Gamespot has up their Planetside Preview. Here is a snippet:
Even though your character can eventually have lots of different abilities, PlanetSide will let you create a character relatively quickly. You simply choose to align your character with one of the game's three factions--the New Conglomerate, the Terran Republic, or the Vanu Sovereignty--and then begin choosing your character's certifications, or skills, by spending certification points. You'll begin with only a few certification points, but you'll earn more on the battlefield. PlanetSide doesn't have physical attributes, so you don't have to worry about strength or intelligence or dexterity, but you will want to choose the certifications that are right for you.
