Ten years ago I used to play PlanetSide 2 a bit, which is pretty similar to what you descibe. Just gotta swap the RTS-part with FPS :)

But there is war waging back and forth the planetary map, 24/7. Well it was like this when I played, I have no idea what changed since then.

After a while, the constant back-and-forth appeared kinda meaningless though. First it was amazing being part of some coordinated move to take over 2/3 of the map, but the next day it was all gone and the cycle repeated itself.

Once you get the pattern, it is still fun of course, but the fascination wears off pretty quick, honestly.



Weirdly planetside 2 is still around and being played / developed. Those freemium games seem to stick around.

Fun game.

I read a great interpretation that Planetside is Valhalla and those are all warriors battling in eternity like they would.


I loved planetside, but at some point then introduced mechanoids which overpowered all the other vehicles. That ruined the game for me
