Sterling: Beta is starting this Tuesday, they just told us that earlier today.
I too have been following this game for awhile, and I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. In addition to the project lead from WoW, they also have the lead designer from Tribes, and the author of Ender's Game working on this game. And it's free, what more can you want! :)

Thanks for the preview, Starkey! I watched some people play this and it looked pretty fun. I just hope they didn't blow all their budget on the bajillion ads I've seen.
This game is great, evnen with the X-Box controller support! After playing the Demo at PAX I am so pumped and know that this will be a true next gen game everyone will love to play.
The community is great and the Devs are in it 100% with us, so if your looking for a game that gives back as much as you put into it; then this is the game for you!

I've been following this game since september '10, and the more videos and screenshots that come out, the cleaner it looks. Just watching the most recent videos from PAX this weekend (8/25-8/27) has really got my hyped up to play.
I'm not really sure where to start if/when I get into beta. Whether it be the open world PvE content with friends, or causing a massacre in PvP. Plus it's FREE!!

Tuesday, August 30th should be the beginning of the Beta invite process which will roll out like a Google + invite tree. Read more at the forums here: www.firefallthegame.com
I heard Firefall was everywhere at PAX, even in the bathrooms. :D
Can't wait to play it, it looks so awesome.

More praise to Firefall! I have not seen a bad article yet. But i need to correct this guys class titles, its Medic, Assault, and Recon. There is also a 4th class of engineers but besides that, good article. just adds more fuel to my fire :D
The best bit i think is hearing how noob-life starts in the game, that is one thing i have not heard about.

I think we already have our GOTY. COD who? Battlefield what? Firefall is where its at. You guys have yet to read a bad review because you cant say anything bad about a game so good.
Its good hear that the loot people can recieve can completely change the way you play. I can only wonder of all the possibilities out there to mix and match the loadouts of your battleframes and weapons. In fact, if it can cause a person to tinker and experiment with such modifications for hours then I say that's a big plus going for this game too!
I have to admit it i am inlove with the concepts of this game :D and cant wait to put there game through the ringer XD
Love all the new info coming out of pax, just making me more and more hyped about this game. For those of you that are curious they announced they would start doing beta selection off of the fourms after pax is over, they will hand out invites over time and give invites to players already invited to give to their friends. and approaching a final character wipe/item shop release in december
The game has come a long ways when they first started putting out videos. I'm looking forward to beta and checking this one out. If you're not sure if it's for you, take a look at their site and hit up YouTube. There's a lot of interviews and videos out there to get you interested if you're on the fence.
Ah, nice! Loving the attention the game is getting! Have to agree with Uz3r013 how it's a little off putting how the article didn't list the battle frame names right and how it didn't even list the Engineer, but it's not that big a deal I guess. This Tuesday should be interesting to see. ^_^
Anyone know if the beta sign-up they did at last year's PAX with those keycards is gonna mean anything? Because I was there for that and really wanna get into that beta
i've been following this game for a while now.
really looking forward to. actually this is the game you should look forward to if you are a shooter person but also like world of warcraft.
sign up to the forums (you're automatically registered for beta) and say hello. really nice community. no haters, no flamers. all good people, still. ;)

Firefall has grown so much since I noticed it last year, so jealous you got to play the PvE dropship mission already, sounds like the current features and missions are polished well. Can't wait to see the character/battleframe progression offer a lot of different play styles and to hear that in only 30min your character made a significant increase gets me very excited.
I've been following this game for quite a while and man, what a show so far. We've had the chance of watching some livestream. An epic show including open world pve, a new game mode, a new pvp map and the 4th battleframe.
Tuesday will be the day that beta starts so that so should be a very exciting day as well :D.

Looks cool, although I have to admit that it does sound very, very much like Global Agenda (which is an awesome game, I'm just not convinced I need two of it).
Thanks for this preview. It's nice to know that the open world in Firefall is causing a good impression at PAX... the PVE is what I really want to check out as soon as I can play the game, as I think it is what really makes the game different to most others. They want this game to last for several years, wich means that the world is only going to expand and more features will appear!
I've been following this game since the beginning of March, and I've got to say that they keep surprising me with their awesome footage. Everything they show is even better than I imagined :p I really hope I get in the Firefall beta
Nice that you mention "instanced eSports maps", it's going to be great to watch live competitive matches. Nice article!
concerning the keycards from last year's PAX - your guess is as good as mine, the good thing is there will be a lot of ways to get into the beta, so just stick around, you'll get it eventually
Game looks great really looking forward to it. The amount of good press about this game coming out of pax is just astonishing. I hope I have a chance to play it myself soon. I hope to see more about this game soon.
This game is definitely looking great, I am so happy that it is coming out soon!
I'm not sure what to play first, PvP or PvE, what do you guys think?

Nice read, but it would've been nice if you would've gone more in-depth with the PvE.
A side note: the heavy weapons exoskeleton is called assault.

I have been watching for this game for a long time. Borderlands in a persistent world is right up my alley. I hope that the shooter combat is as fun as it looks.
I had no idea Mark Kern was the project lead of WoW though, sounds good to me!

Dynamic PvE missions look incredible. I can't wait to get "thumpin'" in the beta as soon as possible. Firefall looks to be the best F2P title this year.

To those who think that Firefall is like GA:
They both have sci-fi themes, they both have jetpacks, and they have similar class names. If you learn, read up some facts, watch some trailers, you'll realize that they are actually quite different. I won't deny their similarities, but I will say that there are some significant changes in gameplay.

It should be interesting to see how Firefall does in the esports pvp arena style of play. Its got some pretty big dogs it needs to knock off (TF2, MW, Halo) but I think they could do it.
On a different note, what games are people playing now that you think Firefall will displace? For me its TF2
