PlanetSide 2 Official Trailer -- Epic First Person Shooter! 

should have been a movie where the main character is stuck on a bridge for 2 hours trying to take the crown.

How light assault see themselves.

This trailer is actually a very accurate gameplay representation. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter if you're able to 1v30 an live, it doesn't matter if you have an above 10kd, it doesn't matter how many million times better than him you are: the invisible-one-hit-man will cheese you with his 1hit knife or bolt as soon as you stand still for a split second.

So TR and NC fight each other while VS take the win. Looks like actual gameplay to me.

surprised that vanu killed the nc in the end, usually its nc who kills nc.

The guy is the pod wasn’t premium, he was waiting in the queue

7 years later and this trailer still holds up

9 years after this trailer was released and its still one of the best trailers I've seen.

when your rage breaks and you start slattering people left and right and you go through all of that for a measly 5 certs

*That* *feeling* *in* *PlanetSide* *2* *when* *you* *are* *charging* *the* *enemy* *with* *50+* *soldiers* *by* *your* *side*, *not* *including* *the* *numerous* *tanks* *supporting* *you* *and* *air* *force* *flying* *above* *you.* You feel *_Invincible_*

Holds the Guinness World Record for a never-ending barrage of carnage in an FPS futuristic battle on a giant world of 1000+ players. Huge numbers of losses occur as three teams clash and throw wave after wave of infantry, tanks & planes to capture fortresses. When you and your team finally get to capture the entire map, you carry a sense of accomplishment with fellow players that is unmatched in the FPS genre. The game is downright amazing.

This trailer still holds up in 2023.

2:44 Extreme Menace Kill 300xp

"War doesn't determine who's right, only who's left" Awesome line.

10 years later there still isnt a game quite like the absolute mayham and sheer pvp scale that Planetside 2 has.

9 yrs later and the game still feels like this at its peak moments

This facility now belongs to the VS.

That ending, my brain goes straight to "Great, another VS zerg"

NC pros: Freedom. Independence. Con: Corporate slaves TR pros: Unity. Loyalty. Con: Government slaves VS pros: Forward thinking. Innovative. Con: Alien slaves

It's now 2021 and I've been playing solid since 2012. This game is STILL my go to FPS shooter. Nothing like it on the market still almost 10 years on. I never played a game so much in my life compared to this game. All the other shooters are childs-play compared to PS2. If PlanetSide 3 is coming, I hope it will be for PC, consoles and cross play. Keep the same server numbers and you will STILL be king of the MMOFPS genre. Battlefield 2042 is coming out and needs bots just to have 128 "players". Are you kidding me? One fight in a biolab can have 200+ players in just one small section of a contentment. The team behind PS2 have been through hell and back and this game is only getting STRONGER. How many games have you seen last 9+ years and get better? Only the elite.

>when ur lvl 99 and you refuse to die until you get to lvl 100 so u go on a hektic rampage but get killed by some stalker Vanu infiltrator #RELATABLE

planetside 2 would be a good movie

11 years this is still the most epic battlefield MMOFPS trailer out there.

He got 11 certs from that life. Impressive

how is he not getting any frame drops?

1. Spawn beacons can't drop 20 people 2. Vanu has never had 24 platoons ready and in such organization 3. I WISH THAT KIND OF DESTRUCTION WAS IN THE GAME

I love that this trailer displays just about everything you absolutely cannot perform in game but wish you could.

Why aren't the NC guys killing each other? 0/10 doesn't reflect gameplay.

MAKE A FUCKING MOVIE

Wish light assaults could actually do the shit we see in this vid. :D

They make the NC and VS look epic and the TR look like scrubs

C4 fairies really think they contribute this much huh?

Things that are wrong here. 1. Kills took just 1-3 rounds instead of at least ten. 2. None of those TR or NC had shields. 3. He ran through several MAXs and they all ignored him. 4. Hitched a ride on a passing Reaver instead of being roadkilled. 5. Downed an entire Galaxy by just shooting into the cockpit. 6. Survived a freefall from a crashing Galaxy without the momentum killing him. 7. Vanu Infiltrator managed to one hit kill with a knife while still cloaked. 8. And that giant Vanu zerg at the end managed to move in perfect formation without running around like chickens, ramming their Scythes into Magriders, or just generally teamkilling. If only the game were actually like this trailer.

People please don't get too caught up in emotion by this trailer, this light assault douchbag....uh,, I meant , hero,, simply didn't die ,he respawned but unfortunately got ran over by a vanguard later on.

still one of the best games ever

SOE: let's make the most fluent and smooth running fps that everyone can play Budget: interesting

It would be cool if they made an HBO series that models this about three separate protagonists from each faction. They could show the Hipocracy of both sides, the meaninglessness of war, and the horrible truth of combat like that shown in the trailer. They could show the metamorphoses of all these characters as they go from eager youths to hardened veterans. Sort of like the series the Pacific, I would pay to see that, in-fact I already sort of started my own little crappy screenplay because I was so hyped about the idea. maybe someday.

I wish I had a jet pack that lasts more than 2 seconds :(

Been playing this off and on since Corona Virus lockdowns. Such a fun game hope there is a Planetside 3 some day.

i feel so bad for the guy at 1:15 he was just like “hey bro mind if i join ya?” and tags along just to get splattered

I wish I could done *THAT* to a Galaxy...

If only this was in game gameplay

10 years later and this trailer I have seen for the first time is lit!!! The fact that VS always come late in a fight is legit HAHAHAH

Not gonna lie, in 2017 the game still feels like this.

I wish I could do that as light assault rofl.

Planetside 3 will be in 10 years with 4K graphics, 120 fps, 500,000 player servers, oculus rift support, no loading screens, ultra low system requirements and free-to-play! Get hyped!

Crying every time I watch this trailer. Sadly our beloved game comes to a end

It would be cool to see a full-fledged film based on the Planetside franchise, in a similar style, like this trailer.

That ending.... Gotta love science

Ahh. Now if only one light assault could actually take out a Galaxy like that.

holy shit this trailer is better than 100% online games FPS right now

Shoutout to the Soldier on the flash at 0:47 just riding in the middle of a giant battle

>NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY Me: Seems the same

Meanwwhile, chat from the NC Light Assault's perspective: 0:12 (NC Squadmember) That beacon up soon? I'm tired of the redeploy screen 0:25 You killed [TR] x2 0:32 (Protagonist) I'll be there in 2 secs, hold on. 0:36 (Squad) Lol ok I'll watch youtube 1:00 You killed [TR] 1:07 You killed [TR] 1:09 You killed [TR] 1:14 (TR yells) Lol nice c4 fairy noob 1:35 You killed [TR] x10 1:38 You killed [TR] 1:40 (TR yells) Omfg bad pilot 1:42 (TR yells) 1v1 ill rek u skrub 1:46 You killed [TR] 1:53 (TR yells) OP Carver knife fgt u lose 1v1 1:58 (TR yells) Omfg (fellow TR name here) u crashed my galaxy noob 2:04 (NC Squadmember) Dude you're in the station place beacon now! 2:10 (Protagonist) Sec, the indicator's not turning green. Stupid terrain. 2:18 (Protagonist) Beacon up, deploy now! 2:19 (NC Squadmember) K I'm deploying 2:29 [VS] killed you 2:47 (VS yells) Lololol get rekt son 2:57 (Protagonist yells) Wow, Lumine Edge? How about you use something that requires skill next time. Switching to VS Faction Perspective 3:04 (VS Guildspeak) Ok guys I got the footage for our outfit montage 3:07 (VS Guildspeak) Let's go win this alert now 3:11 (VS Orders) Attacking AMP Station with mass Galaxy drop, come join us 3:14 (VS Orders) Also join [outfit name] to be with the pros all the time

The ending actually reminds me of the times in years past when I ran with smaller VS outfits that worked with other, larger outfits. We actually were coordinated, and at peak hours, could roll the NC and TR with ease. I miss those days.

how it feels to chew 5 gum, stimulate your senses

Accurate trailer. NC and TR have a nice little fight. VS comes in with 800 vehicles. Actual gameplay indeed.

This trailer, after all these years, is the most gorgeous trailer in video games.

who still sees this trailer in 2021?

Fun fact, this is a scene of the lore when the Endless War begins. Basically TR believes that they destroyed VS that were in the ARC 10 years before this trailer, but they were hiding and then they show up with a crushing force that literally makes TR and NC retreat to like, territory the size of a Warpgate. This is canon, this is how the Endless War began.

lol i noticed from watching this and playing that the vanu actually fight like this. TR and NC battle it out and when one faction remains from the previus battle and is weker Vanu gose in and be like SUPRISE BITCHES!!! ZEERRGG RUUSH!!! and its anoing as hell xD

I see potential for this to be a movie. If they do decide to make a planetside movie i hope its good.

PERMISSION TO LOSE THIS FIGHT IS DENIED!

Ngl the TR got done dirty in this trailer. Main NC guy is master chief, and the Vanu are the big scary threat.

The first time i saw this video it was 2012. Now is 2015 Oh and,well,I'm still downloading the game

Trailer seems to show how fights normally work out... NC comes banging on TR's door and kicks TR's ass, TR stop them at the next outpost, but then SUDDENLY, FUCKING VANU and EVERYONE gets some pain. P.S. NC player here.

we all need to admit...... this trailer is a master piece. no matter the time you watching this.

*Throws grenade into the tank via the hatch* Me: *tries it* *grenade bounces back* because you can't do it in game , *dies*

This is actually very fitting. Just think about it, the 'hero' here kills about a hundred enemy soldiers, a bunch of carry dropships, and places a beacon for his reinforcements to drop in. Get's killed by a single knife thrust into his stomach. It shows that even the best and toughest of players can still get killed. . . . . . Also I can't help to think that at there end there what the chat would look like in that particular scene: "Noob, you had to cloak just to kill me!" Enemy: "You're the noob for looking up at the sky like that for so long. Next time check your surroundings, noob!" 'Hero': "Lol, when I respawn, I'm gonna kill you!" XD

BECAUSE EVERYONE ON VANU IS AN INFILTRATOR BECAUSE WE CAN! That's actually kinda accurate I suppose...

Planetside 3 when?!? Seriously though. Time for a reboot to an amazing series. From infantry online, tanarus, and cosmic rift, planetside 1, planetside 2, and hopefully planetside 3! TR for life!

over 7 years man.. with this clip my journey get started

Imagine if PlanetSide 2 had destructible environments similar to Battlefield. Think about the destruction for a minute now. Chaos huh? It just reminds me of when I was playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 with my friends and I was in the apache and got hit with a missle, spun out and crashed into a 2 story building but got out of the chopper a split second early before death and landed inside the building alive, and the wall I crashed into was destroyed. Only then to leave two tanks and a squad to advance on me, leaving me to defend myself until my squad of friends came, and we made it out alive. One of my favorite moments from Battlefield, that I wish I could do with destruction in PlanetSide 2.

Except the drop pods would go somewhere completely where you didn't want it to go, hit a fried not galaxy and destroy it. Then, you get killed instantly.

Because he's not a member, he only earned like 4 certs for all that.

First time ever playing this game in 2023 First region I was sent to was that Jungle region and it was nighttime I didn't realize that I'd get straight to Vietnam lmao (I love it)

TR - "FOR THE REPUBLIC!!" VS - "SUPERIORITY!!" NC - "FREEEEEEDOM!!!"

Thanks PlanetSide 2, you have been and still are my ALL TIME favorite WAR FPS game, none come close!!! H1Z1 will be my favorite Survival Genre game when it comes out as well!

One of the most epic trailers ever. 4 years later the game is still quite good.

The dude soars through the damn sky destroying ships and shit. That’s the type of game I’d like for a single player experience.

After exploring through a deep space wormhole, the Terran Republic, a highly centralized oligarchic galactic government which had unconditionally ruled humanity for the past thousand years, discovered a single habitable planet. Not only was this planet suitable for the sustenance of life, but it also already possessed many native, highly developed, and staggeringly familiar flora. The Science Institute named this planet Auraxis. Taking a keen interest in this aberration, the Republic quickly sent expeditions through the wormhole to explore and colonize the planet. Shortly after arriving, the colonists discovered the remains and technology of a lost and ancient alien species - the Vanu (or Ancients). This technology proved to be so complex and powerful as to barely be conceivable to human minds, involving levels of energy previously thought to be physically unquantifiable. This allowed for the quick colonization of the ten continents of Auraxis, the creation of power sources and vehicles for the use of the colonists and, most importantly, it facilitated the development of rebirthing technology. This nanotechnology allowed the Terrans to deconstruct and reconstruct their own bodies, allowing fast transportation across the world. Later on, it was discovered that dead workers could be brought back to life using the technology, revealing a startling new possibility: immortality. Needless to say, the incredible power (and value) of this technology was systemically acknowledged, and despite the scale of the advances made due to the study of the technology, it was also recognized that humanity had not yet even scratched the surface of any future possibilities. Later on, the discovery that the planet itself had been an artificial construction of the Ancients further served to solidify the realization that, if left unchecked, Vanu technology would forever and irrevocably change humanity and its future. Shortly after the rebirthing technology was discovered, the wormhole collapsed, cutting the colony off from the Mother Republic and preventing the return of Vanu technology for proper examination. The Republic authorities took measures to hide this fact, while desperately exhausting all theoretical options for re-establishing the traversability of the wormhole. Meanwhile, as widespread usage of the technology grew, the Republic began to fear the potential repercussions of allowing so much power to be shifted so quickly into the hands of so many people. Namely, it feared that the rebirthing technology and the potential impunity to death, disease, and pain it afforded would cause massive philosophical shifts amongst the isolated population, thus pulling out one leg of the tripod that had sustained the Republic for a millennium: that of deterrence. More generally, the military feared that if utilization of the technology continued to spread, that the other two bases might come away as well: a populace armed with practically god-like power would have very little need of a strong authoritarian body to provide structure and purpose to their lives. Based on these trepidations, the Republic began to restrict usage of the new technologies, and halted all further research and development involving the Ancient Tech. It was too late, however, and their concerns began to materialize earlier than they had expected. As research diminished, so too did hopes of reopening the wormhole. As news of this began to escape the scientific community, general dissension set in. Amongst the populace, a great resultant of the loss of faith in the capability of the Republic (which had always presented itself as infallible) was a split in their loyalties. Two distinct groups emerged: the loyalists and the separatists. The separatists argued that the recent behavior of the Republic was full of obvious knee-jerk moves and over-reactive mistakes. Claiming that the Republic knew its end was at hand, the separatists advocated breaking away and forming a new society, now that their would-be "oppressors" were isolated and without aid. The loyalists countered that the Republic had never been abusive (a claim hotly debated) and had always looked out for its own, and that the Terran people at least owed them continued loyalty on that point alone. Meanwhile, in the intellectual circles and among the scientific establishment, there had long been the feeling that the Republic was ill at-ease with the possibilities of the New Science, and a movement had begun to sequester and conceal as many of the Vanu artifacts as could be feasibly obtained without overt notice. As the Terran demographic continued to polarize, these movements finally came to fruition as the predecessors of the Vanu Sovereignty made their exodus and took with them the research and artifacts they had managed to stockpile over the Auraxian years. Encouraged by this, the separatists seceded, seizing a number of military stockpiles and procuring a small arsenal of military assets: they called themselves the New Conglomerate. In a backlash to this, the Republic declared these two factions outlawed, announcing their intentions to reunify with them at all costs. Shortly after this, war broke out between the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate. Not long after, the Vanu Sovereignty was attacked by the New Conglomerate and dragged into the war.

Why can't people accept that this is a fucking trailer?

One thing I didn't learn when I first saw this video...I saw the jump packs and thought 'Hell yeah, I can fly in this game!' so I became a Light Assault main. No one in my outfit jumps like I do and few can roll knife or carbine as effectively. I saw the NC going ham and thought 'That is awesome, they have Space Murica!' and joined them. But the one, most important thing I didn't take away from this video so many years ago... ...Mother. Fucking. Vanu.

Ok 2 things. #1 PLEASE MAKE THE MUSIC FROM THIS DOWNLOADABLE! and #2 I am glad they made sure they wrote not actual gameplay in the beginning of this trailer, because I play TR and we scrub NC pieces off our boots.

Sadly, shortly after this recording, that NC soldier was banned for the following: Triple jumpjet fuel capacity, one-hit-kill hack, infinite magazine size, and a nasty little hack that allowed him to shoot pilots, drivers, and passengers out of vehicles. what, you didn't think the game would let a carbine shoot through galaxies, did you? and even with an ammo belt that soldier wouldn't be able to carry enough bullets to kill that many people without a resupply. nor would one grenade kill a heavy tank.

Genudine here, I'd cry if I saw that many Vanu reinforcements.

Happy 10 year anniversary

Get this game, its really fun and we can always need new players :)

Thats how Vanu plays. Sitting back with their " Advanced Technology " and their " Shiny Cloaks " and their Hover Tanks and what not.... Stealing Alien Tech. Hope they get probed.

After playing this game every other FPS depresses me lol.

imagine this was the actual gameplay. you just chilling in your galaxy then one light assault came annihilating your squad squad with 13 rounds of carbine

The trailer is still epic and the game is still unmatched, there is no other like it

KILL STREAK!! Life expectancy 3 minutes 10 000 exp, GODLIKE Killer: VanuSexyBiatch Weapon: Knife DMG: 5% Assisted By: TRFTWxXx Weapon: Knife DMG: 95%

Another thin I wanna say is: Just think about it. The guy towards the end gets knifed, and it seems like he dies there, but you just know someone's likely gonna revive him, and the war will go on!

2:42 Theres a spy creepin around here...

oh my god this is fucking epic

The trailer ending is so true, especially on Connery. When the NC and TR are fighting over a base, a VS tank convoy I'm in will almost always crash the party.

Pause at 2:57. The knife in the infiltrators hand is nothing like the regular vanu knife issued back then. The knife resembles Lumine Edge that was added into Planetside 2 ages later.

Planetside 3 please.

They need to make a movie of this game pure action
