GameHelper just put up their latest preview of planetside along with some screenshots. They are also having a beta account contest, with 25 accounts to give away (More on that below):
Planetside continues to advance in stability and functionality to this day, and it definitely looks like the game will reach its impending release with surprisingly little difficulty. Could this be one of the few massively multiplayer games that will manage to launch without a hitch? Judging by the ever-increasing number of players that are joining in on the beta with every passing day, and the impressive amount of stability the servers are showing (the occasional problems that pop up are smooshed almost instantly by the dev team), it just might be. Keep your eyes peeled.
You can find the rest of the preview
