Drooling over the thought of 2000 player battles...

"Halo meets Battlefield"? Heh. That's adorable.

Having played the beta i'd say it's more like MAG meets battlefield with a dash of halo.

I meant that comment regarding the quoted comparison. It's kind of like Battlefield meets Battlefield 2142 meets this game that came out a while back called Planetside.

I'm SO excited for this. Oh man.

"Halo Meets Battlefield"?

... Hmm.... That leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I can understand the comparison.

I have been in the Planetside 2 beta for almost a month now (I played the original Planetside since 2003)
and I can safely say that its shaping up to be a fun, impressive experience.
I would like to issue a warning for those eager to participate in the BETA...
You're going to encounter bugs, and lots of them. I believe thats the entire premise behind staging BETA's, specifically to quash bugs, tweak technical specifications and optimize content as opposed to simply showcasing the game. A LOT of people are complaining about their Frames-Per-Second, while not understanding that nothing has been optimized; the graphics, for example, need driver updates by ATI or Nvidia.

Overall, I'm enjoying the game very much and I hope everyone interested can have the opportunity to receive a BETA invite. I would love to talk more about the game, but unfortunately there's a NDA :(

If anyone is playing, my handle is AtrediesX!

I really need to get into PC gaming at some point.

Damn shame my current hardware won't be able to handle this. Suppose I still have some time to prepare though.

Quite a shame they're not using Kai Lim's early concept designs though. They looked much cooler than what I'm currently seeing. Had a neat hard sci-fi tactical vibe to it compared to the flashier space opera aesthetic I'm seeing now.
