Anyone ever play Planetside?

An SOE (I know, I know) game, a great MMOFPS back in the day.  Its currently doing 45 days free play for former subscribers (not sure if it counts for ex-reserves players though), and will also be merging the now dead eu server with the us server - finally giving the game a good playerbase for what it brings to the table, lots of shooty battles :D

Ive played it on and off for a few years and everytime its fun. From base assaults, to aerial combat to big fucking robots to making minefields and planting viruses in your enemies bases, its a damn good game that (surprise!) has been left to rot by SOE.

Did anyone else ever play it?

Interesting tidbit, its one of two MMO's Ive played where I didnt "lead" a group of people, I was actually a regular joe when I played seriously.

Looks interesting, but having to split time between 2 games is about the max i can handle.
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'
