Red 5 Studios pulls the wraps off Firefall

This really does look promising, first f2p/mts that has captured my interest. Well... I guess there WAS Allods, but I trying to erase that treacherous game from memory.

looks like global agenda meets halflife 2

I like this. I like this alot.

First, read this:

Then you can revise your comment since you don't actually know what a F2P game is.

Looks like fun! I can see that this is what Borderlands could become if it went this direction. I'll keep an eye on this one for sure.

Getting a strong Tribes/Tribes 2 vibe from the preview trailer (some of the weapons, the vehicle movement, what appears to be classes based around weight, tight integration of jumppacks). Will definitely keep this on my radar.

It's as much an MMO as Guild Wars and APB are MMOs. Technically, GW can't handle more than what, a dozen or two people at a time outside of towns, and mostly PvP at that? Most instances are 8 players, tops. APB has a large social area and smaller action zones. CO and STO can't even handle more than 100 people in a shard or district.

The fact that there's even a town in there that everyone can visit without being instanced as well as it being a persistent world...well, I don't know how you canNOT call that an MMO. There's PvE, PvP, missions both in the world and in instances. That already qualifies it more than APB, which is just a step up from Modern Warfare 1 or 2. Just because this doesn't have 'MMO-style gameplay' doesn't necessarily make it less of an MMO. Have you read some of the things Massively covers? Some games are barely glorified chat rooms.

Regardless of what they -want- to be called, the minimum test for an 'MMO' has already been passed with APB and GW coverage...as far as what Massively covers, anyway. The actual definition can be debated somewhere else.

wow, looks like an improved version of the mmo Tabula Rasa!
