First Assault Stress Tests Starts Tomorrow

By Michael Byrne, Editor-in-Chief September 30, 2015

Nexon's Ghost in the Shell inspired free to play game, First Assault, will kick off a stress test tomorrow, October 1st, and run until Monday, October 4th. Players who manage to reach level 2 during testing will receive an exclusive weapon skin. Anyone who plays during the stress test windows from 1-3 p.m. PDT on Friday, Oct.2 and Saturday, Oct. 3 will be entered for the chance to win Logitech Ultimate Hardware Bundles to ‘augment’ their gaming experience.

From the announcement:

During this test period, the community can check out challenges on maps inspired by “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex”, including PSS9, the headquarters of Section 9, an urban city skyscape and shadowy district ruins, bringing the Cyberpunk atmosphere to life in a new way.

To register for your chance to take part in this and future tests, visit the official website.

Bears a strong resemblance to CoD, minus the contemptible killstreak system. All that remains to be seen is the business model. Is Nexon turning a new leaf like they say they were or will this become Combat Arms 2.0?

I'm playing the game, I can't put it off, it's so awesome. I hope OBT and Official Release don't take long, I don't want to wait long between phases to play again.

First Assault looks amazing and plays pretty good, loading time takes awhile when you try getting into the game, but after that loading isn't a issues anymore.

i have a key and have it pre-downloaded cant wait to see what they will pull from this IP. ohh and BoB(who the hell uses that name any more) your looking at a video to judge a game.... a trailer at that okay maybe you should go back to playing LoL srry for another non moba release. if you like IP enough to know about her hair(which is wrong btw no their hair doesn't have any sensors, some of her team don't even have hair) then maybe you should try it out first well if your a known tester or a lotto winner tell then i guess you will have to wait and see.
