After giving it some thought - they don't need to have it open and playable at E3. They can get through it with carefully choreographed set-piece videos which they might even be making right now.

Massive isn't easily demonstrated by "OMG theres 300 people on the screen" because that isn't how it will be, all the time - the maps are 8km Squared, so there will be major battles and some relatively small skirmishes even on a server with 2000 people. When you log in, it won't be you with 1999 others, it'll be you with anywhere between 50-500 others, while the rest of the population fights elsewhere.

The best way to differenciate between PS2 and other shooters, imo, is by showing you what they can't - a major mixed battle with everything going on, maybe one thats exclusively air units, or en exclusive tank battle - because there are no limits on vehicle pulling at the same time.

Even 30v30 would be impressive to me, if they were all in mosquito/reaver/scythes in the same area.
