I hope this MMO gets the talent and funding it deserves. It could be a great game due to the IP.

Its not a MMO, more a online shooter-kinda game. I think its 16 players per map... or maybe it was 16v16. I'm sure it'll have some RPG elements such as character progression, gear-sets or 'loadouts' and the such.

It will start as Mechcombat game where the results of the battles have impact on the persistent Starmap/Worlds.
The Battles will be at max 12 vs 12 using Cryengine3.
There will probably be some Progression/Management regarding to Skills and Equipment.
It will be start as F2P.
The Forums now have more than 42.000 registered Members and everyone hopes for an excciting game that rejuvenates the IP and open up Chances for even deeper gameplay.
If a PvP-game has a chance to offer "balanced" gameplay, really challenging strategic and tactitcal gameplay and make Playerskill matter than this one - since Daoc the first game that gets me excited about PVP!

PS: I hate FPS games, i am a Sim and RPG Player.
