Does anyone else play this Free 2 Play Shooter? It plays out amazing compared to all the other Free 2 Play Shooters I've ever played. It's in Closed Beta Right now...

For those who don't know what I'm talking about

Looks very promising. I'm not in the beta, but when it comes out, I think that this ought to be a competitor to many of the paid games in the FPS field.

Got the chance to play this today. It's in Open Beta right now so go download it now:
http://blacklight.perfectworld.com/download

It plays great and I really love it. I don't like the way buying things works though. I'd rather have things cost more ingame credits but be permanent, rather than cheap but temporary. Whatever though, this game is sweet. The fact that there are so many things to customize for your weapon is awesome.

Only other complaint really is that there is currently no game mode without respawn(CS style). But from what I was told, that game mode is in the works and should be out soon.

Since it's by Perfect World, I would expect this to be much more expensive to play than most "paid" titles. Their games tend to be extremely imbalanced towards paid players. Any insights on how much it will cost to keep yourself competitive?

it's actually really fun right now, but that's because there aren't many pay2win people yet.

it's going to be another pay2win FPS game (there are MANY out there) that aren't fun at all if you don't pay. i think its ~20k to perma unlock a primary gun, and i played like 5-6 games and have <400. there are like 5-7 upgrades you can get JUST for your gun, and they all cost >2k ea for perma unlocks. if you don't want to pay, expect to play for ages and ages if you want perma stuff...there are upgrades for primary, secondary, multiple primary & secondary guns, 3 different armor pieces you need, nades, etc etc etc

Okay, I take back what I said about the way buying things works. It's actually not that bad. I thought you weren't able to buy things permanently but apparently all you gotta do is switch it from 1 day to permanent. This of course makes the item more expensive but I'm happy that we can do this. I don't mind having to put in time to earn equipment and weapons. This game is sweet so far.

They already increased the GP rates a couple days ago, by 30%. It's extremely fun, but there are people who use real money to shit on everyone with their uber guns. But they have to make money somehow...

If you're a half-competent FPS player you should have no trouble getting around with even the most basic of equipment, anything real money can buy, you can buy with the in-game cash, and the rates have been much improved.

i'm a pretty good FPS player and was doing decent. i went like 20-2 or some shit. but once you realize that when someone has full armor they take more shots to kill, and they have a better gun than you meaning you have less armor + their gun does more dmg = they need to land half of the shots that you do.

I liked the first one Tango down on Xbox, downloaded this tonight but the registration page is being a dick, so I'm waiting for support to get back to me.

If the gun system works like it did on the xbox, the unlocks make such a difference, the xbox version turned into people just running around full speed upgrades with smgs, you couldn't stop them.

Hope the maps are better too, they were good on tango down, but every single game ended in a spawn trap scenario due to the games symmetrical designs, spawn area's and the visor.

I've been playing this alot lately~ For those worried about the length of time needed to buy guns, don't be. While leveling up they will give you guns and mods for free for a limited amount of time, by the time you hit a point where leveling is slower you will have enough GP to buy 2 guns with mods and armor for yourself. I've only been playing for 2 days, lvl 11, and I have 8k GP, enough for a perma gun~ Just don't open your gift packs to quickly as they start the timer as soon as you open them.

So far the pay2win doesnt seem to bad. The lower level guys are limited to what they can buy due to there level so I can still shit on them. Havn't played too many high levels but they didn't seem to do any better or worse than the average.

The maps are really good too, except one reallly shitty one I think its called Containment, its like a mini lazer gun course with a tower in the middle and 4 rooms around lol. Also having 5 different modes is really refreshing~

Real quick tip. When you see an enemy hardsuit don't fret. Just buy a flamethrower in game for 300 credits and burn them in less then 1.5 seconds.

the game seems to be pretty good though the guns are very uninspired considering the futuristic setting they are using. I had hoped for more UT like guns.

Really enjoying this game. It's great because you don't feel underpowered, even when fighting against the people who have bought packs for it. Would seriously reccomend.

Maybe when more TLers play it we should set up a clan of some sort?

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Great game, very good (not perfect, the guns are a bit overpriced) f2p model. I love how much customization there is, shame I don't really mass game games now so the renting is a bit meh for me :/ But as TB said, the game is much more balanced and fair than it should be

Good game and the gun feels just right. The only thing I have beefs against is their server is unstable as crap. I keep getting D/Ced every 2 games or something.
... funerals are insane, the chicks are so horny, its not even fair, its like fishing with dynamite ...
