After almost two years in closed beta and numerous reworks to the various progression systems, Red 5 Studios has finally announced the open beta date for their MMOTPS Firefall. The sci-fi open world shooter will enter into open beta starting on July 9th. During the open beta Red 5 plans on adding new features and content including an episodic story campaign, more dynamic missions, world events, and open world PvP.

“ We're incredibly excited to be nearing what we consider to be the most important stage of Firefall’s development – Open Beta,” said James Macauley, Vice President of Development, Red 5 Studios. “For us, Open Beta isn'ta traditional ‘marketing beta’, but rather an opportunity to include many more players in our community-driven development process. We're looking forward to welcoming these new players into the community and continuing to build an amazing game together.”

Leading up to the open beta Red 5 plans on rolling out some major milestones starting in May. These milestones include; a new city power level system where players can receive bonuses and rewards by increasing the power level of major cities by completing local PvE content, melding exploration through the use of special dropships, Chosen instances and new crafting and Battleframe progression which includes a new UI.

I play firefall since the start of the closed beta and the devs do a thing every like 4 months. they change the progression/leveling/getin items completely and they wash all the thing you have done till then. when the game first came into beta you was leveling up and get unlocks and you craft then they make a tree-progression ((this period was my favorite the tree system was easy to get and nice maden)) AND NOW you gust get exp and spend it for a fckn upgrades for a thing you dont even get and that brake my conection with this game.

What I don't understand is that they specifically said they were not going to do an open beta in the first place.
They were going to stay closed till release.

Don't get me wrong, Firefall is a great game, but as it stand now, its getting so much backlash because of its underdeveloped status. With this being shifted to open beta in its state...it scares me a lot.

Been messing about, going on way too long, haven't played this for months, might give it a quick try if ppl start saying it's changed even more / isn't boring. Those who wanted to play found a code, even ppl were giving their extra keys away on the forum to give players a go so....no anticipation for the game since the majority that are / were interested have had their rummage through this gameplay.

I'll keep messing about in GW2 until the next ftp game starts (to give me a break from GW2, nothing so far has fulfilled the gaming needs), heck I'll even give Defiance a quick run over when it goes ftp

Haven't played Firefall in a long time, but i've been watching the game on some YT gaming channels. From what i've seen they did some major updates to crafting and i think you also need to craft Battleframe parts now. Looks cool. I need to check it out.

I'm glad they finally announced OB. Been so long in CB all the hype is gone for most of those that were excited about it. From what i know there won't be a wipe, at least that will save me from some farming :D
And i guess if CB is ending i will finally get to build my bike :D i hope that bike building update won't be delayed until release.
