PlanetSide 2

Battalion 1944 is a competitive WWII shooter released in 2019. While it initially had some interest from fans of old-school shooters and was backed by Square Enix Collective, its player base has significantly declined. Most recent reports and community discussion suggest very low active player numbers, with difficulty finding matches on public servers in recent years. It is not an MMO, as it is a session-based multiplayer FPS without a persistent world or large-scale player counts.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
