Me: "Which faction should I play?" Joshino: "The Terran Republic is often compare to the Empire (Imperium) from 40Kk, and... Me: "FOR THE EMPEROR! PURGE THE UNCLEAN!"
I think a lot of players join NC because they think that they are for freedom, even though looking at the lore shows them to be a bunch of mercenaries and are pretty much just a corporate army.
Ikr, finally someone else who knows this. It really irks me when someone assumes that NC is "space America" because they're not. Just because the US and the NC both had rebellions doesn't mean they fought for the same reasons. American patriots fought for freedom from Britain, but most NC soldiers fight as mercenaries, expecting pay from the massive corporations they work for, according to the lore.
neotronextrem Yes, soldiers in the Continental Army were paid, but they didn't fight entirely for the money. I'm sure a few of them fought for purely money, but not the majority of them.
nice one! that got me. and @hexagonal. no we would have orderly border processing posts at exact intervals. and if anything moved, that's more than 100 meters away from said posts. We would just blast the area with enough gunfire to level a small hamlet. hope that clears things up for you.
switch around VS and TR and you'll be correct because the VS are communistic space scientists that really like spandex and lasers while the TR are earth worshippers with honor, loyalty and tradition as their main slogan
Rasmus Ling And it's because the newer players choose them so they get the noobs (no offense) who are new and don't know what they are doing so they just shoot whatever moves and end up killing teammates. Plus newer players don't tend to burst fire so if a friendly passes in front of them they will kill their teammate because they are rapid firing.
+Eun Sik Park plus nc stands for freedom... I get ppl who tk headshot me with a sniper just cuz there are no enemies in sight and they reply with this. "FREEEEEDOOOMMMM"
VS: Crazy spandex wearing "scientists" who are waaay too obsessed with aliens NC: Think they're the good guys, but are actually working for companies that commit acts of terrorism. TR: Actually the good guys, but have REALLY shitty PR
Terran Republic is Vader and his crew. I'm still waiting for space ships update so we can get to work on our space station... uhmm.. I mean "Moon" Join the dark side... and get a free cookie!
Froztarlozt only because the TR has a habit of coordination and overpop in many battles. it can always change depending on the servers dynamics xD but i do main for the TR and i do yell "for the emperor!" alot.
That's why I chose them the first time thinking how cool they look. Also they do have a Halo spartan looking armour and an ODST looking armour but you have to fight all 3 factions 😂 I fight for Terran Republic now...
Honestly, I really hate the Planetside 2 lore. By that I mean they really butchered the old Planetside 1 lore which was far more interesting. In planetside 1, the wormhole doesn't have a sudden catastrophic collapse killing half the expedition (such a f*cking cliche...). Instead, the wormhole stays open for hundreds of years and Auraxis becomes just another Earth colony. The Auraxians recieve supplies and transmissions from Earth on a regular basis. Eventually though, communications become less and less regular, untill they sieze completely. THEN, the wormhole actually collapses! This is far more dramatic! Why? Because now you have a sense of danger, not just for the Auraxians, but for the people on Earth as well. Why did communications become less frequent before the wormhole closed? What happened to them? This gives a whole other motivation to the Terran Republic to want to end the war quickly so that they can find a way back to Earth, which by now could be in grave danger! For all they know Earth could be under a full scale invasion! Maybe the wormhole was just a trap to split humanity's resources in half? Another thing butchered in PS2, is the actual planet Auraxis. In PS1, they didn't have to Terraform it (another cliche). Instead, the planet was already 100% suitable for human life. This was (realistically) very strange, and begged the question if some alien civilization had intentionally planed for their arrival. The Vanu Sovereignty see this civilization as their saviors and accept their gifts and technology without question, while the Terran Republic feel fear and suspicion over the whole situation (this gave them an actual reason to fight eachother, unlike in PS2). Even more mysterious was the fact that the entire planet was covered in plant life, but did not have a single sign of animal life, not even bacteria! (meaning no risk of diseases, which gives a realistic explenation to how they can survive on Auraxis.) The PS2 lore did make some pretty cool changes, like adding an interesting element of zealous religion to the VS, putting more focus on the capitalist side of the NC and establishing big political leaders. But without the elements I mentioned, it just feels like they sucked all of the mystery out of it. Without the looming fate of Earth or the mysterious nature of Auraxis, it just feels like any generic space setting. It doesn't feel alien anymore! There's no questions or sense of wonder. Am I really the only one who feels this way?
They hired a writer for the lore, and like other things they spent too much money on shit that didnt matter. They couldnt afford him after the idiotically overdone trailer they had made so they had to let him go.
just wanted to say, from what I've heard the VS and TR are at war because after the first hostilities between the republic and the NC there was a peace talk, and the VS thought this would be a good time to declare their independence...by shooting up the conference! thus both side thought they had been set up, war started up again and only a few weeks later did both sides realize that the VS were their own separate entity. but war had already began and so it just continued on. As I say that's what I've heard. but I do agree the PS1 lore is more interesting.
***** Physically above 18, yes. Mentally? Around 6. I know how AoD operates, if that's who you mean. And besides, they're on every faction. They don't practice anything as complicated as "tactics." Just a massive mob rush.
Love the VS - I like to pilot my scythe and it just has the manoeuvrability to out turn the other ESFs (in my mind at least). I also enjoy my no bullet drop sniping - always fun times.
Haha I love NC but for totally different reasons, I like the cosmetic style, weapons and the engineering based mercenary feel. I also hate shotguns which isn't very nc of me xD
This is what they say they fight for. In reality, TR, we fight for authoritarian control NC, we fight for money VS, we fight for cult ideals and indoctrination
In my opinion. Best faction, Terran Republic, TR. Best Main Battle Tank. Best Empire Specific Fighter. Best Anti-Armor Vehicle weaponry. Best Harasser Weapon Best Empire Specific Rocket Launcher Best Headshotter weapons (due to the highest rate of fire) Best Empire Specific Starting Pistol.
Just wanted to mention that, at least on Genudine, the PS4 player base favors TR, not NC. I main NC and it frustrating to have to fight against constant TR overpop while rarely getting to fight VS because they are criminally underplayed. PS4 TR, pls switch to VS and help even out the factions!
TR players - Highly organized or honestly just the exact opposite for shits and giggles (or folk changing factions to break apart a TR encampment from the inside out.) NC players - Insanely good at thinking on their feet with weapons and music that reward their bravado. "Blue on Blue" is a term that actually works with them. VS players - Majority are whiny tryhards that are only concerned about a KDR. They will let station after station fall and not give a single damn because they got a 20/2/15 with their heavy assault/max. Then there's those 5% of VS players that have literally been there from the start...
not true lol TR are extremely whiny and NC are extremely easy beat. that thing u said about vanu and KDR is more true for NC. Vanu are just either meme teams or groups of people working under semi navy seal levels of cooperation
I'm not sure what that's supposed to demonstrate, gaining levels by collecting XP is not an indication of difficulty. ReconDarts is BR109 with zero kills just putting darts all over the place. Basically if you think the bullshit you said makes any sense you must be an NC.
NC for teamwork and.. teamkilling.. TR for zerging and guns made out of tin cans and duct tape.. VS for kids that think they are Super1337awesomeamazinglonewolfplayers who are really crutching on guns with no bullet drop.
as a vanu main that has also played the other factions, the bullet drop advantage doesn't really make much of a difference except when sniping. and not even with all of the snipers, some still have substantial bullet drop. also, contrary to a what a lot of people think, our guns and snipers don't have 0 bullet drop, though they have very little on some weapons
Just dont pick the NC. It only wins maximum 25% of the alerts. Their weaponery isnt worse than the other factions but more noobs are playing it so they are bad.
I'm not sure how it goes with other factions (and servers), but NC on Cobalt has some good players, but more often than not you will find yourself surrounded by noobs (I've played TR for more than 30h, and the density of noobiness, I've encountered, was a bit lower). Today I was defending twin towers base on Esamir (I think it's called someones redemption, but I'm not sure), and the enemies held B and C points (that are in the other tower than spawn room is), and I found myself in hell... I was literally the only person (of 24+) that was trying to get to those B and C points. Yeah... I even killed EVERYONE on the path, and died on the point, alone, because those noobs were just sitting in the spawn room and shooting from behind the shield (and yes, I was in there cone of vision, whilst running). And I forgot to metion, population in this base was almost perfectly even. I sometimes wonder, how did some people get battle ranks 80+, and the only answer I can think of is throwing ammopacks and spawncamping (and that addresses also players from other factions). To sum it up, if you are new to shooters, or brain damaged, pick VS or TR, this way you will be able to win more fights, by balancing population skill a bit. Sorry, but the salt is real ._.
I play Vanu but they don't feel that strong. I mean the lack of bullet drop is nice at long range but it sorta loses the point if the damage just turns to cheese lasers. That being said they have neither the fastest shooting or strongest hitting weapons. My feelings at least.
It's a lie. Vanu has bullet drop. The only weapons which don't are the plasma ones - lashers, PPA, aphelion, lancers, etc. And those are mitigated by being either very slow to fire, very slow projectile speed, or very inaccurate.
gamer9974 i rather be a black and red ladened stormtrooper that guns down rebel filth then a techno masochist in bright purple and sticks out on a hill like the crystals of esamir.
NC - Walmart Rebels TR - Galactic Republic/Empire VS - The Men in Tights Mbt's VS - hovers and goes anywhere with boost NC - 1000 more hitpoints then other two TR - Lowest muzzle velocity/damage per shot but fires twice makes itself immobile to increase gun velocity Fighters TR - 0 traits NC - goes into hover slightly faster VS - thin front and side profiles very wide body Heavy weapons TR - mini-gun - useless in 1v1 due to spool up, low damage, with bad accuracy VS - Lasher - slow firing with decent aoe splash damage rifle to hit enemies behind cover NC - jackhammer - a Shotgun that will drop any infantry unit with 1 click of its super fast 3 round burst faction Guns TR - 40 round mags, low damage, high fire rate, average recoil, high drop, low accuracy NC - Highest damage, high recoil, medium-low fire rate, medium drop, medium accuracy VS - Medium damage , medium fire rate, (sometimes)no ammo, low-no drop, low recoil, high accuracy Max's NC - linebacker shield and shotguns that ohk infantry VS - increased damage deal and recieved with space lasers TR - immobilized for fast reloads and has large magazines can we see why TR is always the least played?
id say it was fine, but when you were talking about weapons and other stuff, you could have put a picture showing what are you on about, maybe briefly go through the shops
Gaming With Dubk yeah it takes time, moreso getting an appropriate picture of the weapon with important stats, which you have to screenshot out of the game or find on the net and then find correct placement in the video so its readable and isnt over half the screen
I agree. I'm downloading the game as a 1st time player and the video is just more confusing. Some on screen visuals with pros and cons would have been much better.
It depends on what server you are playing since the game inevitably devolved into constant double teams. On Emerald(East Coast Server) Don't play NC. On Connery(West Coast Server) Don't play TR. On Miller(European Server) Don't play VS.
As I excel in a support role, I play Terran Republic. I love their high rate of fire and high magazine capacity. One thing this guide didn't mention was how the TR aircraft can hover, giving them the best ground support aircraft. The VR have the best air supremacy fighter and NC have the most tanky aircraft. I won't forget the time no matter how many rockets or bullets I pumped into a NC Galaxy it didn't look any more damaged then a second ago.
I just remember the first phrase that immediately drew me to my favorite faction, and that was "technology equals might" as I watched one of the PS2 trailers back in 2012 :)
Sam Nunn Man, I am TR and I wanted to switch server for better outfits. (The old veterans left my server kinda) But I hate the fact that gear that you have to purchase with REAL money can't carry over! Like what the fuck man? And if I play Vanu, I gotta buy a lot of shit and camos to be able to really good as Vanu. I also have 3 accounts, but once you start maining one and spend money on it, you can't really spend much time on the rest.
I like it how all the kids discuss what the best faction is xD No faction is the best or worst, every faction has its own pros and contras! Pro TR: The Vulcan. Contra TR: Not good weapons(infantry) Pro NC: Very good Tanks and infantry weapons Contra NC: The empire specific weapon(jackhammer) sucks. Pro VS: Very accurate weapons and the scythe. Contra VS: Very Bad tank. Hope it helped :D
my general feeling: TR: teamwork, "victory is our only option". firepower VS: tactics, "eliminate all treaths". move from cover to cover, engage NC: numbers, "PLANETSIDE 2 BABYYYYY" *rock badass music* FUN. just placing 50 sunderers in the middle of nothing still NC for life, so much fun, you feel like playing with friends even if they are strangers
To me you can tell NC have the best armor already if when creating your character they already have some armor pads, unlike the TR and VS. And besides, no one is coming to Planetside 2 looking for which faction has the fanciest, beautiful, attractive armor. They're looking for the heavy, strong, powerful stuff, which is the NC.
DIY Dylan Yea no, NC is horrible, if you are looking for a good faction, it's either VS or TR. I'm saying this because they are attacked the most and on average only win a continent 25 percent of the time.
Just a small thing on the no bulletdrop on VS weapons. The VS no bulletdrop doesn't apply to bolt action sniper rifles, which would benefit the most from this trait since they are the best guns for long range combat. Besides, you won't have much problems with bullet drop untill you are atleast 100m away or are using a silencer (which gives 40% slower bullet velocity, thus more bulletdrop). So in most cases you won't notice the bulletdrop in the game and in most cases you don't have to worry about it.
Not sure it's best, but VS is easiest and likely the winningest. NC is hardest (not sure, but I think they might be the losingest, too). So, maybe, the TR is best (those fascist red bastids).
Zach Z good all factions can use dedicated support. K/d doesnt matter so much when XP makes the certs. the guass rifles are just magnetic accelerated projectile weapons.
Your right and on paper the Vanu are a balenced class. N But i stand by what i said when i say that every one who gets good at this game only plays Vanu
Nice to have included the typical "clichés" of each faction at the end since newer players are going to deal with it more than the actual lore of their faction :D
TR - Dictatorship NC - Democracy VS - Socialism Oh and I'm not just saying nc are for democracy because I'm NC I actually main Vanu lol, I think the TR look the most badass though.
Me: "Which faction should I play?"
Joshino: "The Terran Republic is often compare to the Empire (Imperium) from 40Kk, and...
Me: "FOR THE EMPEROR! PURGE THE UNCLEAN!"
Yeah thats what I thought when I saw them. LOYALTY AND PRIDE!
Terran Republic for best infantry-killing weaponry.
New Conglomerate for explosives and spray weapons.
Vanu Sovereignty for spandex and lasers.
The TR have no range on most weapons. NC kick their ass at any range.
Basically everyone kicks TR's ass

You forgot to mention that NC also has the highest team killing rate... That might help some people choose if they are stuck.
Well its no wonder why nc has the highest team kill ratio. Their guns does way to much damge :)

I play all three factions, but my main is TR and always be.
Same
I play TR. Since 2012. ONLY TR!
TR players - Highly organized or honestly just the exact opposite for shits and giggles (or folk changing factions to break apart a TR encampment from the inside out.)
NC players - Insanely good at thinking on their feet with weapons and music that reward their bravado. "Blue on Blue" is a term that actually works with them.
VS players - Majority are whiny tryhards that are only concerned about a KDR. They will let station after station fall and not give a single damn because they got a 20/2/15 with their heavy assault/max. Then there's those 5% of VS players that have literally been there from the start...
not true lol TR are extremely whiny and NC are extremely easy beat. that thing u said about vanu and KDR is more true for NC. Vanu are just either meme teams or groups of people working under semi navy seal levels of cooperation
TR #1
VS #SUCK
NC #SUCK
TR is easy mode, I bet a 10 year old can play TR and get to BR120
I'm not sure what that's supposed to demonstrate, gaining levels by collecting XP is not an indication of difficulty. ReconDarts is BR109 with zero kills just putting darts all over the place. Basically if you think the bullshit you said makes any sense you must be an NC.
+Hej nah VS
NC for teamwork and.. teamkilling.. TR for zerging and guns made out of tin cans and duct tape.. VS for kids that think they are Super1337awesomeamazinglonewolfplayers who are really crutching on guns with no bullet drop.
"NC" and "teamwork" just can't be in the same sentence...
as a vanu main that has also played the other factions, the bullet drop advantage doesn't really make much of a difference except when sniping. and not even with all of the snipers, some still have substantial bullet drop. also, contrary to a what a lot of people think, our guns and snipers don't have 0 bullet drop, though they have very little on some weapons
+Nate U well, from my experience(and it's not only me) they have the least teamwork and cooperation compared to the others.
Most fights happen at close and med range anyways so bullet drop doesnt have a impact
>tfw when you place a meme filled comment shreking op and it gets removed by salty op.
Just dont pick the NC. It only wins maximum 25% of the alerts. Their weaponery isnt worse than the other factions but more noobs are playing it so they are bad.
right :-) I play NC too and its terrivble
nah NC just takes a bit more skill. I have TR and VS, but they are too easy to play with.
+Krieger987 I detect sarcasm, but in any case, you'll get noobs with all factions and various servers will have different faction Alert win rates.
I'm not sure how it goes with other factions (and servers), but NC on Cobalt has some good players, but more often than not you will find yourself surrounded by noobs (I've played TR for more than 30h, and the density of noobiness, I've encountered, was a bit lower).
Today I was defending twin towers base on Esamir (I think it's called someones redemption, but I'm not sure), and the enemies held B and C points (that are in the other tower than spawn room is), and I found myself in hell... I was literally the only person (of 24+) that was trying to get to those B and C points. Yeah... I even killed EVERYONE on the path, and died on the point, alone, because those noobs were just sitting in the spawn room and shooting from behind the shield (and yes, I was in there cone of vision, whilst running). And I forgot to metion, population in this base was almost perfectly even.
I sometimes wonder, how did some people get battle ranks 80+, and the only answer I can think of is throwing ammopacks and spawncamping (and that addresses also players from other factions).
To sum it up, if you are new to shooters, or brain damaged, pick VS or TR, this way you will be able to win more fights, by balancing population skill a bit.
Sorry, but the salt is real ._.
Really? i fing NC to be the easiest, all NC guns have alot of vertical recoil which is good for headshots.
Nanite Systems is illuminati confirmed
I play Vanu but they don't feel that strong. I mean the lack of bullet drop is nice at long range but it sorta loses the point if the damage just turns to cheese lasers. That being said they have neither the fastest shooting or strongest hitting weapons. My feelings at least.
It's a lie. Vanu has bullet drop. The only weapons which don't are the plasma ones - lashers, PPA, aphelion, lancers, etc. And those are mitigated by being either very slow to fire, very slow projectile speed, or very inaccurate.
Nogitsune true the red guys seem like they always have to op weapons
Nogitsune i play vanu becuse of their default light assault weapon.
Hello sir. I know might be to late. But did you hear about VS LA cult of VS-E Horizon? 😁
You were right about helmets and armor, the TR does indeed have the most bad@ss and high quality helmets and armor in the game
Jarred 42501 TR is a very weird way to abbreviate Vanu Sovereignty
gamer9974 i rather be a black and red ladened stormtrooper that guns down rebel filth then a techno masochist in bright purple and sticks out on a hill like the crystals of esamir.
NC - Walmart Rebels
TR - Galactic Republic/Empire
VS - The Men in Tights
Mbt's
VS - hovers and goes anywhere with boost
NC - 1000 more hitpoints then other two
TR - Lowest muzzle velocity/damage per shot but fires twice makes itself immobile to increase gun velocity
Fighters
TR - 0 traits
NC - goes into hover slightly faster
VS - thin front and side profiles very wide body
Heavy weapons
TR - mini-gun - useless in 1v1 due to spool up, low damage, with bad accuracy
VS - Lasher - slow firing with decent aoe splash damage rifle to hit enemies behind cover
NC - jackhammer - a Shotgun that will drop any infantry unit with 1 click of its super fast 3 round burst
faction Guns
TR - 40 round mags, low damage, high fire rate, average recoil, high drop, low accuracy
NC - Highest damage, high recoil, medium-low fire rate, medium drop, medium accuracy
VS - Medium damage , medium fire rate, (sometimes)no ammo, low-no drop, low recoil, high accuracy
Max's
NC - linebacker shield and shotguns that ohk infantry
VS - increased damage deal and recieved with space lasers
TR - immobilized for fast reloads and has large magazines
can we see why TR is always the least played?
B you need to play on ps4 because they're only TR there and the play like the Japanese in ww2.
It's cool that all factions are balance,but I think some people will agree and is...Buff the Mjolnirrr!
yeah, i Play vs Main. But the mjölmir needs a buff. same goes for ppa. its useless on a Mbt.
I just realized that it isn't which team your on it's how well you are on that team
PAPA VANU RULES!!!!
PURPLE SPANDEX
FUCK YEAH!
Marwan Shamsia hell yeah
Purple Pussy´s
Seriously in depth at the end man! Good job and thanks.
Come on guys, it's just a game. Every faction has its own strong points and weak points.
But the tr have les downsides
DP-28 Probably works for NS trying to sell everyone their weapons.
Wow mate! Very well summarized and analysed. It is definetly a very useful video for any new players and fun to watch for Vererans!
To give some criticism, the video feels a little messy. Could've maybe used some structure.
Triedto squeeze a lot in did have a structure but maybe not the best this time, thanks :)
id say it was fine, but when you were talking about weapons and other stuff, you could have put a picture showing what are you on about, maybe briefly go through the shops
+Jaroslav Procházka it takes a lot to edit videos. But I agree. I still subbed
Gaming With Dubk yeah it takes time, moreso getting an appropriate picture of the weapon with important stats, which you have to screenshot out of the game or find on the net and then find correct placement in the video so its readable and isnt over half the screen
I agree. I'm downloading the game as a 1st time player and the video is just more confusing. Some on screen visuals with pros and cons would have been much better.
It depends on what server you are playing since the game inevitably devolved into constant double teams.
On Emerald(East Coast Server) Don't play NC.
On Connery(West Coast Server) Don't play TR.
On Miller(European Server) Don't play VS.
I joined VS for the stealthy approach and cooler customisation, but I also joined to look at dem spandex outfits on the ladies!
Dont even need to watch: the Answer is Terran Republic
Goodnight everyone
NC are the hardest to master and the least new player friendly
...well someone could've told me....
What cha lookin at?
That's some really good footage there
"The reaver looks like a brick"
The truth has been spoken
Imagine if in-game the VS and NC teamed up to take down a TR base
The spandex people with lazors team up with the badass american with their glorious hard hitting weaponary, i think it would be good lol
am sorry for that ,but it happened now and that y i come to this video i just c red and purple color :(
Yes pls
Love how you described the faction traits and the NC/TR had good and bad things about their weapons, and the VS just had good things.
David Brown The bad thing is that they don't have harder hitting weapons or high ROF.
Talks about NC
Doesn't mention Teamkilling...
"NC have arguably the best soundtrack" ....who the hell would ever argue about that?... :p anyways, nice vid!
TR won the quiz... no surprise
strength in UNITY my fellew red soldiers!
As I excel in a support role, I play Terran Republic. I love their high rate of fire and high magazine capacity. One thing this guide didn't mention was how the TR aircraft can hover, giving them the best ground support aircraft. The VR have the best air supremacy fighter and NC have the most tanky aircraft. I won't forget the time no matter how many rockets or bullets I pumped into a NC Galaxy it didn't look any more damaged then a second ago.
Yo Jos
I'm the captain you my soldier
I just remember the first phrase that immediately drew me to my favorite faction, and that was "technology equals might" as I watched one of the PS2 trailers back in 2012 :)
I play NC because they seam to be a more enjoyable community
yea with all the team killing and stuff
teamkilling=nc
spandex and laserweapons=vs
bulletspam=tr
i personally love the spandexfaction
Vanu ass op pls nerf
Fun fact the Vanu ass has more polygons than the other factions
They have actually nerfed it, True Story!
k nice
New Conglomerate- Freedom and Justice
Terran Republic- Enlightment and Wisdom
Vanu Sovereignty- Chaos and Control
Ernest Playz you got all of them wrong
switch the terrans and the vanu and you'll be right
And with enlightenment and wisdom comes freedom and justice, so Vanu should have NC’s attributes as well
Bro you got TR and VS switched about there and no, Vanu shouldnt have NC attributes as they all worship tech
Vert343 How does all of them worshipping tech make it so Vanu shouldn’t have NC’s attributes (or what NC claims)
"How many tr's does it take to change a lightbulb?.... all of them." A random nc in yell while our platoon was droppin in his base
Nc- Terran
Tr- Zerg
Vs- Protoss
Its weird to see that the terrans are not terrans
Briggs heard a voice and saw a vision saying Vanu . That's why we call the former aliens the Vanu
I think im the only one that has 3 accounts for each faction
Sam Nunn Man, I am TR and I wanted to switch server for better outfits. (The old veterans left my server kinda)
But I hate the fact that gear that you have to purchase with REAL money can't carry over! Like what the fuck man?
And if I play Vanu, I gotta buy a lot of shit and camos to be able to really good as Vanu.
I also have 3 accounts, but once you start maining one and spend money on it, you can't really spend much time on the rest.
I have 3 accounts for each faction too
This is a year old but same, although my Vanu is used more.
Sam Nunn Ye aint the only one here pal.
I’d choose NC because there like a futuristic Murica
They have the highest teammate killing so no
TR = Best teamwork
VS = Best weapons
NC = Best players but lowest population. 1 NC = 10 TR & 3 VC
Cmd Ctrl tbh tr have really good teams but the weapons are werid.
that is really off. NC have highest population and worst players due to a large percentage of them being noobs
Mr anonymous We all Start somewhere
6:09 Okay that looks epic
TR best faction we got leadership on our side and teamwork
TR: Law, Order, Peace; Authoritarian
NC: Liberty, Independence; Anarchist
VS: Advancement, Evolution; Extinction
9:33.... LMFAO good one
Absolutely love this game. We all yelled "For the Emporer" and made the Terran Republic proud.
I like it how all the kids discuss what the best faction is xD No faction is the best or worst, every faction has its own pros and contras! Pro TR: The Vulcan. Contra TR: Not good weapons(infantry) Pro NC: Very good Tanks and infantry weapons Contra NC: The empire specific weapon(jackhammer) sucks. Pro VS: Very accurate weapons and the scythe. Contra VS: Very Bad tank. Hope it helped :D
VS? Very bad tank i shit on vanguard with my magrider
um... the jackhammer sucks?...what... The magrider is a very bad tank? dude
Hi I am Ringbear yep
***** If anything, the prowler is a very bad tank, not the magrider.
Hi I am Ringbear yep
my general feeling:
TR: teamwork, "victory is our only option". firepower
VS: tactics, "eliminate all treaths". move from cover to cover, engage
NC: numbers, "PLANETSIDE 2 BABYYYYY" *rock badass music* FUN. just placing 50 sunderers in the middle of nothing
still NC for life, so much fun, you feel like playing with friends even if they are strangers
To me you can tell NC have the best armor already if when creating your character they already have some armor pads, unlike the TR and VS. And besides, no one is coming to Planetside 2 looking for which faction has the fanciest, beautiful, attractive armor. They're looking for the heavy, strong, powerful stuff, which is the NC.
DIY Dylan Yea no, NC is horrible, if you are looking for a good faction, it's either VS or TR. I'm saying this because they are attacked the most and on average only win a continent 25 percent of the time.
Pro 4670 the NC Are reproducing like rabbits on the Kobalt Server. Often they have like 50% pop in the maintime.
I did not watch the video, but I already know the answer to which faction is the best.
It’s the Vanu Sovereignty
Picked NC only Because I think the guns of the other factions are ugly... Also I like blue...
Actually I really like TR weapons' firing sounds and NC weapons' bullet visual effects. However the looks of the weapons matter the most to me...
and also MURICCA,!!!,!
and also MURICCA,!!!,!
Just a small thing on the no bulletdrop on VS weapons.
The VS no bulletdrop doesn't apply to bolt action sniper rifles, which would benefit the most from this trait since they are the best guns for long range combat. Besides, you won't have much problems with bullet drop untill you are atleast 100m away or are using a silencer (which gives 40% slower bullet velocity, thus more bulletdrop). So in most cases you won't notice the bulletdrop in the game and in most cases you don't have to worry about it.
Not sure it's best, but VS is easiest and likely the winningest. NC is hardest (not sure, but I think they might be the losingest, too). So, maybe, the TR is best (those fascist red bastids).
Actually, NC has CQC advantage and tank advantage, VS has ESF advantage and TR has idk? bullshit advantage? hitler advantage?
The reaver is indeed a flying brick and feels like one when you fly it
I say Terran republic
I love the futuristic alien look on the Vanu
especially the scythe and it's maneuverability
i main Nc medic. i love using a semi auto lomg to mid-range rifle i call the Guss gun /it's not a guss gun, i think/
Zach Z good all factions can use dedicated support. K/d doesnt matter so much when XP makes the certs. the guass rifles are just magnetic accelerated projectile weapons.
Your right and on paper the Vanu are a balenced class. N
But i stand by what i said when i say that every one who gets good at this game only plays Vanu
Nice to have included the typical "clichés" of each faction at the end since newer players are going to deal with it more than the actual lore of their faction :D
Reality:
NC - Republicans
TR - Democrats
VS- Aleister Crowley
So you're saying-
wait, are you a ranger?
TR - Dictatorship
NC - Democracy
VS - Socialism
Oh and I'm not just saying nc are for democracy because I'm NC I actually main Vanu lol, I think the TR look the most badass though.
TR - Military dictatorship
NC - Corporation dictatorship
VS - Technological dictatorship
no. tr are communists.
legokingiscool What's the difference?
I have started with TR, and stick with it for almost 2 years, but now I have NC and VS chars... and I love it all the guns, mbt, esf... everything :)
Better red than dead
Better dead then red
