SERIOUSLY
WHY AREN'T YOU
-2000 players per continent. Yes, 2000 players can be in one battle.
-Persistent worlds. You captured a base? Congratulations, you own it until someone else takes it. You don't have to be in a fight, you can roam around the world if you want.
-Shooting is about skill, not remembering every single inch of the map.
-Up to 12 players in a squad, which can be combined with up to 4 other squads to make a platoon.
-Every class has a role. Light Infantry is for flanking and hacking, Infiltrator for sniping, Heavy Infantry for anti-tank and being a general soldier, Medic for heals and revives, Engineers to cover a chokepoint and repair vehicles/MAXes, MAXes for very slow but very heavy assaults. If you want kills, play a MAX.
-Made by a VERY experienced development team
-Skill system that improves convenience, not directly improves combat. For example I can certify into an 8x sniper scope (Instead of 4x). I can certify into having a shorter vehicle cooldown. I can certify into getting a suppressor.
-Jetpacks. How can you say no to jetpacks?
-Three assymetrical sides
-FREE TO PLAY.
And if it looks like Halo, what DOESN'T look like Halo? Halo uses a colorful art style, so therefore every colorful sci-fi game is a halo clone.
WHY AREN'T YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS?

It's because Sony Online Entertainment sucks at marketing.
The game is currently in closed beta, but the Non-Disclosure Agreement was lifted today.
It's the best game I have played in a very long time. |

There is hardly any lag, even with hundreds of people in one battle. It's as much lag as you would expect from Battlefield 3.
Another thing to note is that the 2000 people won't be in the same place at the same time. The continent is about 32x the size of Battlefield 3's Caspian Border. Each base is about the size of 2/3 Caspian Borders. |

| It's a free-to-play game. The things you can buy with money are items (If you want them now instead of saving up your Auraxium), skins for vehicles, and XP/Resource/etc boosters that have no effect on gameplay. |

| Dust 514 also looks good (Even more so for me since I used to play EVE Online), but PS3 only makes me sad. |

>Dust 514
10 bucks says someone in EVE is going to park dreadnoughts at every single active battlefield in-game and bring the rain non-stop until everyone leaves |

@OP
Honestly, Dust 514 is probably the thing I am most excited for out of any other game. |

Well, jokes aside; If you're an RTS fan, go check out Planetary Annihilation if you haven't
In a nutshell, Total Annihilation on multiple planets; Being made by the cool kids that helped develop SUPCOM, Generals, Monday Night Combat, etc. They've got a Kickstarter going and it's at about 1 million last time I checked |

"10 bucks says the Goonswarm Federation would probably do that."
To hell with Dreads, Goonswarm grabs Rookie Ships and bails them in low orbit so that they crash through the atmosphere for maximum rage induction |
