This game is the most hardware demanding F2P I have ever encountered, and let me say you betting have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ beast computer to run this

I love the game aside from that.
I'm not really hear to talk about the positives, but more the negatives.

The way this game runs is dreadful. I have a GTX 760 and AMD FX6300 and my graphics care is 6 months or so old, and I can run games that are better looking than this game and run at high FPS. But this game seems to be poorly optimised to the point were I get 25 fps around cluster♥♥♥♥ey areas of the battlefield.
This game needs some more optimisation to make it more playable because even on some supercomuters the game just doesn't run at enjoyable FPS.

The only other serious problem I have with this is the sound system. Many, many time a foot soldier will shoot at me from behind, and it will sound like it's in front of me. Aircraft seems like it's right in front of me, when it's 500 meters away. Footsteps also seem like they are right in front of me and it has gotten me killed too many times

Really it's just cleaning up the game from small problems like optimisation and the sound systems. But the gameplay is incredible if you run at playable FPS.

7/10

Just wanna say, your review rocks! It's so full of insights and cool stuff. You really nailed it

On which quality settings?

Planeside 2 runs fine on high (maybe even on ultra) on my system and it is not a high-end one.

Every game I have OUTSIDE of steam also runs fine. I have Titanfall, Battlefield 4, Battlefield 3, Skyrim (pirated), World of Warships [beta], etc.

It's just this game, you can look at other reviews and see that other people have the same problem.

I meant do you meant if the games in your steam library run well.
Because they are not demanding.

No, just this game, every other game I have runs fine but the poor optimising of this game makes it hard to play

Even if my CPU is weak, I would not want to get an upgrade just to play one game when all other games run fine with it

You have a rather weak CPU.
