PlanetSide 2

We’re looking to have 2,000 people on a server. In a single map.” Those are some of the first words from Executive Producer Josh Hackney the minute I sit down at a Planetside 2 console for a preview during PAX Prime. A bold and daunting claim, especially for an MMOFPS that is still in a very tightly closed beta, but one that should be opening up within the next few months. Then again, based on scale alone, having 2,000 players in one persistent game doesn’t seem that far-fetched.
