[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (2 children) Planetside 2, for me. It was never perfect, yet it's basically dying of old age. I think that's quite an achievement for an MMOFPS. And I'm pretty sure there will never be another game like it, at its scale (and Foxhole doesn't count IMO). permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 4 months ago Planetside 2 at its peak was such a cool and unique experience.

My username (not this one) is in the RecordSmash official post recognising the 1158-player world record. The Daybreak takeover was concerning, but we pushed through. But realistically I just "accomplished" everything I reasonably could have, and then they took my server away from me. My time with the game ended, but I have no regrets. What a phenomenal experience it was at the time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) I miss the days of Briggs' undefeated Server Smash streak. I led a squad in the first three-way smash (not this username) and I still remember what a rush it was. I eventually got to a point where I had reached BR100 (before they increased the cap), the server population was dwindling, and I just wasn't having fun any more so I drifted away from the game. I don't regret the time I spent with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] caurvo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Ah man now I'm curious.
