PlanetSide 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the original MMOFPS title, PlanetSide. Developed and published by veteran MMO studio, Sony Online Entertainment, PlanetSide 2 will thrust players into a futuristic science fiction FPS setting with a large variety of vehicles, devastating weapons and more.

Unlike current MMOFPS titles such as Sudden Attack and Warface, PlanetSide 2 will not feature battles featuring dozens of soldiers, instead players can participate in epic conflicts with hundreds and hundreds of other players. With over 10 vehicle types available, on land sea and air, players can expect battles of epic proportions unlike anything ever seen in the MMO universe.

PlanetSide 2 will feature enormous game maps, ranging from close-quarters urban battles to open fields and meadows. Every inch of space plays a vital part in the games territory control feature. Players and teams will be able to conquer bases, fuel depots and ammo dumps, all of which have an effect on the persistent game world. Games won't end in a matter of minutes like most lobby-based MMOFPS titles, instead war will wage on for weeks or even months, until teams dominate the entire game world.

PlanetSide 2 is also home to an extensive customization system. There will be 20 basic weapons available at launch, all of which can be totally customized with appearance and stat changing add-dons. The guilds of the game, Outfits, will also be able to customize their own battle gear so that their members can display the guilds colors on the battlefield. The final area of in-depth customization is the character class system. Featuring a free-form progression system, players can choose different skills and abilities from a variety of skill trees and unlock more basic roles as they advance in the game, switching between different roles and abilities at will.
