The Planetside 2 update we have all been waiting for is finally here. Huge changes to alerts as well as sweeping vehicle and weapon balance changes. It is certainly going to take a while to make adjustments to all of the changes, but it seems like the game is moving in a net positive direction. Full release notes below:

In a recent livestream, Daybreak revealed a number of upcoming changes to Planetside 2. Those changes include a new jetpack, new engineer grenade, new continent locking mechanics, and a new reward system for alerts. Check out the livestream below, or read the summary:
Over the past few months I have been making some improvements to the website. The first update was a new responsive theme that works better on mobile devices. The second update was upgrading to PHP7 and configuring SSL. Now, I have gone back through years of posts and replaced (almost) all of the Flash video content with a HTML5 video player. A lot of the videos were already in a supported format, so the flash based video player was just swapped out. Other videos were replaced with Youtube embeds, while others were re-encoded and re-uploaded. The main goal for this was to get the site fully functional on mobile, plus Adobe is ending Flash support in 2020. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
