Oh dear. This is just looking so good. I just hope they don't have server performance issues.

I also hope it doesn't turn into 'pay-to-win', which what a lot of 'free to play' games really are under the covers.

From what it sounds like they are very anti pay to win, but i guess time will tell it is Sony and their track records with mmo's are not the best.

This is looking properly good innit

Just so much awesomeness. Now imagine that size area they are playing on now and times it by 20 and take the 100 people they have playing to 2000

Cool, looks like I will be able to play the beta as a veteran of Planetside, can't wait!

I don't think I've ever heard a free to play dev saying that they are pro pay to win

Nah, SOE need to be smart. If they introduce such things then the game will fail.

We the community have made it very clear that we don't want such things and SOE are actually listening!

It's at least a few months off beta yet, it's still alpha atm.

Few weeks.

This'll be the first game I actually buy stuff from a store, simply to help it succeed, which it deserves to from the looks of it.

Badly need this, current online FPS games on PC suck so bad for us seasoned gamers.

Woop woop!

Best get my voluntary redundancy application in to HP asap then (yes, I would seriously give up work for this game after my vet PS1 days).

Well you can talk to your team mates, so it's already better than battle****e 3.

Does anyone know if I can go into a shop now, buy the July edition of PC GAMER UK and get a key? Or is it with the subscriber edition only?

Thanks

Looks like they are giving away tons of keys on twitter and facebook, been very unlucky so far and not managed to get one worth a check out if you guys want one though!

 

[opstrat]

it is a waste of time, they post a pic every 30 mins with 40 keys on it.

then how many people trying to redeem them.

its totally ********, uv got ps1 players for years begging for keys and last night i saw someone get a key for posting a pic of a cat.

Yeh I've given up trying to win one, spent three hours last night trying to get a facebook key but some copy paste bot kept getting them. Best bet is to just buy this

Remember, those with PS accounts don't need a key!
