What I Envision When I Think Planetside 2

[Steambot]

I picture an infiltrator in the middle of a desert. With a sniper rifle. Waiting on a canyon for any unwary travelers. It seems to me that whenever people start discussing PS2, they talk about the big battles surrounding buildings, and never the combat going on in the stretches of land between them. Obviously they won't be as active, but are there any word about it?
