Soooooooooooo, am I the only old-guy gamer on here (not 17 years old...

Planetside 1 was immense, but was a subscription based game, 15bux a month back in 2003.
Thousands of players, hundreds of people shooting at hundreds of people at the same time with tanks, aircraft, ect. all before there was even a MMOFPS label.

Now Sony Online Entertainment has released a bunch of footage and news from Planetside2





This will be a free to play MMOFPS with a new physics engine utilizing NVidia's PhysiX engine. Allot has been released, and it its currently in closed beta.
Allot of people have received Beta-Keys from PC gamer, as it was last month's PC Gamer front-page cover story.



I play still as TR (overthrown) on the single PS1 server still online... Dreary population at the moment, as the graphics and such really haven't been updated sense 2005.. O well, PS2 looms on the horizon, and promises much in the way of massive FPS hundred- on- hundred battles.
I will be seen dropping rockets on your head via my reaver come launch-date

I've been looking forward to it. I hope it's as good as it has the potential to be. I've also been watching Tribes Ascend pretty closely, so I figure if one of the two lets me down, there's a good change the other won't.

I have been on and off Tribes, not too impressed

Tribes ascend is glorious if you prefer that type of fast-twitch game-play. The only thing I have against it is that the class kits tend to be a little unbalanced, especially for newer players. It is NOT a newb friendly game (Though to be fair it's very easy to get experience)
I played PLanetside for a year, so of course I'll try and pick this one up.
