    the graphics look really great, especially if you crank up all the effects. motion blur adds a lot to this game if you can sustain high fps. apparently its the project offset engine.

    if you want a great shooter thats kinda like borderlands with a touch of unreal, then firefall is totally your game.

    i highly reccomend it, havent smiled this much playing a game in a while.    … Expand

    Ive been following and playing FireFall for 3 years now. Ive seen both company, game and community grow over this time. Being a World of Warcraft player since 2004, I have never found a mmo that could keep me hooked long enough, Ive finally found that game ive always wanted to play.

    To be honest i shouldnt buy that motorcycle because this game is terible. gameplay is boring,, questing is boring, everything sucks and boring, only good thing about this game is graphics, even crafting is boring

    I have been having a blast playing this, I got so sidetracked interacting with other players and the environment that I forgot all about the mission I was on for 2hours, but I helped out 6 different groups of people which was pretty satisfying. Looking forward to playing more.

    Its been a while, but I'm happy to be a part of Firefall's launch crowd. Sure, the game has seen a lot of rough patches, but for the crew's first released title, I shouldn't expect less.

    Very fun and fast paced FPS MMO. It had a rocky development but as it stands now, it is worth the time. Being a F2P you should at least give it a try. Beautiful map, fluid gun play and an interesting story. The ability to use boosters and gliders appeal to tribes fans while the shooting is similar to Borderlands. Overall a fun experience.

    Im a huge tribes fan so this game is right up my alley. I enjoy mmos and I also like borderlands. So to me this is almost everything I could ask for in a game. Sometimes it can be buggy but overall a well put together game and its f2p.

Additionally it sports a well done free to play model where all items are available to a person who does not pay.

    I would definitely recommend trying this game out and hope you like it enough to throw some money at the Red 5 so they can continue developing this enjoyable game.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed playing Firefall with my buddies. There are original concepts and we're all FPS fanatics. There are bad reviews about it, but we don't mind - as long as it's free and we're having fun with it, that's why I'm giving it a 10.

    Firefall's finally launched, and it was worth the wait. Red 5 studios has completely remade the game that was known for it's 'eternal' beta, and now has a real gem: It has the progression and content flow of an MMO, but the fun moment-to-moment gameplay of a shooter. I'm having a blast. Only question on my mind is: which battleframe (character class) to level up next?

    Cons?
    -When servers crowded It feels crowded than it should be but this is launch week and every MMO I played goes to stable after launch week.
    -Class balance and arena kind of game play should be implemented in future

    Verdict: Very Good FreeToPlay game overall you must try    … Expand

    PvP is alright, but it's bugged out though in some cases, but since release I've noticed some up spikes people entering in PvP - Use boing if you want to know how many people are on the server.

    You don't just HAVE to do quests, you can do ares missions, events like tornado, or Incursion event, so if it comes to people reviewing the system only saying there's "quests" please don't take too much of it, there's enough to do in the world to level.

    Crafting: You don't have to craft; there's items you can get from loot that are just as good if you ain't into crafting it's just an option.

    People only spend like 5 minutes on the game and review it on from there being "lame" if you really want to try out the game at least give it a good 2-3hours - you don't just have to do the quests.    … Expand

    Very polished (and well-manned, devs are formerly from Blizzard) somewhat-MMO FPS/TPS. It brings a fresh persistent-world shooter experience that's burritoed all together with exotic locales, a good class/role system, and somewhat different takes on crafting. The exhilarating experience of gliding around the map is a super bonus.

    The game is lacking content, but it got officially released like a month ago, and there's already teritories being opened, be patient.
    It's grindy and quests are so repeatable, but there's people who enjoy grindy mmo, i personally love it if it's made enjoyable and it sure is in Firefall and keeps being varied. The quests are repeatable indeed, but there's interesting story going on there i personally did all the quests and can't wait for new teritories to open so i can see how the story continues.
    There's constantly updates with changes in teritories and abilities without much announcing about them. Some are pissed about it (mainly about ability nerfing without announcing it) but it's a neccesary thing...
    Shortly... The game didn't progress that much during the long beta, but it's undenyable that it's progressing and now that it's released they are opening teritories=new content in a faster rate. The game is unique give it a chance if you think it's your cup of tea.    … Expand

    The game world is very large. Good thing you have jet boots, which can give you a boost forward and move a little faster, or you can make use of glider pads, going high up on buildings.

    A good game I found myself enjoying in farming more XP and Crystite. It's an FPS with other people. GIVE ME MORE!

    In the contrary to the critic review, I feel that this game is pretty good. Unlike other MMOs or MOBAs , Firefall offer a unique gameplay. For the new users, I highly recommend to start by grouping with other players not by soloing. Group activities are a lot of fun and better than soloing

    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.
