    Are you trying to suggest that you believe this game will be similar to Planetside?

    People have suggested that before and not all of them were happy about it, see this thread for an example of what I mean:

    http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/292/view/forums/thread/231965/So-you-really-want-to-play-a-FPS-type-game-Developed-by-SOE.html

    Personally though I doubt this game will be anything like Planetside. Some of the basic gameplay (IE you have a gun and shoot at things with it) may be similar, but that will be true of any FPS/action game. I have two major reasons why I think this game will be very different from Planetside:

    1. I think SoE is moving away from their old business model of providing games for a monthly subscription fee and are moving towards a new business model of providing games that can only be enjoyed if you make multiple micro-transactions per month from their cash shop (example: Free Realms and Sony's new "Station Cash" system).

    2. Since this game is supposedly also going to be available on Playstation 3, chances are the game mechanics will need to be seriously dumbed down to function on the limited hardware of a console system, so don't expect large battles with hundreds of people or massive outdoor areas like we had in Planetside. Consoles just can't handle that kind of stuff the way a desktop PC can.
