Yup, very interested in planetside 2. I`ve been following its development for quite some time, especially as games like wow and sto all limited pvp to such a stupidly small scale. As a pvp fan, planetside 2 is the last beacon of hope for large scale, team based action.

This is probably why team fortress 2, which is an old game by today's standards, is so amazingly successful. There are so few games where you can actually plan, socialise and fight with a team these days.

Planetside 2 also brings back good memories of battlezone 1 and 2, which let you base build and actually go out in your vehicles in first person mode. Similar ideas too with the vanu and the battlezone sentient machine/ human hybrids.

One thing i really love about games like planetside and, say EVE online, is that you can really make history with them because of the large, persistent world that is so lacking in other mmo's and similar games. Groups of people can, by virtue of effort, change the game for everyone and do great things. You can have live news programmes covering big battles and they will be remembered for a long time to come. You really can be come, by popular agreement, the leaders of your faction and their public persona, capable of giving orders and getting them followed by countless people across the globe.

Everyone out there trying to kill WoW has been aiming in the wrong place and has just tried to beat it at its own game. The "massive" in MMO was where they should have aimed and the MMO-FPS has a chance of really making something new that stands up on its own. It had better do, too, otherwise all we have is EVE online and thats quite a toxic and negative community that just gets less pleasant every day.
