As some of you may know, there is a F2P MMO shooter in closed beta right now by the name of FireFall. For those of you who haven't heard of it, the premise is that we found a energy source called Crystite that far exceeds any other we've managed to stumble across. We exploit the crap out of it, advancing our technology a good bit beyond what we have now, making such things as energy weapons and personal "mech" suits called Frames. The problem is that we blew it and now a horrible world changing storm called The Melding" has descended on our planet and has made most of it inhabitable. We have found ways to push back The Melding but new and sometimes very dangerous creatures have emerged from it along with a hostile humanoid race known only as The Chosen. Fight back and reclaim earth!
It is primarily a FPS / RTS with some RPG aspects sprinkled in. Each character can be any "class" known as battleframes and they all level independently. Each battleframe also has its own skill set and weapons. The overall art direction of the game is kind of cartoonish but it's not off putting. There are missions / quests that you can do, but are limited right now due to it's beta state, and there are also random world wide missions that occur such as Chosen dropships to be destroyed, repulsor towers to retake, things like that. You can also gather resources for crafting weapons, equipment, or health and ammo packs. Armies (guilds) are also in the game at this point.
From time to time I get closed beta invites for the game that I can send to those interested. The website for the game is www.firefallthegame.com
What do you guys think? Is it something you would like to get in on or just another free to play MMO in an already saturated market?
Current Beta invites available: 3
