While first-person-shooters like Call of Duty and Halo seem
to be getting all of the attention lately, there are plenty of other games that
let you shoot your friends in the head. One FPS that has been in a closed beta
for quite some time now is Planetside 2. Sony Online Entertainment has recently
confirmed that the massive free-to-play FPS will be released November 20. What
looks to set this game apart from other games in the FPS genre is how big the
map is. Instead of going from map to map, Planetside 2 will have 3 factions
competing against one another for smaller bases and installations in large map.
These areas can be captured, held, and lost which will affect the map as a
whole on a larger scale. While it is a PC-only title, it will still be interesting
to see how well the game can do in competition with other games out there.
