Turboweasle: everyone's favorite speedy rodent

So this is everyone's reminder that Planetside 2 will be coming to the PS4.
I have it on PC and it runs like balls due to an incredibly poorly optimized engine, but I suspect that won't be the case on PS4. And besides, it's free to play (does have microtransactions, but like TF2 the default weapons are solid enough). You can unlock everything in the game, it just takes longer.
Anyway, when it runs well it's a fantastic game. It's got huge battles the likes of which you've never seen (2,000 people in one battle, though you rarely see it capped like that as the action is usually taking place on multiple fronts). The game world would probably take four hours in real time to traverse on foot. It's got snipers, infantry, heavy infantry, engineers, medics, squads, platoons, companies, outfits, three factions, tanks, quad bikes, transport aircraft, combat aircraft, and tons of customization for your character's loadout. It's basically Bad Company 2 on steroids with a sci-fi feel.
With all the hype around Destiny I just didn't want us to forget about this game. Since it's free to play I could see a lot of us getting it and having an absolute blast.
