Planetside 2 and other F2P games on PC

[omgeveryone9]

Question #1: How demanding is planetside 2 on my CPU and GPU. I want to play on mid to high graphical settings and from what I have apparently heard it is demanding on computers. I have an intel i7-3630QM with 2.4GHz. My graphics card is the nividia Geforce GT 650M

Question 2: Which game do people recommend me to play that's on PC and F2P (no games with subscription fees like Runescape. that game sucks now). Games that I already play is TF2, Warframe, and APB reloaded.

1. Can't answer for sure, but my machine runs PS2 on mid-to-high just fine, and I'm pretty sure it's not as powerful as yours (2.7 GHz i5, AMD Radeon HD 6770M) so I doubt you'd have much trouble.

2. Some F2P games I'd recommend would be:

- Tribes Ascend (FPS)
- Spiral Knights (Dungeon-Crawler MMO)
- TERA (MMORPG)
- Airmech (MOBA-RTS)
- World of Tanks (Not really sure what genre to put this in)

- Spiral Knights (Dungeon-Crawler MMO)

How is this now? Anything new or are there barely any updates?

There's been a few things moves added (Knights can now "Dash" short distances, do a "Shield Bash charge" similar to that of the Trojan, etc.) several new enemies (Gorgons, Bone Mites, Dust Bunnies & Gel Drops[footnote]And while nothings been confirmed, digging around with SpiralSpy suggests there may be at least 2 new enemies coming soon...[/footnote] and a new "HUD" that nobody likes, among other things.

But I think by this point people are just waiting for the Battle Sprites to turn up.

I have a 2-3 year old i5 series processor, an AMD Mobility series GPU of the same age and about 2GB of RAM in my laptop and im somehow managing to get 20FPS in a ~300 player engagement.

I think youll do better than me at least. And PS2 is optimised for GeForce cards.

Also low setting really dont look all that terrible, its render quality that makes the real difference.
