PlanetSide 2 launches November 20
All the giddy fun of jetpacking, stomping around in mechs, roaming around in tanks, zooming about in VTOLs, and generally shooting faces will be opened up to everyone on November 20, when Sony Online Entertainment's free-to-play MMOFPS PlanetSide 2 will officially launch.

SOE made the announcement during its big SOE Live event in Las Vegas yesterday, also confirming that the swampy third continent, Amerish, will be opened up to players soon.
Though PlanetSide 2 will have optional premium subscriptions and microtransactions, SOE insists that it won't be "pay-to-win." People will mostly be able to pay to get faster unlocks, login queue priority, and the like, though selling consumables like medkits and grenades is somewhat questionable.
To see what PlanetSide 2 is all about, look, here's a showmatch from SOE Live:

Oh noice. I have to say I really didn't like the game at first, but they've really improved it over the months.

They have really cleaned up/improved it on the whole though. If outfits work at launch it should be a hit.

"though selling consumables like medkits and grenades is somewhat questionable."
There is nothing questionable about this, you have got the wrong end of the stick here.
Medkits and Grenades are "sold" but they are for in-game resources (known as Infantry resource) that are earned by actions in game only, not currency that you can pay real money for.
You cant buy a stack of Station Cash and then go buying grenades and medkits, it just doesn't work like that. -

This worth getting? Never played the first, kind of regretted missing out on that

Oh, I thought this was one of those pay once for the game and then nothing monthly.

No, this is one of those games where you're yelling "FUCK YOU VANU!" at 5am on a Tuesday morning.

Some battles, especially the ones at night on open plains, are amazing and beautiful. The base sieges are total dog shit boring and a waste of everyone's time, just walk away from them and find smaller battles for more fun. The engine they use looks fantastic, but there isn't much in terms of longevity for the game itself. A solid week of play and you'e seen pretty much everything, it's just lame weapon unlocks from that point on. Play for free, don't spend money on it.

Been playing it off and on. Can't say I like it that much, which is a shame as I was a huge Planetside 1 fan.
The shooting feels 'wrong' and you die so quickly (and with very little feedback) that it gets frustrating quickly. Running with a solid squad certainly improves is, but those mechanics still feel completely broken to me.-
Think of it more as Battlefield XL. That's what I've heard from PS1 vets anyway.

Get some better speakers, or better headphones, I don't have this problem at all, and after many conversations about the problems in beta, you are the first...so I'm guessing it may have something to do with your system/yes the game...but as you may be alone with your issue, worth looking into.
