Worth coming back? MIA since core combat release...

[Slobax1080]

I quit around the time of Core Combat, i played some core combat and basically gave my accoun to a friend to take control of (can i say that here? lol)

i've been playing random MMORPGs since then (MMO games are really the only games i play). Played WoW, Lineage 2, FFXI, etc. Currently playing WoW again, but it's not really satisfying my action hunger.

I first played Planetside in closed beta, and i swear i was in love. I remember so many nights camping cyssor with my sniper rifle popping down some TR and VC....

but anyways, i have some questions if you would be so nice to answer:
1.) What has changed since core combat release? I heard about BFRs...how are those?
2.)Do people still play steadily? I played on Emerald, will i see barren continents, or can i still find some action and big fights?
3.)Does the game have a future? I heard about sony making a new MMO-Action game....will SOE just be shutting down production on PS after that? Or is it still worth it to hop on PS again and get up to br20 cr5 and play steadily?

thanks. i'm patching the 7day trial as we speak.
