Ah, but Freelancer is easy to "aquire".
BF1942 is not quite so easy.
Discovery - PlanetFall - Magoo! - 06-10-2008
Hmm...
*looks at C&C 3*
*looks at Kane's Wrath*
Anybody?
Or Rise of Nations...
Or Empire Earth...
Or yeah, BF-2142 would work best if you're looking for an FPS. Although I really think an RTS would fit better for the large-scale ness.
For instance, reinforcements from X could come in and help Y against attackers Z. X and Y could be Kusari defenders and Z could be Bretonian attackers in an RTS. I know it'd work spectacularly with C&C.
-Edit- OMG! C&C Renegade!

Hell for once i have to agree with Tenacity BF2142 would be alot better than Halo but as yuo said people would have to buy it, i have BF2142 so i'm not going to say anything.
But you could always Download it if you dont wanna buy it, EA are rich enough not to have a go about 100 people downloading it well thats how i see it:PPlus everyone is Human on BF2142 and well yer ( i have all the guns) hehehehe
EDIT: also just found out that BF2142 has a demo if that helps at all

Like I said, I have ways to go around the restrictions in Halo Trial...
C&C Renegade is also a good option, but I prefer it's total conversion, Red Alert: A Path Beyond. It's freeware, and contains vehicles and such. I have heard, however, that APB's sys reqs are a little funky, such as requiring DX 10, which is only vista compatible. I need to experiment more with it before anything kicks off.
At this point in time, before the any other testing, trying, and options, the platform we are using is Halo Trial.
--------------------------------------------
The larger scaling is a terrific idea, on the basis of an RTS. It would allow a new facet of combat stratics, and etc... My original idea of using Halo trial, however, was to allow players to be able to RP as individuals in a situation, not just a commander relaying orders.
If I am going to be part of the devgru on it though, I can assure that it will probably be a modification of either C&C3, Starcraft 2, Starcraft 1, or Star Wars - Empire at War.
My personal favorite would be SW-EW, but it is apparently infamously hard to mod. However, it would allow for space and land combat, and interesting dynamic. The same applies to the other three options - Space and Land.
I guess if that were ever worked on, it would be Discovery - The Will of Nations, or something like that...heh.
EDIT: Remember that if we use an FPS with a clear and definite premise, aka backstory, in it's MP...it's often difficult RP properly in it. As a result, it would require significant modding. Halo Trial really has nothing about halo in it...so...it's more or less strings free.

So..What will this server be called, when will it run, and why haven't you told us yet?
Discovery - PlanetFall - kingvaillant - 06-10-2008
Return to castle Wolfenstein?
Easy to mod, full version free, can be runned on everything
Discovery - PlanetFall - pchwang - 06-10-2008
Oh my.
The test server is going to be called: DiscoRP
Password: igiss No capitalizations
The Server will be up in the next 10 minutes. Style will be Pro Equipment, Team Slayer, Radars off.
The current time is 4:13 GMT.
EDIT: @ king: Again, totally full with WWII themes. Not exactly futuristic. Required modding.
Discovery - PlanetFall - Boss - 06-10-2008
Gah, where's my shortcut!
Discovery - PlanetFall - pchwang - 06-10-2008
Server's up.
Again, it's DiscoRP
Password: igiss
At your top left, there should be a button to separate the locked(passworded) games from the non passworded games(public). hit that, and you should find our server more easily.

Planetfall.
Sounds most Freelancer-like because it's the word used in Malta's description.
