Both have 'high skill' gameplay, just in a completely different way. Doesn't mean one is inferior to the other, but a matter of taste. (I love the intensity of instagib!)
Don't like where this guy will take combat, it'll turn into this mini-game making it way too complex detracting from the overall experience of the 'war' that is planetside. Veteran players will probably dominate 'noobs' simply because they know how to handle the guns better, knowledge gained simply from experience. Which will scare new players away.
Games are meant to be fun, most gamers aren't professionals and gaming shouldn't be a second job, where you need to work your ass off to be able to play it properly.

Exactly. I'm going to be working, fighting, and I'll have classes, and I'm super excited about planetside. I'll still put hardcore time in, but there are so many who won't be able or want to meet the "high skill ceiling".
Thank god I'll hit it with talent :P. I'm not banking on a game with 1000's of people to be all that balanced or serious. Then again, my claim to fame isn't years of planetside, to be fair.
