Actually it might have been more than that, and while I know some of this is essentially seal clubbing, at one point we have 24-48 enemy players on the base making up 76% of the population there, and no matter how bad they are, that is a lot of people gunning for us! Also persevere with the slowish opening to this video, and enjoy what becomes a massacre, while defending a tech plant with no hard spawn point for much of the fight. The tension is real, you’ll hear it in our voices, and THIS is why we play planetside.

We all play on PC mate appart from Max who is considering playing solo on the PS4 when it’s launched because…. I got nothing.
We mostly play Vanu Sov (purple guys) on server Cobalt so if you sign up, that’s where to create your character.
For your first so many sessions be prepared to be bewildered and have no idea what you are doing or why we are doing it. The most important things to remember when playing in the group is stay close to the rest of us and if we say we are “redeploying”, press the “U” key to start a 10 second timer. After 10 secs, we will pick a new fight, this tends to happen when we win or the fight turns shit.
Also, if we’re playing PS2, we are generally on TS as comms make us 10 times more effective as a cohesive unit.

The PS4 version is in beta atm, so it’s only really a PC title at the moment, but even after release on PS4 you’ll not be able to play against the console scrubs from a PC 🙁 It’s a shooter, so we all play it on PC anyway, with Max the only one thinking it’s suited to PS4 (we’re still coming up with theories for that one :)).
Anyway, as Ben says, you need a Vanu Character on the Cobalt server to join us, and TS really is a must. In game comms are unreliable but it’s too awkward anyway for us to use push to talk while in the thick of the action, so TS is what we use. The IP should be around one of these forums somewhere, but let me know if you can’t find it (are you on my steam friends list?).
When you jump in for your first game, it’ll probably help to have one of us there to explain stuff, but even then, you’ll probably be lost for your first few sessions 🙂 It most of us quite a few hours to get the hang of the game, so bear with it 🙂
Play as medic. Max out your revive tool first. Then Max out flak armour. Then unlock rez grenades and bandolier for when your defending. Max out your area regeneration next.
Follow your squad and profit.
