I've heard almost all positive things about Planetside 1, but what were the negatives? Did it have the same balance/zerging problems as PS2?

  • In 2018, PS2 runs and looks worce on the modern hardware than in 2013 on old hardware.
  • Some of NC and VS guns are OP, and its stays this way since release. See "NC MAXes" threads, for example.
  • There is game breaking bugs on the regular basis - PS2 have no beta test team at all for years.
  • People farm k/d and certs, and not kare about objective or territory control at all - because there is no much reasons and incentive for them, but k/d stat in the game API is here.
  • There is very lov incentive for leadership, too much headache, wasting of nerves and time, and too low reward. Simple k/d farming is giving more fun and rewards.
  • Some random, bloated, ego-centric persons with padded k/d like to call themself "salty vets" here.
  • Netcode and hitreg suck very often, especially at EU servers - DGC not going to pay for good hardware and Internet broandband connections for EU servers.
