Is this news? No, but it should be. Any time the FITES crew seeks to amass a large army of players, the world ought to know about it.
Announcing a coordinated game weekend for
May 10, 11, and 12, we're calling on all able bodied gamers to load up
Planetside 2 and join us in the battlefield.
If you've never played Planetside 2 before, imagine it as the most massive never ending game of BF3 you have ever played. Classes, vehicles, massive maps, hundreds of players, and C4 hijinks. Best of all, have I mentioned that it is
FREE TO PLAY?
So here are some things to know going into this. Currently a lot of our players already have characters on the Vanu faction on the Watterson server. So if you are new to the game, make a character there and join us. Don't worry about this forever limiting your options, you can make new characters on other servers if you like, but the best experience is in playing with A LOT of people all at the same time.
Some people may have frame rate issues. This can be due to either a series of patch updates or you may need to modify a file that determines your render distance.
Here's a guide to help you out with that.
Planetside 2 is a pretty massive game with a lot of constant updating. It's hard to keep track of every little change and explain everything all at once, but here's a
playlist of videos made by Levelcap Gaming that has some guides, explanations, and frag videos. It's not a complete telling of everything, but it gives you some basic help with it.
We're going to do our best to fill out some squads and send people on multiple tasks. It's tempting to lone wolf it, but coordination and strategy will help out, especially if defending a "zerg rush" of enemy players. To that end, be sure to join us on our Team Speak Server. And for the love of God, there are no spies, but there is Friendly Fire! So don't spy check your team mates! And don't let me see an entire squad of infiltrators either!
