Planetside was god damn amazing back in the glory days. Massive 300 vs. 300 battles that took the better part of a day to finish were a ton of fun. While I still have an active account, sadly it is hardly the game it once was due to low population, poor support and inactive development. I'm anxiously awaiting the mysterious "Planetside 2" game that was announced a few months back.

I could spend a ton of time remembering the awesome battles of 200 vs 200 vs 200.
I can't remember what each of the factions were called, so I'll refer to them as Red, Blue, and Purple. But once, as Red, were assaulting a Blue base. And to take the Blue base, you had to take the towers around it to get the spawn points...and some other reason that I can't remember.
So, we spend a good hour of a couple hundred of us assaulting their base, which was required to continue taking the rest of the bases in the continent. However, it was also a vehicle base, so we were up against tanks, fighters, etc. I remember everything about the fight, from an epic battle that raged in the base, with me camping out in one of the Mech Suits on the computer terminal. Which, of course, took like 30 minutes to take fully. I got so much XP as wave after wave of Blues with their jackhammers tried to take us down.
But, the battle wasn't over! After we took the base, we found out that the Purples, with their alien technology, decided to join the fight. So, over a valley we had 3 factions all fighting eachother. It was so laggy, you could hardly aim. It was soo awesome.
But, the battle *still* wasn't over! We pushed back the blues and their now psuedo ally Purples across a bridge, and spent the next hour crossing this bridge with our ground troops and tanks. Finally, after finally destroying their tanks and bombers, we broke their lines and ended up taking the continent.
Yeah, us Reds were way overpowered/populated

Aww, memories!
