles. If the Demolitions Pouch and Mine Carrier got removed, the Sunderer should get reverted to their original design (without proximity repair).
And something as simple as removing 2 shitty suit slots and reverting Sunderers should be achievable in a day or more if the devs had interest and should improve playability of the game. A simple no brainer change. Nobody would miss the removed items and it would be a step forward, a small step, but better than nothing or further escalating problems which the devs love to do.

Although as a reminder, the proximity Repair must not come back to Sunderer or else we'll be at square one, it should not be in the game at all because it heavily screws with balance.

Now, about the Sunderer hunting, there are more problems but it was minor for the most part. The problem was mainly bypassing all the enemy's defenses by dropping from the air. Let's say Beacon, which is one annoying item without proper rules. For example, it was put on an antenna and there'd be players I remember that'd drop on top of the antenna and drift with a Light Assault to the deployed Sunderer in a loop till it got destroyed. Or another one was using cheap air transports. Air transports should not have been cheaper than 350 or 450 Nanites.
Or another way of bypassing enemy's defenses was cloaked Flash with M40 Fury grenade launcher and arching shots above terrain to kill a Sunderer in seconds.
But the thing is that nobody hunted for Sunderers in a long time. The devs essentially dished out a "counter" (making deployed sunderers weaker to C4, without removing demo pouch), when nobody had interest in it anymore, since the game lost activity, cause you know, game's shit. So, devs were essentially tackling a nonexistent issue and broke the game further.

See you on Sep 5 for Ignite Auraxis!

Not bait. I just kinda wanted to play with planetside peeps and do stupid stuff in this new thing, see how we do. EU servers, probably, though I am used to US planetmens ping anyway. Might get into logistics/building

When I was a member of CBMC, the leadership immediately granted me access to the outfit's assets and allowed me to operate independently, enabling me to fully unleash the power of the "final boss."

Hi guys any idea how to sort out this error? I have previous uninstalled and then reinstalled again, this worked and allowed me to play for about a day. I have validated the game files as well, not really too sure what else to do

Just hopped on as looked busy, ran well, thought awesome. Got Into a platoon great, had a TR harasser running us over a lot, 2 mins later I see it get C4 on it and boom it's friendly,... What the actual F, it's identical to the tr one!

I had platoon leader messaging me why tk?

I said If folks Look the same and the vehicle is the same and it's moving a chaotic don't complain if I C4 you.

A minute later I shit a TR infil, turns out is Vanu... Again same camo as TR....

I've been a loyal Planetmans since joining Iron Pulse in the PS2 beta, and Vanu purple, NC Blue, TR RED.

WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE US ALL THE SAME DAMN COLOUR.

AND THOSE THAT WEAR IT DONT GET SALTY IF WE KILL YOU, ITS NOT MALICIOUS ITS YOUR CHOICE OF CAMO.

There are many problems in the core infantry game and everything must be tackled for best playability, from map/base design, audio, server quality, performance, balance, gunplay, but this topic will be more of a simple one.

I don't see the reason for Beacon becoming accessible to all. It turns into a lazy standard method of spawn for zergs. It causes a great mess altogether, from the end of the users, you know, like we've all seen a squad leader getting mad over beacon use instead of putting fault on themselves for bad organization and effort.
But it also causes a mess for the receiving end. The reason for Infiltrator complaints, or more specifically cloak complaints, were not about some dickheads manipulating their internet connection to fire at you before decloaking on your screen. That was not the issue of cloak, that was a server quality problem, the server must have had better regulation for better playability because at that level, the game itself even without cloak becomes unplayable where players can shoot at you, before popping from cover on your screen and so on.
The problem of cloak was that it was unpredictable, you can't see it, you can't tell what you're up against, it's random. And it would be best if this game became simpler, more predictable with less of this randomness. Talk about new player experience...
Beacon being turned into a standard method of spawn fuels this unpredictability, with players literally dropping on top of you out of thin air. And it also takes away the purpose of Light Assault, since all classes get access to rooftops or ability to flank behind enemies with beacon spam. Hence the LA received buffs, which as well negatively impacted the playability of the game, such as Ambusher jump jets, impulse, Carbine jumping cone of fire buffs, short barrel, laser sight buffs, Unstable ammo...
The audio in this game is very bad, heavily downgraded, 2 dimensional. It doesn't give clear indications for things that matter, like how many people are moving in the building, at which level, is there MAX movement, jump jet activation, so there's better predictability of what you're up against, lets say when attempting to flank in a small fight. Nevertheless, audio is so broken that often times it gives no indication at all, it can skip a MAX moving 5 meters from me.
But the Ambusher jump jets, which are heavily abused by majority, add to this problem of low audio quality. They basically propulse you 50 meters forward and I've had incidents with my SFX audio maxed out, where I would get no audio indication of a player propulsing themselves to me from 50 meters away, I would literally just hear the wind and then gunfire right next to me as if the player used teleport commands.
Impulse use is comparable. And generally the idea of turning Light Assault into a high mobility playstyle is a terrible choice, when the game engine itself has trouble handling high mobility playstyles at all. This is a slow paced game.
Similarly to Infiltrator, Light Assault is as well a class which is healthier when there's less of it. It should lose its Rocklet Rifle and all these new gimmicks, and the class brought back to its original design, together with Beacon being put back in its place it belongs, the squad leader.

I am just saying what I think. Something should be given in return, I know, not just take. The audio should be the number 1 thing that should be brough back, with removal of construction. Which should greatly enhance the general playability and experience in the game by itself. If that's possible.

It's the fourth time in a row that I've opened the game and it's closed on me.

One thing the team behind the Fortification update failed to grasp is that the Anti-Aircraft Turret was originally designed to operate via an automated AI module, given the AI's 100% firing accuracy. However, once the AI ​​module was removed, players found themselves unable to effectively control the turret to deter aircraft.

Remember i'm top 1 A2G of PS2, i can beat any things no matter what anti air method they use. But the only things i can't beat is Anti aircraft turnet firing by Module

Wanna get the auraxed suit for the light assault and wondered which smg is the best

I'm not great with timing my long shots. I hear there are Skyguard mains. Would you explain to me the proper load out and game technique to be one?

IGNITE AURAXIS - Sep 5, 2026, starting at 6pm US Eastern - Tons of outfits already on board, large fights expected... be there! Watch the YouTube short. Thanks all, hope to see you!

Game is still fun. What should I be running as a secondary weapon on my prowler these days?

RIP to my beloved emerald I guess? But consolidating American servers probably is the only reason there's so much action still.

Set a stopwatch from when I got in Hossin WG and joined combat without flash or crash method just to see if it was fixed.

Edit:- yeah that timer looks confusing, it's 1 minute 34 😉
