PlanetSide 2 fans, Merry (early) Christmas. Sony Online Entertainment has thrown open beta signups for the upcoming sci-fi MMOFPS as of today. The game has also received a website makeover, and there's quite a bit of interesting info to peruse instead of the old placeholder graphics.
You can sign up with an existing SOE Station account, or create a new one in fairly short order. Curiously, there's no beta questionaire and no system requirements displayed during the signup process, and there's also no indication of when the testing will begin.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for further info, and we hope to see you in the beta, soldier!
[Thanks to Valru for the tip!]

I never tried Planetside, though I do remember when Tribes 1`was dying off pre-tribes 2 launch, everyone was moving to Planetside because it was the only thing similar in those times. Since the new Tribes, by HI-RES isn't my cup of tea, I'd love to check this game out, and once again see if SOE has learned anything from it's previous failures. I'm guessing this game will be competing with FireFall, though if SOE does this right, it might not be any competition at all. It seems the FireFall community is getting frustrated with no beta invites, and the delay.

Enjoying the slow but satisfying rise of Tribes:Ascend's game quality through beta.
But really looking forward to doing some persistent world FPSing in PS2.

Heads up if you already have a Station Account and haven't reset it since their account fiasco you will need to do an email or 1-800 reset before signing up.
