Planetside Combat Fundamentals - Part 1 - Movement

This is the first episode in a series dedicated to going over basic infantry combat in Planetside 2. This episode covers movement. If you'd like to jump around to specific topics, here are some timestamps:

2:32 : What do I mean by "movement?" (also the end of selling the idea)
3:14 : Strafing
5:55 : Crouching

If you have any questions about any of the topics I covered, or beyond, you can leave a comment and I'll get to it when I notice it (whenever that is), or you can message me on discord (Conflictt#1530)

Thanks to LividRaccoon for the thumbnail!

Absolutely S-tier guide; BR 40, went from getting only a handful if any infantry kills per session to getting over a 1 K/D. Amazing, thank you for making this!

THIS is the stuff I've been looking for- this basic but fundamental information on how to improve myself.

[Ryudius]

nice video, narration and script are great as well. very concise.

Another good tip is when you go to the VR area, pull a Sundy and deploy it out where the dummies are. This can give you the chance to try new weapons and practice engaging people around corners (aka your sundy), which is a staple of movement in PS2.

[achtung_panzer]

They should nerf the crouch spamming you do.

[firstlast]

Great channel definitely

It's just the same as all other fps games, use your surroundings and repos when necessary

[famvirious]

I aim chest height against more experienced players so they always crouch into headshots

[GustavoMsTrashCan]

This was really helpful. Thank you, sir.

I havent watched all your videos.. But i like what i saw. Sadly this game is not popular as it deserved. I must say.. in my eyes, the bigest problem is that is not on par with the new shooter titles from the visuals stand point.. but for me its the best gameplay mechanics in any shooter taht is close to this (Battlefield and so on). People want visuals so they will never join us even if they have over 100 fps in this game. Butfor us - who love this game.. is hard to play with 40 fps in big fights.. If i cant spend more money on the pc its not bueno to play like that...I still love this game ! :) Thanks for the videos and sorry for my .. not perfect english :)

With my aim I'm a real threat, the issue is I don't get the mechanics. When in vehicles I can cross map shot people with any weapon in a vehicle, even shot planes at max render distance prefiring about 3s before it hits them. But infantry BRUH....

what camo is that at 7:00? (on your gun)

[comrademartinofrappuccino]

Which song did you use in the background at 0:18?

[bobrobrules]

I heard crouching is getting nerfed in the future along with other animation overhauls.

[roguethemachine]

stiff movement has to go it annoying and boring af
