Is anyone here playing this at the moment? It's gone into a public beta, the client can be downloaded at Fileplanet (1.3 Gigs).
To try and put it simply, Planetside is like BF1942 crossed with Tribes 2 played out with thousands of players over a persistant world.
It's a Massively Multiplayer Online FPS, where you can choose one of 3 factions fighting a non-stop war on the planet Auraxis.
I can't get over how big this game is, some of the battles can get epic, with hundreds of people launching an attack on a enemy base, and dropships flying overhead and tanks hurtling by. The system picks up action hotspots on the map so people can see where the latest attacks are emerging (as they happen almost constantly).
I can't really do the game justice as it's too deep (it's nothing like an action game like Quake III) so I recommend taking a look at the website.
It's a hefty download, and the game seems a bit slow at first, but once you join a squad things really start to pick up.
