I'm fairly certain it's free.

Might just have microtransactions or something.

I've heard the name of the game a lot, and when browsing free stuff on PS Store, I saw that game come up.

What's the deal? Is it one of those things where the game is free but you have to pay a subscription?

It's free, but microtransactions and subscription are optional. As someone with almost 2000 hours on Planetside 2, I can safely say it has one of the better F2P models. You can either unlock weapons with either in-game or IRL cash, but most of the weapons are sidegrades rather than upgrades. The default weapons are generally excellent and in some cases even the best in their class. It's probably one of the least grindy F2P games.

Subscription basically just gives you more XP and faster resource generation, which isn't really that big of a deal unless you plan on spamming vehicles and MAX suits all day.

If you're going to get into PS2, be prepared to get relentlessly turbodunked. The game has a fairly high learning curve and the majority of the playerbase is composed of grizzled vets who have been playing for years. It's completely open world and there is no matchmaking system, so aside from the newbie continent, there's no real segregation from the MLG players and rabble. The best thing you can do is join an outfit the first chance you get. They'll teach you how to play properly and give you direction.

Wait, it's like an MMO? But it's a first person shooter.

Holy shit that's awesome

It's "free," if you would consider grinding 8 hours for a weapon attachment to be "free."

They need a way for players to give certs to each other. By the time you're BR 100 you have so many certs you just don't even know what to spend them on.

that wont happen cause of things like this
