PlanetSide 2, the sequel to the highly popular MMOFPS, is about to enter into an external testing phase and PlanetSide-Universe has the details that you need to know.
Testing is slated to begin at some point between July 9th through to the 15th with a technical test which ensures the game can run across a variety of hardware setups. After this phase, SOE will begin to bring testers in by waves, with more and more people being invited with each successive wave of invites. The early stages of testing will take place at very specific dates and times but will later open up to be available more often.
For those who have not actually beta tested a game before, this is not a way to get an "early demo" of the game. This is very much a beta test. Listening to what the developers ask you to do and help with is critical here.
Be sure to read the full outline for what is going to happen with this beta test.

6 - Beta testing is a critically important part of our development cycle on this project, we may be asking you to only play on tanks for a play session, or only play aircraft. We are doing true beta testing, not just a game demo and we implore those of you who are invited to understand and respect that. Things will break, the server will be unavailable sometimes, we will cancel scheduled tests when we find something that breaks before the test starts. All of this will help us make a better final game.
