Despite going to both PAX Prime and PAX East in 2011 and Firefall's noticeable presence at both events, I haven't actually tried it yet. Which is a shame, because the more I see of the game, the more I feel compelled to play it.
And this new trailer for the Dreadnaught battleframe shows the different talents and abilities you'll have on offer if you pick this minigun-carrying class. Unlike the slow, pondering Heavy from Team Fortress 2, the Dreadnaught seems to have a good range of skills that will stop them from being bogged down or picked off from afar.
Plus you throw in jetpacks into the deal and Firefall is looking like a fun game. But with PlanetSide 2 on its way, will there be room for two big MMO/shooter titles? Have you guys already picked a game as the one for you, or is there enough room in your heart for both?
On the other hand, DAT ARMOR. WTF?! The male armor is bad enough (Y U NO PROTECT ARMS) but the females are wearing basically underwear with a few UNstrategically placed plates.
Seriously, look at this:

Vital organs are called vital for a reason!
But whatever, it's free, so I'll just play it while seething about my lack of protection. Maybe there'll be a few sets that sacrifice sexiness for not dying.

I played Firefall last year at PAX and even then it was a very impressive shooter. The mechanics were awesome, the art style looks great, and all of the different classes were fun to play. That alone should be enough to make a good free-to-play shooter, but Firefall wants to be more than that. There is a whole open world with crafting, missions, and player interactions.more
