100% agree. I was a Briggs veteran for a long time after the peak. My username (not this one) is in the RecordSmash official post recognising the 1158-player world record. The Daybreak takeover was concerning, but we pushed through.
But realistically I just “accomplished” everything I reasonably could have, and then they took my server away from me. My time with the game ended, but I have no regrets. What a phenomenal experience it was at the time.
I miss the days of Briggs’ undefeated Server Smash streak. I led a squad in the first three-way smash (not this username) and I still remember what a rush it was. I eventually got to a point where I had reached BR100 (before they increased the cap), the server population was dwindling, and I just wasn’t having fun any more so I drifted away from the game. I don’t regret the time I spent with it.
Planetside 2, for me.
It was never perfect, yet it’s basically dying of old age. I think that’s quite an achievement for an MMOFPS.
And I’m pretty sure there will never be another game like it, at its scale (and Foxhole doesn’t count IMO).
Planetside 2 at its peak was such a cool and unique experience. Shame it’s withering and dying

Ah man now I’m curious. What faction? We maybe crossed paths. I was dominantly NC in D1RE/SHOK, VS in CIVZ back in my early days.
TR in BOTM, we probably did cross paths since the server wasn’t that big
