3 factions, persistent world, much more than the 64 players that BF allows. Much bigger maps as well.

Yeah, BF is still small scale battles even with 64 players on the server.

Planetside typically allowed 133 players PER FACTION on ONE CONTINENT at a time. Considering there were over 15 or so, you could have some epic battles if you choose to.

Vet, not subbed. Vets that were subbed got in first

Q. What order will people be let in?
A. Smedley, the CEO of SOE has stated that people with active subscriptions will be in the first wave, followed by people who have previously subscribed, followed by people wth a twitter or PCGamer key, followed by scrubs who just registered their interest in beta.

Played around 45mins to an hour the first night I downloaded, haven't popped in since. Will try some more this weekend.

Overall it's not bad, I made a TR character on US East 1. Feels different and sort of the same all at once.

They still have work to do on optimizing the engine and net code, but it looks like that's what the focus of this test is as they've locked out a lot of the character customization features for now.
