Planetside 2 beta has started!

There's been some concern surrounding Rich's mental state in the run up to the start of the Planetside 2 beta, as documented in our earlier post regarding the order in which Planetside 2 applicants will get in when. The servers seem to be locked at the moment, but we're pounding on the doors demanding to be let in so we can wage war on everyone and everything. It's all rather undignified. The important thing is, those who have redeemed their PC Gamer mag codes will get to jump in soon. If you still haven't decided on a faction, we'll be going Terran Republic. If you can't wait for the war to start, whet your appetite with Tyler's Planetside 2 hands-on and check out the big, noisy Planetside 2 CGI trailer .

Part of the UK team, Tom was with PC Gamer at the very beginning of the website's launch—first as a news writer, and then as online editor until his departure in 2020. His specialties are strategy games, action RPGs, hack ‘n slash games, digital card games… basically anything that he can fit on a hard drive. His final boss form is Deckard Cain.
