Having been in the last phase of Beta, I'd say the game's pretty damn good. If you're not seeing anyone in hours, you're not using the Map feature and the various forms of transport right. The Map shows you hotspots, either run, fly, or drive to them, or just wait on the HART and drop straight into the action. Join a squad, ride a Galaxy out to the battle. No reason to go more than at most, 30 minutes without someone to shoot at. Even as a MAX I could get to battles relatively shortly on foot, on my own. The game had some lag and slowdown issues, as well as issues with the options (It turned up my particles, and then never let me turn them back down afterwards), and some balance issues (Damn dual cyclers), but other than that I thought it was pretty good. Sure, I died to the vicious TR weapons a lot, but all I did was jump right back into the action. I'll be picking the game up, I know that.
