PlanetSide 2 has recently had a major update. We enjoy this game ourselves, so we thought we would bring some information on the update to you.
The PlanetSide 2 Update Itself
There were many balance changes and UI additions. We have gathered a short and quick laundry list of them for you:
- Flashes now have passenger seats and cloaking modules
- The Renegade Shotgun has been added to the flash
- StationCash finally has universal unlocks, something we have been waiting for
- Common items will also be available
- VR Training lets you practice weapons and vehicles
- The respawn and map screen are now one screen
- The map UI has been rearranged
- Members get increased passive cert gain
- Explosive radius from all vehicle based damage sources has been reduced
- Upcoming weapons and other balance tweaks
These are all very useful changes we have been glad to see. In practical terms, the game should flow better. You will have a chance to test things out before spending your hard-earned money on them. But my personal favorite is the vehicle AOE nerf. I was getting a bit tired of swarms of tanks mowing down infantry with AOE shots. I am glad to see it toned down and good riddance to it.
PlanetSide 2 Improves
When we first reviewed this game, it had a fair share of problems. Much of the content was lacking, and it needed optimization. We still enjoyed it fairly well. However since the inception, the team has improved the game greatly. The current version makes the early version look like a completely different game. We revisited it ourselves recently and found it to be quite good. We hope that the team continues to improve the game.
