Planetside Tragedy

Anyway, Planetside 2 is a pretty rockin' game. However, there are some core faults in its design that I hope will be fixed in the (hopefully near!)future.

The first and foremost is that it's extremely difficult to get into because of the brevity of explanations and tutorials in relation to the extreme scale of the game.

It's also extremely difficult to obtain currency for new tools (i.e. guns), and the system doesn't allow you to share currency between characters. Attachments (e.g. scopes, foregrips..etc...) are weapon-specific. For example, if you get a scope for one gun, and different type of gun can also use the scope, you can't attach it to that gun (If you can get a scope for Gun A, and Gun B can use that scope, you can't attach it to Gun B without buying a separate scope.)

There are many parts of the game that are absolutely amazing, but these two points are what I would consider a dealbreaker for the game. If you can stomach those two problems, there is a massive world with plenty of circumstances unique only to the Planetside games.
