Gameplay
PlanetSide 2 is a re-imagining of PlanetSide, featuring the same world and factions, and taking place at roughly the same time period. As in the previous game, it features territory control in an open-world, large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent on foot or in land/air vehicles. The territory system differs greatly from that of the original, being more free-form and based on a hexagonal territory control system. SOE has been taking into account balance issues from the first game. As stated by creative director Matthew Higby, they reward combatants on lower population empires through mechanics such as proportionally increased advancement rates and resources to aid the balance of overall empire saturation on each server as much as possible without force-restricting players from being able to play with their friends.

It is a faster paced game than the original PlanetSide and holds the ability to feature potentially thousands of players. It also features familiar first person shooter elements such as sprinting, iron sights, and regenerating shields. An important aspect is that player skill and teamwork are major determiners when it comes to being able to kill other players and overcome opposing teams. Unlockable skills are available and are stated to only make between a 15-20% difference between any player.[citation needed] The game also features a day and night cycle, meaning that battles happen in different times of day, which actually affects gameplay, as night time provides excellent cover for coordinated attacks.
Combat takes place on the continents of Auraxis which are broken up into many territories. Control of territories can provide bonuses to a faction in adjacent sectors. The mission system is partly automated and partly controlled by players. It provides focal points for players to attack and defend and helps players get into the action quickly.

As a player participates in productive activities, they will earn experience, which will increase their character's battle rank and reward them with certification points. As players gain experience, they will receive more certifications, allowing the player to unlock new abilities or items. These will allow the player to specialize in certain roles by allowing them to improve the weapons, vehicles or tools they use. Many certifications require the player to invest in multiple upgrade tiers of the certification, which will increase how effective the certification is. For example, players can purchase five ranks of Nanoweave Armor, which when equipped will increase the amount of damage they can sustain. Some certifications require the player to purchase prerequisite certifications, meaning a squad leader who wishes to unlock the ability to communicate using voice chat with an entire platoon will first need to unlock a certification to allow them to set squad waypoints. Using the certification system, players will be able to customize how they play using different classes or vehicles. For example, a player can purchase certifications to alter the main function of the Sunderer vehicle, meaning they can unlock the ability to give the vehicle the ability to repair and restock the ammunition of nearby allied vehicles.
Classes
Characters are able to choose from a total of 6 classes, each with their own special ability and use.
Heavy Assault: The Heavy Assault class specializes in front-line combat. They have access to a wide array of weapons, including both the Light Machine Gun and the Rocket Launcher, two weapons that only they can use. Heavy assault also gains access to a special «overshield» ability that grants them a temporary boost to their ability to resist damage. Their raw combat ability comes at the cost of having no support capabilities. According to a report released onReddit by Daybreak staff members in June of 2015, the Heavy Assault class is the most-played class in the game.
Light Assault: The Light Assault class specializes in flanking and surprise attacks. Their special ability is a jetpack, which allows them to circumvent rough terrain, climb hills, and hop over walls and buildings to drop down behind unsuspecting enemy forces. Combined with their ability to drop C-4 charges, Light Assault are devastating against enemy tanks and other vehicles. Light assault can carry carbines in addition to the standard shotguns and SMGs allowed to most infantry classes. PlanetSide 2 game free Download for PC Full Version.
Engineer: The Engineer class is a support class, having the ability to repair vehicles and MAX units, broken terminals, and disabled base generators. They are the only class to have access to anti-tank mines and can place manned turrets that either specialize against infantry or vehicles, and automated anti-infantry turrets. For equipment, they can use carbines, SMGs, shotguns, and battle rifles.
Infiltrator: Infiltrators are a covert stealth class, that can use their sniper rifles to attack from a distance, or, as their name implies, infiltrate enemy groups for closer engagement of targets. With the ability to move stealthily using a partial cloaking device and plant motion detectors or recon probes, Infiltrators are well suited for reconnaissance. They also excel at disrupting the enemy through sniping enemy soldiers from a distance, remaining cloaked in close proximity to the enemy and stealthily taking out targets, or by hacking and hijacking enemy vehicle terminals and base defenses.
Medic: The Medic class is a support class that has the ability to heal and revive teammates. Their ability to revive teammates is very valuable in battles where spawn points are not nearby. They are the only class that uses assault riffles, but they may also use sub-machine guns, shotguns, and battle rifles. Like other infantry classes (except the Infiltrator), they can also plant C-4 explosives. According to a report released on Reddit by Daybreak staff members in June of 2015, the Medic class is the least-played class in the game.
«MAX»: The MAX, which is short for Mechanized Assault eXosuit, is a specialized class that is essentially a blend of vehicle and infantry. MAX units take several of the advantages of infantry, such as small size, the ability to jump, and the ability to enter buildings, and combine it with the durability and firepower of a lightweight vehicle. MAX units are highly specialized, and possess two arm-mounted weapons which can be either anti-aircraft, anti-tank, or anti-infantry. These weapons can be mixed and matched by placing a different one on each arm, which allows for either tight specialization or more generalized diversity. However, MAX units cannot operate vehicles or defensive turrets, throw grenades, or use med kits, and they must be repaired by an engineer rather than a medic. Medics are, however, able to revive a MAX, but their health will be low and still requires an engineer for further repairs. PlanetSide 2 Free Download Torrent.
