Gunplay and vehicle piloting at FPS standards

Human enemies adapt, diluted across hundreds
Variance4 vs 3

Destiny
RNG loot drops famously gate progression.
PlanetSide 2
Massive battles produce constant chaos
Optimization6 vs 5

Loadout meta and raid routes are solvable systems.
PlanetSide 2
Loadouts, terrain, and territory strategy matter
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
