I hereby declare ps2 king of fps shooter for sure, huge epic map, furious combat, lots to do, everything is sooo fast paced, strategic map, feels like a real world war 3 in real time. Holy crap no lag too well so far 
Planetside2 pwns halo4, call of duty, gears of war, and battlefield. Oh and DUST514 dont even come close to the epic scope of this game. All those games dont even come close to the size of PS2, lol PS2 would chew those games up and spit them out. No competition for PS2.
I woudl pay $15/month for this, there is sooo much to do and its fast paced everything is happening so fast in real time. combat is awesome, feels like im in world war 3. SOE got a real winner here. from the moment you log in its all runnign and shooter and skill up on those vehicles all action nonstop no time to breath.

Well, it's not even out yet...I hope this type of fanboyism doesn't multiply, PS2 will end up like that other game, especially with thread titles such as this.
It's great that you enjoy it, I can't wait to try it out myself.
if your going to try to beat ps2 your shooter better be damn better then ps2 or surpass it. Just saying lol.
Try other servers Kry. There's a huge issue with certain servers being unable to handle the stress associated with the new influx of IGN Beta players. Other servers handle them without a hitch.
That's exactly the point of Beta testing though, to ensure that game breaking issues like that aren't anywhere to be found during release. I can only guess that each server that they have running is using different specifications in order to feel out exactly what hardware they'll need in order to provide a stable platform for 2000 players to simultaneously blow sh*t up.
Also, I have to agree with the OP's optimism. Even in PS2's very beta state, the game's core mechanics, tempo, and massive combat scale far out perform any other multiplayer shooter to date, including PS1. They've really done a fantastic job at creating the foundation for what SHOULD become an absolutely spectacular MMOFPS.
I say this knowing damn well that the devs constantly fix and break the game with every patch, but also realize that each triumph and victory they code is a step forward towards having a well balanced, optimized, and bug "free" game at launch.
In summary, the game has incredible potential based solely on it's core, and so long as we testers continue to provide constructive bug reports and feedback I have faith that the developers will continue to provide us with an amazing gaming experience that will last a lifetime.
Im not a fan of you right now. I really am stoked about this game. I remember being super excited about the original and it was just hugely dissapointing.
I remember a hilarious comic from penny arcade where the guy gets all excited, logs into the game, and is basically shouting "hello, is anyone there?!!!..... I'll PAY someone to shoot at me!....Hello?!!!"
I just laughed so hard because that was EXACTLY the experience i had with the game, and i gave it multiple tries.
So, yeah, PS2 i have faith will redeem the series for me. Plus its time for an MMOFPS. A real one.

Haven't tried that. Will try switching to the other East Coast server tonight to see if it helps.
Hail to the King Baby! YOU KNOW HE PLAYS PLANETSIDE 2!
Yeah, they'll wait until it's got a happy stable fan base and then say....This needs to be more like WoW.
This, this,this, and this. SOE is the demise of many of their own games.

That's what I though with the East Coast thing. My guild currently switched to West for the time being where there hasn't been any of the latency issues.
East had problems in the past as well I've been told. Like I said, most likely just different hardware that obviously isn't up to par. Gotta see what the min specs of a server are in addition to our PCs though y'know?
The F2P cash shop model, as well as the paid early access is already a kick in the teeth..

If you scroll down on the linked page, I think your questions are answered.
i stick with BF in terms of realism buddy sry
and u didnt even play halo 4 so how the hell do u know if it is better or not....fangirls and their way of thinking sometimes seriously
once the game is OUT and get best fps award more than the BF franchise then u can call it king but realistic view it is not..only fanboys say it so.
By the way im the type of person that never played this planetside 1, however i play halo and call of duty on xbox360.
I think planetside 2 is such a great game , its mind boggling why they made it free to play. I am going to spread the word about planetside 2 to my fellow xbox360 fps players for sure. SOE seems they can talk th talk and walk the walk .
SOE should bring it to xbox360 as well. Going to spread the word to battlefield 3 players as well on xbox 360 platform.
Compares most to BF2142, which was my favorite of the BF series and always will be. Definitely feels like an upgraded BF2142 in my opinion.
Everyone says it "looks" like Halo. While that might be true, the gameplay is incredibly dissimilar. I wouldn't even compare the two except for the fact that they take place in the future.
Yeah, but that's not exactly Planetside. It's just a mix of Battlefield 3 and Unreal Tournament, they ripped all the tactics out of PS and put in quick respawning gameplay akin to Call of Duty. Hell, they've even got the Unreal Tournament jump pads where you run over them and get thrown across the sky to another tower. Who the hell designs these things?
This is turning out to be very much 'not for me', which is a shame as I absolutely loved original Planetside, it was a truly epic game seeing tanks firing across a bridge at each other, Galaxy drops on bases, infiltrators sneaking in and giving reports back to their platoon on troop positions, aircraft zooming overhead, back door assaults, and on and on.. Planetside 2 is just pew pew, die, respawn, run, pew pew, pew pew, die, respawn, pew pew...
Yawn.
Hrmm, you obviously haven't educated yourself on Planetside 2 at all. I'd also guess that you've never taken part in an "actual Beta" either. This isn't the normal Beta = Early Start/Free Trial type of Beta that you're probably used to playing in order to decide whether or not you'll purchase the game upon release (People are even asking for no character wipes before release! Hahaha). This is an actual evolving Beta test of a game that is far from complete. Bet you've never pushed that little Support button in order to submit a bug either, huh?
Anyway, the devs have repeatedly mentioned that the "spawn, die, spawn, die" type of gameplay is not what they are going for. They've been focusing on engine optimization and other mechanics as of late. While they ARE going for a faster paced MMOFPS than the original Planetside, they aren't going so far as to make every base battle a 10 minute Team Deathmatch.
In fact, Higby even made an official post today showing that their goal is something other than a massive UT/BF clone and something more akin to the original PS.
Why don't you start giving your feedback on the Beta forums instead of assuming that what you see is what you get as it stands. They've obviously been listening to what the players want, and that's simply a more Planetside like experience again.
And sorry, but this MMO generation got so spoiled and ignorant after the "Free Trial Beta" crap started happening. It's actually refreshing to be part of Planetside 2's Beta where your bug reports and gameplay feedback actually mean something in the end. Something REALLY weird coming from an SOE title =P
