The graphics are pretty amazing. Travel (once you pay for it) is pretty cool; you get gliders and motorcycles to ride around the open zones with.

    Level system sucks: It's hard to play with your friends (especially if you're the lower leveled one) because they're off grinding away at higher level content that your just unable to participate in, and even if you did you don't get rewarded for it because it's too high level. Typical MMO "grind to max level so you can start playing the game" crap; typical Free 2 Play "We're going to make this take way longer than it should and prevent you from using your actual shooter skill to skip content so we can sell you xp boosters."

    The PvP is TERRIBLE! I went in as a level 30 to the PvP zone and met up with another player (lvl 40) that was on my "team". There weren't very many people in the PvP zone and we wanted to see how much damage the "bike with guns" would do to him, so we dueled. The game kicked me off the bike and wouldn't let me back on... fine no bikes in duels. The other player wanted to know how much damage I could do to him so he stood still while I shot him in the head. Nothing but straight headshots and he could out regenerate all my damage. Level and gear completely outweigh skill; which is horrible for a shooter. Your skill will only come into play if you are the same level and close to the same gear rating.

    The crafting is designed to sell you resource boosters and you can pay to skip the long wait time (days in some cases) between clicking craft and getting your item.

    The player to player economy is doomed for failure as there are infinite resources, your gear never needs to be replaced, and there is a finite player base. It doesn't take an economical genius to figure out that the market will be saturated in short order.

    The graphics are great! After you pay to get an LGV (motorcycle thingy) and a glider pad, traveling around the zones is some of the most fun I've had getting from boring kill quest to boring fetch quest in a video game. The storyline instances are pretty fun, but they're gated by forcing you to hit certain levels to play them.

    Overall, the game is too much of a grind fest, the quests are too repetitive, and FPS skill means very little. It doesn't feel rewarding, it just feels tedious.

    I'm giving it 2 for the world travel and graphics and 2 for the storyline instances.    … Expand

    I agree with the other critics: Nothing to keep me playing. No end game, lack of meaningful content. The game had tremendous potential, it just never happened.

    It would be a decent product for what you pay, but there are plenty of good F2P games to spend time on.

    The gunplay is nice... inspired by Tribes, and dumbed down. The MMO aspects severely lack.

    Give it a shot, then delete it and move on. Investing time or money in it will just disappoint. Its a failure of a game... and one they're desperately trying to monetize.

It feels like R5 really had something going for it w/ the original idea, then too many power hungry people got their grubby hands in too many different aspects of it and the end result is a complete mess. Trying to please too many people at once, including their own investors and employees, rather than sticking to one thing and just doing it well, is what caused this catastrophe. There's no staying power other than the fact that it's the only thing that tries to combine a lot of people's favorite genres besides Borderlands 2 (which had it's own minor problems regarding a lack of replay value). The problem is, it does none of them well... and leaves me, personally, constantly searching for an as yet unavailable alternative. But alternatives will be coming and, unless they get their sh*t together and stop trying to jerk everybody off at the same time, Firefall (and R5) will be quickly forgotten.… Expand

Only thing was Red5 was still pushing it as something they knew they never intended to make.
    Ask around, you will find people who had their accounts deleted, posted edited and threats made by the Community Manager Phobos (who has zero qualifications to manage anything more then his own bowel movements). In 2012 somebody told me that Firefall was to be an inch deep and a mile wide. They were correct. The game today in no way resembled the one they showed us when we were at Red5 Studios other then it still has guns. No in depth community activity in game, no economy based around the Chosen War. In fact the economy is a treadmill of repairing gear and there really is no more Chosen War. Oh, look for the early art for the Melding Gates. Were they created because in 2010 they already knew of the limitations? Good luck getting an honest answer from that.
    The game is now garbage. Steaming pile of rotting garbage awaiting its day to be taken to the dumpster. It isn't a matter of if it closes but when and The9 is working on a console system of their own for China so don't expect any financial support from them.
    The concept was great. They should have known in 2010 what the limitations were but they are not a trustworthy bunch in my opinion so I would doubt any answer they gave.
    They took a decent open world shooter and turned it into a Chinese market Grinder with bits of **** I say **** because it doesn't even do the Shooter aspects worth a damn.
    Look at Glassdoor, google old 2010 articles about what The9 did to the company, see what they did when they removed Grummz (a repeat of 2010), then look at the state of the game and the blanket denial by Red5 that anything is wrong.
    AI is garbage.
    PVP is worth about the same, garbage.
    Economy makes zero sense.
    They don't sell power, they just make you so miserable you are forced to pay for easier access.
    The shooting feels as empty and emotionless as Duck Hunt.
    The missions are extremely repetitive.
    There is no Chosen War or reason for the game existing.
    The random lag spikes are present 4yrs on into the games life.
    Gated content prevents you from playing with others and those the correct level rarely play anymore.
    For having an exo-suit you sure do run slow.
    Bunny hop combat. Not much else to say about that.
    Horrible voice acting, deaf lesbian porn has better acting.
    There is no dynamic world like promised. Instead it has a static world with randomly generated events.
    NPC's are zero help in defending their own towns let alone themselves.
    Terrain exploits.
    Almost no real customization. Hats, stupid, idiotic hats but little else.
    It feels like all the hitboxes are the same size regardless of the frame you are using.
    Two dimensional presentations can still make you feel a sense of distance, just not in this game.
    All the best art work was done by somebody who left the company in 2010.
    They keep blaming a past CEO for decisions The9 made and James agreed to. Now James in in charge but only until they replace him or shut things down.
    I regret the time I put into the game and the times I recommended it to friends.
    It was one of the worst outcomes I have seen from something I was part of so early on. **** in and **** out. They started putting pure **** into the game and the real developers grabbed their **** and got out.    … Expand

    In theory it should be a good game. Open world shooter with mechs(or mechish suits, whatever). Unfortunately the game is just tedious to play. Run across the map to kill 6 mobs, just to run across the map and kill 6 more mobs.

    It's also full of bugs and horrible AI.

    Maybe they should've taken another 2 years to build the game, because the concept is great...but the game is just awful.

Now, the important thing here is that I wanted to play one of the advanced classes as my main class, so I have the option of paying $15 to unlock it or playing one of the basic classes up to max level to unlock an advanced class. I get that the devs need to make money, too, but telling me I either have to pay $15 or spend hours leveling a class, only so that I can start leveling the actual class I want to play is very poor design.

    I started playing again at release and I just can't bring myself to play for more than a couple hours at a time. On top of all of the annoyances of the class system, the quest system is back to square one as far as MMOs are concerned. Every quest is 'go here, kill 5-10 dudes, go here and kill 5-10 dudes, go here and kill 5-10 dudes, turn quest in.' In the age of quest systems such as GW2's, this is unacceptable. On top of all of this, the AI is the worst AI I have ever seen in a shooter; to make up for this, the mobs hit very hard and spawn in ridiculous groups that will instagib you.

    Honestly, I would recommend that everyone avoid this game like the plague. I just feel sorry for the poor souls who gave these devs money.    … Expand

Could have been a fun offline game if they had built on this and made a fun main campaign but as a mmo it keeps giving you Missions that are 80% running and such a tiny amount of content and PvP that forces you to play in a antifun way with unbalanced "classes"

    Questing is tedious and boring, every quest is the same. Go to location xyz (half km away) click on 4 objects, kill 6 hostiles, walk back, get some meaningless reward. Repeat. NPCs (Aero/Oilspill) are super annoying and never shut up nor ever say anything meaningful either.

    Quite a sorry show. Despite what the professional reviews are saying, this is not an original concept. The game is very nearly a carbon copy of Global Agenda, a game more highly reviewed by professional and gamer alike. Unsurprisingly, the game has released in a similarly poor launch to a market with less patience. I guess this won't be the Global Agenda "killer" (as if it needed one) after all.

    The game is a downright train wreck. Red 5 failed over and over, and this "release" isn't showing anything promising, quite the contrary. The developers have no idea how to create the game, they have no leadership and no contact with the community. They ignored all pleas from a once dedicated and loving community that they had.

    Worst Cell shading since PS1

    But there are some good points too:

    It's a veritable free to play
    Somehow poetic environnement, sometimes contemplative
    A step forward for dynamicly generated content in open world games
    Adapted content for relaxed group plays, especially for under aged players

    My verdict is that Defiance is a better mmofps in every aspects of it and it's not a good thing. There are better mmofps, including f2p mmofps everywhere. This game doesn't deserve any time spent on it in its actual state despite being free. Majong 2013 demo would certainly proves itself more entertaining than this.    … Expand

    Sorry Firefall but I'm jumping ship. I can't wait this long for new updates. It has been 4 years of beta up to this point and you still haven't decided what you want your game to be. Let's face it, the game is still in beta. Now you are working on yet another new update which will drastically change the whole system with no release date in sight. It will take another 1-2 years before itSorry Firefall but I'm jumping ship. I can't wait this long for new updates.

Now you are working on yet another new update which will drastically change the whole system with no release date in sight. It will take another 1-2 years before it fully sees the light of day since you have decided to release this new update in parts. I have had enough of waiting and deleted my character because it's time for me to move onto greener pastures where the future is more certain. P.S; Please stop removing and changing things in the game when they were working just fine in the first place. Yours Sincerely; A disgruntled player who bought the Commanders Founder pack and had a lot of fun despite of the decisions made at the top.… Expand

    Firefall probably is the most innovative MMO of the last period, whose indisputable merits are, however, counterbalanced by significant technical gaps as well as a general flatness of end-game contents. Worth much, but it could've been even better.

    The story of Firefall’s development (9 years!) is much more interesting than the game itself. [Nov 2014, p.54]

    The potential is there in the gunplay, but it's covered with shonky visuals and lifeless, grinding action. [Nov 2014, p.73]
