New hero has finally got me to quit this game, no way anyone should have the ability to 1 shot as part of a combo, new hero is just stacks of players turning the game into a staring contest while someone ganking you just gets a free 94 damage impale.

The ♥♥♥♥ Ubi? Old shugoki was the only exception

SINCE I CANT GIVE A NEUTRAL REVIEW

hey all im just going to give my worthless 2 cents on what i like and dislike about the game currently, in its current state it is a little buggy, missing quite a few factions from the WW2 Theater but thats just 1 post launch update or Mod away anyway so i dont see it as that big of an issue.

*At its core this game does still retain the Men Of War feel but with the much needed engine and graphical updates, the game runs at max frames without hitches or stutters on the maximum settings.

*Overall the new graphical style is quite nice, bright colors, dark smoke, bullet and shell impacts look and feel weighty howver some of the lower caliber weapons have quite underwhelming effects in my opinion. some devolve into little balls of fire that hardly look like a blast. Flamethrower flames look good however they lack the look of a steady steam of fire and there's typically gaps between the flames with any amount of movement of whatever is firing. Fire is also oddly Opaque? You can see directly through the flames and smoke, a small nitpick but it does mess with any immersion.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS GAME
*Battles are fun and feel alive.

*AI difficulty isnt either a cake walk or getting steamrolled, the AI feels balanced'

*Units and maps look solid, would love to see more urban focus

*Artillery finally feels like Artillery, no more wondering why your 155 can only fire 175M away

*Tank Health bar system, this is controversial, personally ive always hated this as it feels like a lazy balance "looking at you company of hero's" But the context it is implemented in this game does make sense. Unlike Assault Squad 2 you wont put 15 shells of solid shot AP through a tank and its still technically operable. if a tank takes repeated pens that dont kill the tank themselves the HP bar will hard knock the vehicle. understandable since nobody would attempt to use a panther thats had its sides turned into a cheese grater.

*Campaigns,s raids etc are solid. the conquest mode is a nice addition

WHAT I DONT LIKE
* AI seems incredibly stupid at times, rushing tanks and soliders directly to your spawn for some odd reason. in the PvE battalions mode the goal is too capture and hold more territory, but the AI ignores this at times and simply rushes units right to your backline. They dont have a sense of strategy or cohesion. kinda weird since it is indeed a strategy game.

*AI just sometimes doesnt shoot? ive had units set to fire at will and watched enemies cross within 30 feet or so and my guys wont fire till i manually click? I should note this seems like mainly a tank issue, Pillboxes are bugged however, truthfully though it feels like alot of buildings are, Infantry seems to have issues shooting out of buildings they occupy

*The Voicelines.... anyone who has played the US in this game knows. if i have to hear "My butt is covered in grass from all this sitting around doing nothing" im gonna commit rope throat refund.

*Tanks will occasionally turn towards an enemy and then manuever as to show the enemy the side or ass of the tank. ask me how i know. The AI driving them also likes to take very direct routes on some areas which leads to vehicles trying to climb things they cant, get stuck in terrain ETC.

This is a nitpick but having double click attack on a unit makes it automatically suicide charge. Ive now figured this out but i sent many, many squads and tanks to their death because im just used to clicking twice to make sure the order went through.

Spotting. This has changed quite a bit now from MoW:AS2 instead of being fairly generous and most units having pretty broad lines of vision the game has swapped that up for a more combined arms approach where dedicated recon units, hidden infantry matter much more then a sherman rolling through that can see everything. Tanks now have godawful spotting which makes sense but the view area around the tank is rather small. Ive had a sherman with an entire squad on the back of it and a German AT inf managed to walk through a field within probably 30 feet of the tank> went fully unspotted in the open until he fired.
Lack of nations (i still have to add this as it does suck we dont have all the major powers yet.

AIR SUPPORT FEELS WEIRD
not sure really how i feel about how balanced this is, Aircraft die very easily to AA, you can only choose one attack option per run, so only a strafe or bombs, cant do both. Bombs dont really do anything to tanks, the american A20 and its 500kg can hardly do more then damage the track of an IS series tank, On the flip side Aircraft strafing and light bombs are very strong vs infantry as it should be.

Anyways this is my poorly written review, i may return to update it as i get more hours and whatever changes in the future, thank you!

EDIT OCT 29th 4:01 just refreshing this as a new update dropped,

Game reviews are still "mixed" if you look at the negatives though a solid 70 percent of them boil down to "Not MOWAS2 so its bad" Mainly just pissy veterans of the franchise. i think my review still stands pretty accurate.

Also arent the developers of this Ukranian? IF they are yall should be happy we even got this game let alone an update on it!

cant play this solo, just no chance, no friends to play with either, game is great but i simply dont have anyone to play with, nobody wants to teach new players and the only LFG i get are school aged kids that robably shouldnt be playing this lmao

Plain and simple, they havent finished the game yet, they release DLC and partner with a shady company FUNCOM.

The Graphics for this game are still horrible, on max it looks like it was created in 2011. The AI is incredibly stupid and generic, they see you the shoot sometimes you get beamed other times they have stormtrooper quality accuracy. The game isnt nearly as in depth as you think either, late game devolves into jumping around the galaxy to a few copy paste planets all while getting assaulted by the same generic soldiers and drones.

Building is clunky. Gunplay is about as boring and flavorless as it gets, ship combat isnt any better.

Youre better off playing space engineers with mods

im just doing my part, just like Gaijin Wargaming is blasting this game with awful un-asked for changes that make it impossible for players who dont pay real money to progress or have any fun.

If enough of us leave a negative review and our 2 cents opinions we will eventually get change.

also ffs balance DDs and subs. use CA and BB players are tired of getting eaten alive all game

Its alright, maybe im not givinf the game much of a chance but here is why i personally don't like the game,

Graphics are lackluster even on the highest settings.
Game even at 144 fps just doesn't feel smooth on my pc i dont know how to describe it.
AI is easy to fight, too easy.
Game is actually very simple, fly here kill things search box leave.
Ship combat has no real purpose, ive had a few dogfights and most players seem to just disable you and fly away.
I feel like i've seen all there is to offer as fare as weapons, in my first 2 hours i have already gotten full heavy armor, a few modded guns from a nice thompson to a heavy mg42.
Ships have no real utility, i bought a heavy cruiser and it really changes nothing apart from im now slower and a bigger target.
Locked doors are simply solved by lock picks, no special keys needed like Tarkov.
PVP is very easy, ive yet to die and killed 22 other players as of writing this, maybe my guns and armor is better but some people who shouldve killed me somehow i lived.
No real sense of progression or things to look forward too, im level 19, havent gotten anything from leveling up, no cosmetics, rewards, nothing.
Trader system is weird, instead of having mulitple traders to pick from you have to wait 15 min for one to walk off and another to pop up, all with lackluster gear that 95% of it is unavailable due to the reputation requirements.
the quests suck. go here, stand there, read this. all ive seen.

TLDR Game is too easy and lacks any real depth, feels unrewarding, very tedious. Wish i had bought off STEAM instead of ♥♥♥ so i could get my 30 dollars back, this is a 15 dollar game if anything.

There is under no circumstances why i would ever tell anyone to download and play planetside 2.
The game is and always will be a performance hellhole, even running on a 3070ti paired with 32 gb ddr4 ram with a Ryzen 9 5950 the game runs like utter garbage even on low settings.

The game is very hostile towards new players as in nothing is very clear and you will join into battle not having any knowledge of what to do, where to go, how to play the game past shooting basically. and im saying this as someone who plays escape from tarkov regularly and anyone who knows tarkov knows jut how unforgiving it is. arguably id say this game is worse becase there is no "getting good" its a point and click FPS not a tactical squad milsim shooter. if you dont have the guns only the 1000+ players have you simply cant fight in planetside


The good weapons are behind a paywall. i unlocked 8 different guns on my Terran mercenary and every single one of them no matter how close, how far, how much i paid attention to not holding down the trigger they all suck. no amount of shot placement or knowledge helps you when some dude thats level 2400+ has an endgame weapon and melts you with 3 bullets while your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AR dumps 17 into his chest and neck and still doesnt kill him.

Vehicles are hot garbage, you can use the baseline terran tank with twin barrels and get direct hits on a single infantry player and it wont even kill them. then you get jumped by a MG squad and you watch your health dwindle away.

Aircraft are hot trash. they are irritating to fly and again a baseline aircraft cant compete with someone whos been at the game for 12 years with far superior weapons you simply have no chance against.

Its painfully boring, you would think a game as large and something thats had so much time to grow with every update would be entertaining right? Wrong. you will spend ages wandering aimlessl, getting dumped on by people you have no chance of fighting over and over and over again. the maps are bland even with the most recent update adding the one tropical area.

The most captivating moment was seeing one of the flying warships for the first time which was excitng for the first and only time.

I truly dont understand how anyone could play this game for over a decade let alone even a week. Would not recommend

absolute dog**** game was alive for maybe a month and a half, low content, everything was legit bugged, now the devs have left it to rot and took my 40 dollars with them, they deserve to be sued for the sheer number of people they essentially stole money from

Great Game!

But here is why im writing a negative review, ive played fully through the forest and have just finished it, No Spoilers! And im left really confused and kinda at a loss, i mean i understand the ending and what happens but there's really no story, you hop cave to cave finding different pieces of gear and slowly stumble across random POI's which give clues as to what is happening.

Anyways ill get to the positives
* Very Beautiful Graphics
* Well Designed Audio
* Smart AI that work against you have have emotions, running to water when burning, crying, fear etc
*Rather Fun Gameplay Loop, building is interesting enough to easily do for hours alone
*Interesting POIs and random camps with storytelling elements
*Game runs rather well on high settings Specs* Ryzen 9 5950x AMD 6600 GPU 32GB DDR4 RAM does have slowly worsening performance which is fixed with a reset
*Fun and bloody combat, the brutality allowed almost makes you think youre the bad guy sometimes

However the game does have some drawbacks
*Missing features from the first title Such as
*leg, arm, torso effigies,
*Bonfires
*Fishing poles (if i am wrong about this correct me but ive seen every POI and played through)
* Other forms of traps
Back to non-missing features
* Game is rather short, over 5 days i sunk 18 hours in and beat the game
*No AI speech apart from 1 single line toward the end
*Confusing ending, Cliffhanger but has no after credits scene, no hints at a follow up
*This may have well been a full release, there isnt much they could do as far as updates goes
*Performance issues in the form of slowly worsening fps, possible memory leak?
*Not much replayability, i mean i could see myself hoping on to build a base, kill some cannibals and get off. not much past that
*Truthfully i expected more than what this was map and story wise, wasnt super unique.
*Game was Delayed 2 times and was still released early access
