    Honestly there second someone starts talking during a game I just go and mute them. 99.9% of the time it’s really annoying. Once in a while you get someone who actually knows what they’re doing and talking about, isn’t a dick, and actually gives good advice or help. But that happens so rarely it’s not worth it

      Adding a bit of an anecdote, I’m not good at games but when someone (be it friend or foe) is leagues worse than me I give them advice

      For example I’ve been getting back into planetside and this level 7 was trying to kill me as an infantry unit with a rocket launcher (anti tank weapon, can’t one shot infantry) so even with my crappy aim I dispatch him without so much as a nick to my shields. So I send him a direct message that the rocket launcher is for tanks and he should use his LMG for infantry battle

      Basically help your newbies

        How is Planetside in 2024? I never was really good at it, but I liked the coordination or when a full platoon was assembled and dropped on a hot spot.

          I’ve been playing for about a few days since I stopped playing about a year ago and it’s decent

          I have a few alright fights and some good ones, standard planetside stuff. If you ever wanna hit me up here’s my abomination of a name and flop is spelled with a zero not an O if your on Connery (us west)
