Yo, have you heard of Planetside 2 before? It's this awesome Free-to-Play game that's coming out on the 20th of this month. It's freaking awesome from what I've seen already, three factions fight of on an Alien planet, there's Massive Infantry, tank, and Air battles with 2000 players on each 64 square kilometer map! Also, when the game launches there will be three continents, and more through later releases. I'm stoked for this!
Here's the trailer for it.

Seems like an interesting game (that, on an unrelated note, I came up with an almost exact game concept years ago... but with an "Player Army Commander" system... oh well). As I've said before, I'm not a fan of FPS games... but free-to-play plus massive non-NPC armies sounds damn good.

Yeah it does, that, and if you wanted to turn it into a strategy kind of game, you can join an outfit. An Outfit is like a guild, and some of them act like a real battalion where there's a commander and different squads. An excellent outfit to check out is The Black Widow Company

When I get into the game, I was thinking of playing as the Infiltrator Class mainly and also try and fly the aircraft as much as I can, some of those things are sweet!

the commander system I came up with was more like starcraft-style. The "commander" for that team would have a bird's eye-view of the battlefield, and would be able to select different players or groups of players and tell them to go to a certain position on the map to guard/flank/attack/etc (and the players instructed to go there would get a prompt to go there, as well as a beacon on their map on where they should go), or avoid certain enemies to lure them into ambush, etc.
