Planetside 2 is a complex game, you need to understand, that lots of players play this game for 7-8 years, and because Planetside 2 is a full PvP game, all new players will compete with those veterans (it's OK for this game if you will die a lot at the start). While game is an enjoyable experience as a lone wolf, you can get so much more out of it when playing in a group — be in a tactical squad, a platoon dominating large fights, or simply friends goofing around with the wide variety of mechanics that this game has to offer. Essentially, some of the best parts of this game are inaccessible to solo players. New features such as Bastion, Outfit Armory, and Outfit Wars are only available to players in outfits. 

The main advice for new players is to join Outfit (Outfits are guilds/clans in Planetside 2). More experienced people will tell you how to play this game, what settings are the best for you, etc. To join an Outfit you need to find in game an Outfit Browser or just watch the video How to choose Faction, Server and Outfit.
