PlanetSide 2 Wiki wrote:Outfits
Outfits are the "guilds" or "clans" of Planetside 2 and play a very important role in each and every battle. Outfits can range from a small group of friends, to medium sized group that specializes in specific roles such as infantry, air, or rapid response teams, to huge gaming communities that can field multiple platoons of hundreds of players. While the motto often holds true: "Size. Always. Matters.", playing with even a small outfit can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Always remember: the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts!
Why you should join an outfit
Planetside 2 is a team-based game. This means that most of the features and "fun" of the game will not be achieved without being part of a team. Just trying to join a squad in-game is not always promising since many squads are dysfunctional and without communication. An outfit allows you to have a group of players you can always run so your only focus will be killing the enemy.
Features of an outfit
Outfits have ranks for outfit members that are separate from the in game ranks. These are by default: Recruit, Private, Member, Officer, and Leader. Each rank gives outfit members different permissions for organizing the outfit. Outfit badges, specialized decals for outfit members, are expected to make a comeback from Planetside 1 but have not yet been implemented. More outfit specific items will be sure to come in the future.
Well organized outfits also tend to have a dedicated voice chat server, which is always extremely useful. The in game voice chat service is less than adequate.
Below is a compiled list of outfits operating in Planetside 2. Active Members are based on in game outfit members.
How to add your outfit to the list
To add your outfit to the list, go to the page for your server and follow the instructions there.

I wrote:You should join us for PlanetSide when you can. I hope you are not mad at me for screaming at you the other day. I am sure I overreacted, but it had to be done. It was also because I was already pissed off at infernovia. But seriously, you gotta try PlanetSide. It's the FPS version of PA, you are gonna fucking love it. I can see why The Realm guys have these two as their main games -- you can fucking play them forever, and the more people you have the more fun they are. I want to make you and recoil squad leaders, so jump in when you can.
