It's the 2nd best implementation of rvr ever, after daoc.
It's a fps game action game with vehicles, no pve, no crafting and nothing like block/cell based construction nor a player based economy. Totally different genre and approach at RvR. The only thing close to what CU will be is that there are 3 factions fighting each other.
Yes it is a massive team death match game compared to DAoC or even what CU will be (CU is actually vastly more sandbox like that DaoC or most mmos for that matter).
Also the point I was making had absolutely nothing to do with comparing CU with Planetside. It was about players not understanding what an RvR rpg game is. You reinforced this opinion with your reply.
Basically, adding PvE servers to CU is like saying, "What this football game needs is more basketball courts!"
Heh. Or it's like saying, "Your cornerbacks need to win a 3 point shooting contest before they are allowed in the game and they won't be effective at tackling unless they have beaten up an NBA center and now are wearing his jersey."
It's a fully persistent world, there is no "match" in planetside.
Death match; an instanced, timed game with equal sides, where the team that scores the most killsbefore the clock ticks down wins.
Rvr: a fully persistent 3 sided war, where the holding of territory grants faction wide bonuses to the side holding the territory and Individuals progress their characters by taking part in the war.

No its still not a "death match"

Planetside is the later not the former.
Although i like ps2 too, it certainly does rvr better than gw2, tsw, Swtor and aion, I'm on the fence as to if its better than war though.
