John Smedley's Twitter Feed informs us that beta testing for PlanetSide 2 is getting underway today, saying: "We are go for beta at 2pm. Flagging has started. This is for current PS1 subscribers and All Access members. PS1 vets later" (we're presuming all of this is Pacific time, so that would be 5:00 pm EDT), later stressing that these vets (as opposed to current subscribers) need to register to qualify. In answer to a question about when those with beta keys to the MMOFPS obtained through Twitter would get in, he offers this outlook: "2-3 weeks (ish). depends on how things go in the beta. I can't stress enough that this is an actual 'let's find bugs' beta." It's also worth noting that Smedley recently confirmed the game will be offered through Steam, among other places.
