New to Planetside: Any Tips

[Realmofdarkness]

when you spawn at the warp gate and dont know how to find the battle, try to find a Galaxy outside and jump in. Galaxies are basecly taxis taking you to the front lines.

my simplest rule of Planetside is "If it ain't red, then make it dead!" so far this has never failed me

Be prepared to give up and retreat if the base you are defending is being overwhelmed by tanks. There's nothing more likely to put you off as a newcomer than being repeatedly blasted to bits by tank shells as soon as you step out of your spawn room.

Respawn somehwere else where the odds are a bit more in your favour; the base can always be recaptured later.
