It looks very interesting, but I want to see more gameplay footage.
Give me more!
Dirty new conglomerate smurfy little bastard.
Looks like its shaping up to be something great. Cannot wait, PS1 was my first MMO, looks like PS2 will be my last!
I still just don't see how this is an mmo...looks like every other fps with much larger maps. I mean...you can't create your own cities and defend them as if it were your clan's, etc, correct?

Yeah, that is my only concern. Is there any PVE at all? Or is it just a sci fi BF3 that takes place in one huge map. It would still be awesome, though.

PlanetSide 2 is aiming to be bigger and better than the original, with battlefields holding up to 2,000 players at the same time, a flexible skill system that allows players to fine-tune their troops and engage in crafting, and a struggle to control territory between three factions. Interestingly enough, Smedley said that the factions might not always be at each other's throats; the PlanetSide 2 team has plans to launch PvE world events such as alien invasions where all players will put aside their differences to combat a shared threat.

Sweet, thank you very much for the links. Very informative!
It IS a MMO, you dont have to have PVE to be a MMO
It ISN'T BF3 with bigger maps, because A) BF3 is a bloody awful console style FPS and
The world is fully PERSISTENT, its not a timed match.
Also looking really good, already has two things over WvW for me, no wow kiddie friendly 2 week reset and know thy enemy.
If you don't know what makes Planetside an MMO and not like Battlefield/CoD you don't know much about the game. Persistent world, no instances / 16v16 maps / etc. All the fighting takes place in one world (well, for your server at least). Once your faction captures a base, you own it until one of the other factions takes it back. There are no "you win" or "you lose" screens where a new game starts afterwards. Think DAOC realm vs realm except that is the entire game and it has FPS style combat.
In short, Planetside 1 was / Planetside 2 will be more massive than just about any other MMO out there.
planetside 1 was / still is the only game to successfully copy what made DAOC pvp magic.
basicly they looked at things like unreal tournament, they looked at daoc and thought what happens if we merge thoose 2 games. It was massively ahead of its time (and crappy internet connections of that time)
Looks great!
Looks great, I cant wait to get my hands on this one.
To everyone asking about PVE. Go watch some videos of planetside 1. Then decide if you are interested or not. The game won't have PVE. It's 100% online PVP/FPS.
