Didnt attend Gamescom, but voted PS2 anyway. So It turns out that halflife 3 was hoax huh?

Lol, yes, fuc*ing HL3. But the other games there were all pretty good. Was unimpressed with Firefall, I liked Hawken, and A few others.

I have yet to play FireFall, but what's wrong with it?

it just doesnt have a lot of content atm. its like 20 percent done. ppl are selling it short. red5 just revamped their mechanics based on user feedback. Never hear of developers doing that....

you can't say its good or not good yet. if your looking specifically at pvp yeah its decent. All other elements are no where near completion. There's even an invasion feature that hasn't been implemented yet. (huge ship in the sky, cities have turrets, shoot ship, protect city). It's an incomplete game. I feel it's still Alpha, even if people say its beta.

Alpha - Major features are in

Beta - Majority of features are in, bugs/glitches/performance issues needs to be fixed.

So of coarse it's going to be unimpressive, I don't see why it wouldn't be, it's in beta.

pretty much my point. PS2 is much further along than Firefall.

Yeah, PS2 even in Alpha looked more appealing then most games in their beta and final stages.

Firefall is good.... GREAT even.

It's another open world persistent F2P shooter but with PvE focus and PvP arenas rather than the world war that planetside is.

Red5 is also an outstanding dev team, and they're as interactive with their community as SOE is, if not more.

I'll definitely turn to Firefall for my PvE coop fix, which is another reason I opposed the NPC armies idea... I want Planetside to stay pure PvP, there are other games designed around PvE that I'll play for that fix (WHICH, I should point out, is significantly less than my PvP game time SOE... so think carefully before you go changing your game

)

As noted above too, they just did a massive class rebalancing and redesign based on both PvE and PvP feedback. They still have TONS of work to do for sure... PvE content is fun but they need more. LOTS more. And yah, the whole invasion thing isn't complete and all kinds of things.

It's gameplay is tight, the classes are fun, the UI takes a minute to get used to but it's really non-obtrusive and really easy once you get the hang of it. It's a really well designed game, and I don't want people who are just reading this thread hearing about it for the first time dismiss it so easily.

FFS it's going to be F2P so there's no reason to not even try it out. If you like Coop shooters, it looks like it'll serve that dish up nicely. You can sign up for beta here: https://beta.firefallthegame.com/accounts/new

We *occasionally* get invites to send out too, so if anyone's really interested, PM me. I don't have any at the moment but I'll serve em out first come first serve as I get em. Sign up for beta first of course

Keyword: Looked.

I voted Guild wars 2.

Excuse me while I cut my wrist for every dollar I spent on station cash during the two for one sale.

I don't blame you for voting for GW2 tbh.

Its amazing looking, its a one time purchase ftpmmo, and the lore is fucking epic.
Personally however, I had to vote for PS2, because GW2 already has the attention it needs.

FireFall is a FireFail. Terrible game.
