Long-awaited and heavily anticipated, Fallen Earth's Alpha County has long been the game's promised land, an environment that's at once near and far. But the release is just around the corner, and the developers are giving players a chance to peek behind the walls just a little bit early. Starting tomorrow, May 17th, Alpha County is going live on the public test server, giving all of the game's players the chance to wander around in a strange new territory.
For players who want to dive into the story on the actual release and no sooner, fear not -- the announcement promises that the test server won't offer any spoilers as to storyline. But players will be able to explore a new environment and get a feel for the lay of the land, even if they can't get a feel for every new piece of content right out of the gate. Fallen Earth players had best prepare for the test server sneak peek, as it's only a day away.

Interesting. One of the reasons I left the game was because I just couldn't take any more grey and brown environments.

Still doesn't change that the game feels clunky and old to play, even though it's fairly new. I want to like ALL sandbox games on the market -- as I think they're far more interesting than themepark MMOs -- but when a new game feels 10 years old, like Fallen Earth does, it's hard!

The graphics have been hugely improved since launch, and the "old school" feel is what attracts a lot of players to this game. The combat has been tweaked quite a bit since launch too.
Of course, much depends on the system you're playing the game on but on max settings it looks pretty good now and plays smoothly.
