I'm having difficulty finding an outfit, and you can only go so far in this game playing with random people the game puts you with. It's much better to play with people you know and can communicate with.
If anyone is interested in playing with me, I'm on the Waterson server on the Terran republic side. I mostly play as the Heavy Assault class, but I also use the Infiltrator and Light Assault classes from time to time. My name is LordHerakles, and I'm currently logged in as of the time of this post. You can invite me to join a squad, add me as a friend, or even eventually start an outfit if all goes well.
I think it's obvious I'm getting really frustrated at this point. I really want to play more of this game, but one can't do so optimally without being in an outfit. And the only outfits I've found are either excessively hardcore about the game or are not serious enough. I want to have fun, and since I have no friends in real life that play video games, that leaves me in a bit of a rut.

Team work has more to do with the people playing the game, rather than the game itself. The gameplay is definitely like Call of Duty or any other modern FPS. I would rather it be more like Quake or Unreal Tournament in terms of the actual FPS gameplay, but none of those games are as massive as Planetside. I can log in one night and be fighting in a huge battle, and then log in the next morning and that battle is still going on. Having generic modern shooter gameplay is an acceptable caveat for the sheer size of Planetside 2.
Bear in mind, I never played Planetside 1, so my experience is solely from the new game.
