You've been the main sunshine Planetside pumper here, got me to sign up for the beta to see what it's about. I would believe you played the first, which I haven't, are the levels of players separated into different area's? Or is it more like WoW can go anywhere, but choose no PvP until you like, or total mass fricking conflict with all players thrust into a epic warzone?

Yes I played the first for a long time. So my answers will be assuming that some of the main elements are the same.
No. A level 1 player can easily kill a max level player. You just don't have as many weapon and loadout options.
This is an FPS. You WILL be PVP'ing.
There are multiple continents. The first game had something like 130 to 150 players per side on each continent.
They are claiming they can support thousands per continent with this new game.

This reminds me a a stupidly simple yet fun game from sony online that me and my friends used to play called infantry. Anyways thanks for your views, more fps than mmorpg.
Group coordination seems like a must which would be awesome if you get enough players together. Hopefully I get beta to try it out before I buy, because D3 is my main game coming up.

I seem to remember reading a long time ago that the first game kind of took Infantry and Tanarus, combined them, and put them on steroids.

Planetside2 is free to play. They will have a store where you can buy things like different looks for armor and weapons, but nothing that will make you more powerful. You never have to buy anything.

My outfit in the first game, at our peak would have on 100+ players in Teamspeak split in to squads and platoons all in a coordinated assault.

From what I know about the planetside series is its like a combo of the 2 but way more awesome, those games were top down arcade style games. Infantry was mostly person and squad based, while Tanarus was like a space shooter with upgrades and crap, nearly the same game as infantry in different settings.

Good lord, most I remember in a TS were friendly scrims in COD1 and 2; 30 people or so discussion strats, I can only imagine 100+ with a couple of commanders leading shite, mind is blown.

I support fully any sunshine pumping of Planetside that goes on here. The first one was the tits (at least until they pulled that expansion pack crap)

Any idea on the beta release or official release date? I signed up for the beta but havent heard anything.
Im hoping its after the summer because with new battlefield DLC, Arma 3, and CS:Go coming out this summer ill be FPS my arse off. But if it is summer ill just play that instead of Battlefield because 4 FPS will be a bit much.
Anyone idea what faction yall will choose? Im leaning vanu sovereignty right now from the artwork and weapons ive seen,but its gonna be hard choice.

My outfit was NC in the first game so we will probably lean towards that, but we are keeping an open mind.
We may opt to go with whoever we think will be the underdog, or go opposite of some other big outfits.
