Heard about this the other day and though to myself, ooh another 'Planet Side 2!' Only it isn't, it's better? It has a lot going on for it, and with a recent update there are lots of world events that help break up the grind of leveling. I was going to give this game a nice write up, but then they decided to do a 26 hour server maintenance today (Who the Block does that??? Seriously stupid!) and so they're not getting the full love and attention that they deserve.
While the servers can lag a bit from time to time, and perhaps the 26 hours of downtime will remedy that situation, there is a full and rich world to explore in Firefall. In contrast to that other title, there's a story mode every time you gain a level you get to test your skills against more and more challenging AI and maps. There are puzzle quests and glider mazes to complete in these quests. Also there's a feeling that you've accomplished something by living through to the end of the quest. It isn't like most games where the finish is a guarantee. The quests actually need some thought and skill to finish them. Not many games do that these days! Most other games just want to placate the people who bought it and offer up an experience too similar to all of its competitors. I for one am sick and tired of regurgitated pablum and thankful for something to occupy my time that doesn't require the loss of brain cells to play.
Here's hoping the servers are back soon. And that I get to see a few more people out there having fun with it too!

For me the game has gotten worse since the earlier builds.
They changed it and changed it and changed it and everytime something else was like the other and like the new whatever they brought.
In the end it was all dull.
Aint saw it for .. since ArcheAge launched, but i had a great time in Firefall ..
Mark Kern's elimination came far too late to save the game. The graphics have gotten quite dated, the Chinese launch was a disaster, and the game is still having a hard time finding an identity.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

Why I have the feeling of dejavu all over again and the tutorial and the first few quests feel familiarly awful? What year is this? 2014?
I like the open world with dynamic events, but they require that some other player(s) also choose to join in otherwise they are mostly impossible.
Classes are (were?) very interesting and with actual coop mechanics which is where Firefall outshines itscompetitors.
Combat was fun and challenging, both for roaming the world doing quests and coop play events and instances.
The idea of freeing areas from the "mist" (forgot what they call it), is awesome and the battle to unlock is kindda epic and require a good amount of players over many hours. This idea has good potential as content and mega events to get player community going if they put in enough reasons to do them.
The style is an aquired taste, with realistic environment but highly stylized cartoonish character models, and this mix is wierd in a way.... But if you can get over that and past the railroaded first 10 levels, there is an interesting game opening up.
So yeah a good game already and lots of potential, but it didn't seem to have changed and matured much in a year which makes me wonder, what is going on?

Don't believe people that goes around spreading lies,if you want proof just go on official forum and read all the post.
There's a lot of potential with this game. But so much is broken you can't ever really have fun. Forget what I said and keep moving along.
I guess Mark Kern wasn't the only idiot in charge over there.

my Broken Peninsula mods
Necro weapons are still the strongest in game, which have been deleted like three patches ago so it's pretty unfair
and now they did another complete schitzophrenic overhaul.
Not to say the core-base is very good.
I really enjoyed it and put lots of hours into it.
and then you get to know it ;-)
Enjoy the leveling !
