Some tweets from John Smedley indicate that beta testing for PlanetSide 2 will commence soon, perhaps as soon as Friday or Monday. He notes that they were shooting for launching testing for the MMOFPS sequel yesterday or today, "but we have some stuff we need to make sure is awesome," and that "the team is working like crazy but we need to polish some stuff and test it before we let in a massive # of people."
