PlanetsideBattles and SOE announced an event to cement Planetside 2’s place in gaming history. On January 24th, 2015, at 22:00UTC, they will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for “Most Players Online in an FPS Battle.” The current record is 999 players held by Man vs Machine, a one off, browser based game created in 2012 specifically to surpass Planetside 1’s record at the time. The record attempt will consist of approximately 1,100 players and take place on the Jaeger competitive server as a 3 way match on Hossin, pitting each FACTION not servers, against each other. This means that a TR from Connery will be fighting alongside the combined TR populations from all servers; the same goes for the NC and VS.
