Planet side 2 is scratching my shoot mans itch lately, though in order for it not to suck really hard then you should play with a group and goons are autismal as hell. Still kinda fun though

it really isn't and people need to stop saying any f2p games is "pay2win" because not all of them are

I mean it isn't really great but you don't get advantages from paying money other than unlocking mechs earlier unless they've changed something since I last played it 5 months ago

Last I heard, the default mech is awful and you either have to grind or pay money to get anything good.

Saying something isn't pay2win because you can get the thing that lets you play the game for real by grinding for a million years is stupid.

Saying something is pay to win because it's possible to buy things is also stupid

That's not what pay2win means or what I was trying to say dumbass. Maybe if I said TF2 was pay2win you'd have a point, but I didn't, and it's not, it's just a boring turd.

No, you just said a game that you apparently haven't played, and don't know anything about since you said the default mech is bad, to get a totally sweet burn in.

There are a lot of problems with hawken and that's why I quit playing it, but unless it was changed recently you don't get a bunch of really clear advantages from the different mechs, they just play different. Hell when they made the first "tier 2" mech that you could pay for or grind one mech forever for a bunch of people pointed out it was actually worse than the base one. MWO's more pay to win poo poo than hawken is.

The default mech is actually really really goddamn good.

Also yeah as the post above me says, the first tier 2 mech was actually worse than the base model. Hawken is one of the very few f2ps I don't think is p2w in some way.

In that case, Hawken is probably more worth playing than MWO.

Yeah but half the maps are bullshit stealth segments that are clearly not designed for more than one or two players and if you fail the stealth they're super loving hard because the alarm never goes off and you're equipped with silenced stuff and suits instead of shotguns and armor.

Also the card system is lol

Just don't stealth, there's only like three heists that are stealth or bust. Shoot mans

E: also yes its not designed for two people duh get some friends

Card system does suck but its really easy to hack it client side to get everything with zero chance of punishment. I know thats lame excuse but it works and you get to enjoy the game so

No see if you have four players those heists are even worse because two people are automatically a liability because some moron decided to put in some stealth levels designed for one or two players in a game that is otherwise designed for shooting guys with four people.

Also you can't easily pick what level and difficulty you want to play so sometimes we end up going on a lovely heist because we're too impatient

Edit: Basically if I wanted to have a lovely time all day waiting for something fun to happen I'd go back to Planetside 2

Oh yeah misread there sorry. They added in a thing awhile ago called contract broker where you can pick what heist and difficulty in exchange for some offshore money.

Not gonna dispute that PD2 is broke as gently caress tho i still enjoy it despite the broke things. Hoping their overyhyped timer thing they have going is a big overhaul of the game for the anniversary.

Is planetside 2 ok? I've been thinking about getting into that. I'm a horrible sperg if that helps with a reccomendation

It's pretty fun as long as you're in a group.

Regardless of what goons say, with a few exceptions, the pubs aren't bad and joining a random squad can be okay. Also pubs don't have all the stupid rear end drama goon groups do.

It gets kinda old after a while and there's still balance issues, though.

Nah, that isn't really true. You can unlock things you want relatively quickly. It's the mods and poo poo that take forever.

It is a lot better for cert gain if you have a subscription, though.

It's alright but there's long stretches of nothing particularly interesting happening. Also for a game that takes place in space in the far future of whatever year, every single gun sure does shoot ordinary fuckin bullets
