I'm playing Global Agenda and really happy with it. I'm not paying the sub so all I can do is the PvE missions and 12v12 PvP instances, but they are quite enjoyable. I'm sure someone else around here has played the AvA and can fill you in on it better than I.
I'd personally opt for Planetside on PC or MAG on the PS3 if I were to play anything under the mmofps label again.
Granted MAG ain't an mmofps, or isn't labeled as such, but it's got just as persistent a world as GA and somewhere around 2 to 12 times the people to play with during any given match.

I must add, no one expect a game that will top Planetside. We expect if a Planetside 2 is made, or a clone, to be much smaller in style, more like Global Agenda or Counter-Strike. So go, play the Real Thing. Everyone sould play Planetside, at least one. To know how MMOFPS epicness is possible, and has ben for a lot of years. The problem is not technology.
If your looking for more action based with no real story/world/crafting then I would suggest Global Agenda. If you are looking for a full flushed out MMO I would suggest Fallen Earth.
Planetside, definitely. Not sure if the population is still there. Really amazing battles. In 25 years of playing a lot of videogames I've never found a game that better defined the term "epic battles" than Planetside.

3 way battles in those bases kicked ass. One person could turn the tide if skilled, or if your squad worked good together.
3 way on a single base with all pop capped... man thats nearly 250-300 player over the same base shooting everwhere THOSE were the days..... Tanks, cloaker, MAX, softy running and gunning,s sniper finishing off weakling.... i miss these times....
In these fight you could fight on the front line and not get so many hit but moving just a little bit too far and you were getting insta-gibbed that was fun time!
The game is not out yet but i loved APB beta. Another month to go till release and i am very excited about it. I think i will stop playing GA once i get APB

Planetside was awesome. No other game could do those massive battles as good as Planetside. Think scifi shooters like Halo, but then with battles of sometimes 100-200 people, with all kinds of vehicles and professions.
Game is more than 6 years old already, and no follow up on with such massive scale battles in sight: almost feels like MMO development has been stagnant for years :-/

Well personaly i did love planetside, but been a long long time i havent played so what does it look like now? i dont know.
like shit, let me explain... they made the lasher shoot like the pulsar but a little slower and weaker and has no lash damage, they buffed the MCG so that TR have the highest pop, 1 in every 3 players are hackers, there is no new content or updates, the devs don't give 2 shits about a player flying around shooting 10000 bullets in one second, hackers with full auto boltdrivers. I personally will never resub to PS again just because i don't feel like playing with all the hackers.
There is only 1 true mmofps out there and its planetside.
Sadly its very unsupported nowadays and loads have left and its reduced to 1 server.You can still get the occasional 100 vs 100 vs 100 but its becoming rare.
SoE has all but abandoned it now.Hacking is rampant resulting in people quitting by the day.The 5 year + imbalance remains .And its becominga ghost town.
The game also suffered from been ahead of its time.Initally it had 50k subs but could have had way more had it been released after WoW when it was cool to pay to play.I recall how many friends came to my house who were FPS fans and saw planetside and went "wow does such a game exist" .Once they found out it had a monthly sub they ran away from it .Now they all pay for WoW
So guise, Which current MMOFPS do you play / like?
I am currently harvesting in Darkfall while typing here and in vent I can hear people who left Global Agenda and Planetside because they say that it did not compare to Darkfall. I know a lot of people who left to try them and came back soon after when done with those games and it did not take that long . ... I will probably try them myself but will most definitely be doing something ALT-Tab in Darkfall because that is the best MMORPG game around that I have found.
I play Guildwars on the side because you can actually get things done when playing for only 20 minutes . .. also games like Call of Duty and Oblivion are some of my favorites. If I am going to spend a couple hours or more on a game than there is a 95% chance that it will be Darkfall at the moment.

Planetside is the best, and a very good one.

I've read a review of Planetside and it really basically said it sucked, and there are no players in it anymore, 'practically dead'
Anyone got anymore recommendations guise?
