Gameplay Mechanics

So my question is that is this game similar to Battlefield, Halo, etc. but what features other than the persistant combat makes the game different than those games out of curiosity.

Massive war on a global scale. Meaning hundreds of players on a much larger map at the same time. There's more maps then just one as well. So combine the population of all maps at one time and you have thousands of players playing on a persistent world.

and also... you can lone wolf in bf3 but you really can't do that in planetside 2

[Hamma]

You can but it really doesn't work as well.

Playing outside of a squad is defiantly possible. It currently is a bit of a pain to do but possible. Solo players usually benefit the most by providing support to the other players. The pain right now is due to the issue of trying to find where the other players are fighting. That should be fixed soon enough though when they add the mission system and more functionality to the map.
