We mentioned the other day that Sony Online Entertainment was set to unveil the much-awaited official launch date of their online shooter PlanetSide 2. That occurrence has now come to pass, as it was announced today as going live on November 20, 2012, in both North America and Europe.

The beta has been going on for a while and, according to Sony, a ton (read: 2.87 billion) projectiles have been fired by those testers alone. Armed with that info, what will you do? Pick up a weapon on November 20th? I guess we'll see how well the game's beta success translates into actual live players. That's the waiting game we play with any MMO, isn't it?
