Cons
Con Not easy to communicate
Being that this is a Nintendo game (geared towards children), there is no available voice chat in the game, which makes communication and forming strategy all but impossible through the game.
Con Poor tutorial, hard to figure all mechanics out
PlanetSide 2 does a poor job at explaining how to play the game or what anything in the mues do. Equipment loadouts are confusing as well as a minefield of pay items.
Con Pay to win
PlanetSide 2 has pay to win mechanics meant to coerce players into paying for equipment to avoid the extremely long grind it takes to earn anything in game. A brand new player with a deep wallet can customize their gear to their prefered playstyle giving them an advantage over those that opt not to pay.
