Planetside 2

Anyone playing this on the EU servers?

I'm so-so on it right now after a few hours. I really like the concept of large-scale warfare, 32vs32 battles were pretty much the primary reason I loved Tribes 2.

What I dislike so far is that you are incredibly squishy, in the heat of battle you'll often die within fractions of a second, with no idea who killed you from where. I mean yeah, you get a name or something, but more often then not I simply don't know what mistake I made to get me killed, which angle or hidden sniper spot I missed to watch for, and that's frustrating.

And the cert points. This is why I stopped playing Tribes: Ascend, because after a short while it just takes a ridiculous amount of playing to get new weapons. I've earned about 60-70 cert points in a couple hours of playing and that's not gonna make me happy seeing as most of the weapons cost several hundred. That's just crazy. Whatever happened to games where you don't have to unlock your socks and shoes for two hours before you can leave the house?
