There's one rule you need to learn before playing PlanetSide 2 - you are absolutely expendable. Your KD does not matter. You are just fodder in a grand conflict of hundreds of people being thrown at each other to die in a glorious(or less than glorious) fashion.

And that is why this game is so freaking refreshing in FPS market covered with K/D ratio focused shooters that are so obsessed with telling you how great and important you are. Its specifically BECAUSE you do not matter that everything you do can matter - you do not need to "score kills" to be useful and help your side. Teamwork is rewarded. Objective play is priority. You might not shoot someone in the head but you might heal, you might repair, you might build or you might serve as something as simple as a body-shield for your friend who is doing something far more important.

So if you are tired of shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield and want to take part in a glorious giant battles that last for hours, then grab some friends and join in.

You might not score "the kills" in your first time playing, but sure as hell you will have a chance to find yourself in the middle of something mind-blowingly grand.
