Battle Royale games may be all the craze right now, but Star Wars 2 did have a large-scale war before PUBG tied the pan.
Now, the massively multiplayer shooter is back, and it's one of the biggest updates ever in Upgrade.
"Position, teamwork and scale are the cornerstones upon which PlanetSide 2 lives, and the new" upgrade "game update is designed to strengthen these three elements," a Steam post said.
"This major game update brings new content to players at all levels, brings a deeper experience to our most focused player community, and adds strategic depth and common goals to PlanetSide 2 games."

The biggest news of this update is the addition of Fort Fleet transport ships. These clumsy and fearless abilities can reverse the tide of battle, but they require the joint efforts of the entire team to be deployed on the battlefield. Similarly, they took a coordinated attack to disintegrate, and the fighters attacked the weakness together.
The developer said, "The fort is the ultimate power multiplier on the battlefield. It enables long-range enemies to engage with controllable turrets and can be used as a point for generating aerial vehicles."
Other war assets included in the update include: Steel Rain, a coordinated throw pod attack on the target location; Citadel Shield, a large foam shield that blocks projectiles and can be used to protect the base. A.N.V.I.L., capable of airdropping the ground vehicle of your choice for combat; and "Orbiting Satellite Uplink", allowing you to broadcast "orbital strike" anywhere on the battlefield.
Elsewhere, there are new equipment wars and equipment loyalty systems, and the introduction of a new social hub, Sanctuary.
The upgrade is scheduled to start on the PC live server on Wednesday, February 19. It has now been upgraded in real time on a public test server.
