Anybody here ever hear of Firefall? I've been following this game for over 2 years, was kinda inactively involved with the closed beta, and now its in the open beta.
Open beta means it is still not the official full content release, so there are still some bugs to be found and worked out, as well as balance issues and whatnot, but overall the game is fairly polished.
I've been pretty hard at it since open beta (july 9th) and really it is a fantastic game. Either 3rd person or 1st person open world MMOFPS if you will. Think of open world Borderlands to get a picture in your head.
The game is focused around crafting - and might i say, it is the BEST crafting system i've ever played in any other game of my life. If crafting isn't your thing (if anything, this game will turn you onto it) theres other options so do not worry.
Activities range from what are called "ARES" missions, basically your run of the mill open world mission you can go to and tackle, with various difficulties currently ranging from solo stage 1/2 or group stage 1/2. As well as tornadoes to kill, chosen strike teams to murder off, chosen incursions and even full on evasions of a major city in the game! To which, if they win that city is taken over and lost for 3 hours. Last but not least, thumping.
Thumping is the games way of collecting a specific and large amount of resources used in the crafting system. You drop a thumper and it mines the ground, attracting a lot of attention in the process to which you need to do your best in defending so your thumper doesn't get destroyed, and you make away with the loot.
There is a whole story to the game, which is pretty decent but a little incomplete with the current content but will definitely be developed as content is added in game.
Now before i post a couple videos of the game let me give my opinion. Right now the community is absolutely outstanding. The game itself is some of the most fun i've had in online gaming for an extremely long time. The action is non-stop and its a BLAST. You can use every basic battlesuit (class, or job) from the start which really allows you to get the feel of what you like best and what you'll upgrade.
the chaos and carnage you can get involved in this game is incredible, and its super fun. Me and a couple of game buddies were doing a squad thumper (which is VERY difficult) all the while a tornado came AND a hoard of brontodons were aggrod to our position. It was mass chaos and epic fun. I think a lot of ppl in our community would enjoy this game.
Now for some videos.
