Great Music, great ambience, great & gory slaugther of massive amounts of zombies. Especially with friends one can have hours of fun. Though the game seems to be pretty straight forward at first, it can be become very strategic and complicated if one wants to clear the higher difficulties. Leveling the classes is fun and the perks are interesting, yet it can become a bit repetitive at times.

Some alternative game modes would be AWESOME !

A very solid game with still impressive gory visuals !

Just don't play this game. The game and all it's mechanics are good, but the community, especially the russian (and all this other stuff like polish, ukrain etc.) and arabic players tend to rage, flame, insult and troll. Playing ranked is NO enjoyable experience at all as most of the teams do not cooperate. You even get insulted for simply speaking english because some russians or arabic players feel somehow offended by you not speaking their mothertounge instead of the global language english. Next to that people actively try to ruin your game by team attacking you just to the point they don't get banned but you start the round with 50% hp. Even if you are the top player in the team, people still insult you instead of enjoying the free elo ride. Nahh....they prefer to ruin you and their game, simply because they cannot stand that you are better than them. Just don't buy this game if you are interested in competitive gameplay. Just let this franchise die since Steam did not get a grip on their community for far to long now. Also don't try to argue. Once you have 3-4 russians in your team, they will simply vote you out of the game. I mean...better stick to your comrade who cannot execute simple social behaviour than actually do the RIGHT thing and stick up against insults and slurs.

Cancerous people, cancerous rankeds. I can imagine many better ways to spend my free-time instead of listening to some uneducated prick insulting me while living in his third-world conditions.

A one of a kind rough Diamond.

I enjoyed Planetside 2 since the release and keep on doing so untill it might run entirely out of players one day. Yet, despite many people claim this game would die, this day seems still to be years ahead.

I am always amazed about how dynamic battles can become when once you are in advantage sieging a base just to be flank-attacked by a coordinated batallion of tanks and aircrafts driving you back to the walls of your own base that you have to defend desperately. Hours and hours of hard fights and fun.

This game offers everything a FPS gamer could long for. Massive battles, sneaky stealth missions to disable the enemies defenses, dog-fights, tank warfare, a well executed Squad and Platoon system, high rewards for supporting duties like reviving, repairing, counter-hacking and healing. What ever role you want to play. Just do. There is no limit on what ever kind of weapon and vehicles, noone holding you back, noone claiming vehicles exclusively to them like in Battlefield. This game is purely for YOU to enjoy the way YOU want !!

Yet there are some considerations you have to make, when getting started. The game offers you a fair beginners package of all weapon and equipment needed to fulfill your class. The beginners weapons are all Jack-of-all-trades, master of none, so keep that in ming when you encounter your first enemy with a shotgun up close. Also you have to consider that this game has some ages behind its back and there are people who simply unlocked way more equipment than you have and are better trained in the mechanics of this game. This may be frustrating at first, yet as time progresses, you will grow and improve and so does your equipment. It is not Battlefield, where you can unlock your entire class in a day. This game is designed, as many MMOFPS/RPG, that the players stick to it for a while. Anyone who ever played a MMORPG like GuildWars or WOW will know that becoming one of the best considering the equipment involves time.

None the less, this does not prevent you from beeing able to have fun. Even though your own tank might lack the powerful secondary guns and utility equipment, you can simply jump into a tank owned by a experienced player and use it. People play together in this game and people share their equipment. Simply ask in the world chat and someone will respond to you.

There are days when this game can be frustrating as so many players (300+) at once in a battle can cause net-code implications or it can simply be to much for a single player to process. Rockets fly, more explosions than in a Michal Bay movie and pesky snipers everywhere.

Just remember.....this game is YOURS. If a battle becomes frustrating because you are outnumbered or the region starts to stutter from all the people running around, don't respawn time after time and bang your head against a wall. At those times you can simply swap from the bigger battles into smaller skirmishes of >20 Players and enjoy a much "calmer" match. The maps are HUGE after all and you have 4 entire continents for you to choose. So if you are displeased then take a short break or simply join a smaller fight.

Lastly, if you ever feel that progression is to slow, just join a Platoon and Squad. Usually community platoon leaders use 50%exp boosts to help out their mates, since leaders gain points from every player leveling up during their lead. You will see that this helps your grind tremendously and increases the chances of quality teamwork even further.

Just when you start, create a character on every faction. Play them until level 5 and decide on what faction to stick with (though you can come back to other factions anytime you like - weapon unlocks are faction exclusive though, unless bought with real money). Also keep in mind, that this game REALLY takes a day to adapt to it. You will die a lot in your first hour and this can become frustrating, but the learning curve is exponential and when you only had 0-2 kills in your lifes at the beginning, you can easily go beyone 15+ kills later.

Enjoy your time on Auraxis !

This first person slash game is very entertaining and due to its ass load of different weapons for each class it brings a lot of diversity compared to other games set in the medieval times. Also the combat system with its possibilities to make up ones own playstyle grants you a lot of different ways you can fight and defeat your enemies. The maps look kinda pretty and it's entertaining to complete the objectives. My personal favourite servers nare the Duel servers where you fight your enemies in 1vs1 fights.......on these servers manners matter more than skill.

I highly recommend this game to all fans of the medieval time and this frenchise

If you liked Borderlands 1 you will love this game =D
Very funny and entertaining.

Claptrap ruleZ !
