Cons
Con Non intelligent A.I.
Like a lot of stealth games, all it takes is getting enough distance from a guard to make them forget they ever saw the player. This pulls the player out of the immersion of the game seeing such a non intelligent A.I.
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.
