Firefall MMOFPS [2011]

While they have said it's not a 'release date' in the normal sense as F2P, beta ends and everyone joins in this December.
Really hoping this succeeds...
 
So has anyone got into the beta here? I've signed up - hoping to get in, think they are people that get in get to invite a friend to - so if anyone here gets in and wants to donate an invite to me I would be most grateful! :)
 
Haven't heard anything yet. I love the whole open world concept - walk glide or fly anywhere by the look of it. I'd be happier without the cel shading, but if everything else works, I'll live with it :)
 
They have stated the first round of Beta's will mostly depend on 'Community contribution' on their forums plus a few more at random. I'm not much of a poster on any forums, so hoping for one of the random Beta invites. Doesn't seem likely though.
Those that do get invites will get the chance to invite friends in as well so test the grouping side of it. Fingers crossed an OCUKer gets an invite and can pass friend invites on so we can start an OCUK Firefall guild in beta.
 
Does anyone here have beta for this yet? Seems folks in beta get to invite friends to beta, they are after community building before this even gets out the door which definitely gets my vote.

Wait, so if you post endless drivel about how 'awsum dis game is gonna b!' in multiple threads on their forum you get rewarded for it? :eek: At least that's what most pre-release game forums are like that I've seen?:confused:
 
Yes. I've not posted on there yet as I'm a lurker (see my post count here after many years of using the site), so will unlikely get a Beta. I guess the reasoning behind it is if you post more you are more vocal and therefore more likely to express your opinion during the beta, which is kinda what they want.
 
Rather than play the stupid spamming.. er I mean posting game on the firefall forums to get a Beta Key, I thought it better to stick to the community I know - ie. this one.
Does anyone have a spare Beta key or is in the Beta and can comment on how good Firefall is?
Going into this game with a similar community we have to BF3 would be great!
 
Despite what the videos show the game isn't even in a state for public testing yet, it's that bad. You can't do anything aside from shoot your weapon at a few bugs, move around, no teaming, no chat, it's all very very buggy so don't expect to play it as if it was near a final build right now.

It's not a complaint, but it should sate your want to play it right way :P
 
That brings us to the next big phase of the beta... At PAX East 2012 starting Friday, April 6th, the attendees of PAX will be playing the live beta with the rest of you. They will have the same experiences that you have and enjoy in the same trials and tribulations. This is a huge moment for us as a community to show people how much fun the game can be.

All of those that play Firefall at PAX will be welcomed into the beta when they return home. So these people will also become members of this beta community. Welcome them with open arms. Wait until they are comfortable before shooting them in the face. Help them out in chat. Group with them, offer help on how to play the game. Help us fully convert PAX attendees to Firefall supporters!

And now the biggest announcement of this thread... Since everyone at PAX will have access to the same content you have access to, it wouldn't be fair for them to be able to talk about those experiences while all of you are kept silent. The NDA will be lifted on Friday, April 6th at 10am Eastern (the same time players at PAX are able to play).

Remember that any footage or screenshots captured before Friday, April 6th atBeta so far has been awesome. And we are extremely happy with how this community has pulled together to help make Firefall a better game.

On Monday, April 2nd, the beta servers will be turned on 24/7.

Red 5 SpecOps customer support will be available 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm Pacific time.

Operational support may require time to fix things, so expect random downtimes.

PAX East players will be playing live on the beta servers.

On Friday, April 6th at 10am Eastern time, the NDA will be lifted. Share your experiences.
