Most one year olds like to celebrate their birthday by falling over or, if they're feeling really adventurous, dribbling a bit. Like an unnaturally violent infant, PlanetSide 2 prefers to arm its players with a selection of rockets, weapons and bonuses. To celebrate their bouncing babby MMOFPS's continued survival, SOE have created a special anniversary bundle, offering a selection of hardware and buffs for a reduced price.
The pack costs 3999 SC, or $39.99, or £24.69, or 86,111 Uzbekistani Som. Inside, you'll get a six month 50% XP boost, itself worth 5000 SC. You'll also get three Platinum Empire Specific Rocket Launchers, and the following collection of weapons:
- RAMS .50M
- EM4 Longshot
- Parallax VX3
- Serpent VE92
- LC3 Jaguar
- Razor GD-23
- Corvus VA55
- TAR
- Carnage BR
PlanetSide 2's European distributor Prosiebensat.1 are planning to mark the occasion in a slightly different way, by re-imagining the best in-game player stories as a dramatic graphic novel , through a competition open to EU players.
