After playing Beta for awhile,
GameSpot has updated their preview of PlanetSide, along with 62 new screenshots. Here's a taste:
However, most PlanetSide fans, ourselves included, will want to get into the action immediately, and for that we found that we could use the "instant action" or "request deployment" options to quickly get into a battle. Though it can be enjoyable to carefully mull over your character's weapon loadout and ammo types, in the middle of a hectic base battle, we made good use of the inventory "clear all" button, which immediately deletes your character's current inventory (stocked with all-around average weapons by default).
You can find the rest of the preview
