how gimped will the free accounts be? i see its being called fodderside on the PS forums. i know the free accounts are limited to br6 and c2 but what exactly does that mean? am i actually going to be able to do anything other then die/fight other freebies until uber mr 3 year player stands still and wipes us all out? or is the game not setup that way?
in other words is the game more BF2 or more RPG'ish(playtime=power>skill)?

Well, don't think that PS plays like other FPS games, because it doesn't. You can't just point your weapon at someone and let loose a few rounds and they die. It is nothing like that. So there is a learning curve on how to best use weapons. If you think you're going to pick up a sniper rifle and start owning people... LOL! ... you are sorely mistaken. If you think you'll grab an MCG and start owning people, again, you are deluding yourself. Give yourself a little time to become familiar with the weapons and how to best use them. Learn the different play styles and game mechanics for them and then play the one you do best and have the most fun with.
Oh and any of you think you're going to be grabbing your sniper rifles and pwning people. Please, do me a favor, come to the Markov server and join the TR or VS and then come and get me. I go by the name Shae, that is Shae of the 4475th Ranger Elite and I'm a sniper. I look forward to dueling you - anytime - anywhere.
From what I've seen from the in-game vids, being a sniper would be a total waste of time. Everyone is just moving to fast and it would be way to easy for someone to run up on your "mile wide blind side". I would however like to know what c2 means. Do I only get 2 certifications? You'd think that the "fodder" could at least get agile armour and a vehicle cert. I don't mind being gimped, but I do want to try out most of the common pool toybox.

OK...and when you're spamming from the wall of a base, guess who is most likely to take you out? As for your mile wide blind side...hmmm...if you say so. C2, don't know this term, but if you mean Cr2, than that means command rank 2, and being command rank 2 has nothing to do with certificates. So you'll not be gimped. You'll have access to every weapon, and vehicle as a veteran player. The difference is you just won't be able to "cert" as many as a veteran at one time. Having access to HA, MA, Advanced Med, Reaver and Mossie, does not equal a good player. A good player makes the best use of what they have at the right time.
If what we hear is true you should be able to gain 13 certs. This will allow you to have access to quite a few weapons and armor, any of which can kill just as easy as the next once you get the hang of them.
I dont care what noone will try to tell you as a new player and only being able to be BR6 you will be bait lol... They should have atleast let the limit be BR12 since the cap is BR25....

question: i thought this game was gonna be free to play, also the free to play version is gonna be like AO, without expansions. Is this game gonna still be fun free, without them?

If the trial is without the expansion you want be able to do things like fight in the caves, use some expansion weapons or vehicles, or the hated BFR.
But you still will be able to have fun like the person above me said.

I might as well come back. World of Warcraft PvP is nothing but mindless ganking. Planetside PvP is meaningless because its so easy to lose ground, but everquest clone WoW just takes the cake on this one.

WoW world PvP is mindless ganking.
WoW battlegrounds is soooo GuildWars.
Today huh.
Well I think this deserves a months worth of subscription fees from me. Just like the BFR nerf did. But no doubt ill cancel after that again.
Wish I didnt delete the game from the harddrive gain. DANG I hate it when I do that.
