After reading the FAQ it says there will be a free to play version with the option of paying to have access to more stuff. So I have 2 questions: first of all how much will it cost to get premium membership, and second what exactly is the difference between free to play and premium membership? How much more stuff do premium members have access too?

I hate ftp games there hacked to hell and back, A don't say this one will be any different thats stupidity. Please make it pay to play. Ive been waiting for a game like plnetside but better. Hell any MMOFPS will rock.

Impartial, make a true mmofps and i'll pay if I have to.

[Tumpys]

Agreed. Free to play brings too many hackers.

Will F2P players have a tougher time against Premium players? Or is it all skill?

Don't think so the only thing that i get is the begin gear...apart from that nope

That's correct. The game is 100% skill based. Of course because of the certs, F2P players won't have access to certain assets, weapons etc.

Yes, of course!

[Johnny Relvas]

The only thing that i'm a bit dissapointed is the lack of the customization ;( this could be a feature that could be added for players who would paid for the game or a Customization Pack as a DLC!

I really like the idea of weapons ID lock reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of Patriots

[Dank Nugs]

Sounds pretty solid so far, any personal goals as far as a pbt or cbt date? A year? More?

I fought long and hard with the decision regarding customization. In the end, I opted to shoot for a feature packed and fun game, rather than wasting time on customizations. Of course if the game takes off, then customization is something that could very well be added in via an update.

Yeah with ID lock, if you drop your weapon,

a) it takes longer to disappear from the world

only you can use it

c) you can find it using geolocation. So if some dweeb killed you, then picked up your weapon, as long as he has it, you know where to find him and the weapon

We have a ton of absolutely crazy stuff in the game. They range from strength and speed inducing implants to a wild array of weapon attachments

I don't understand the question.

I think what that mate wanted to mean is what do you think of the future of the game =)

I got other questions

1) Will have the game have headshots? (some shooters dont have it like global agenda)

2) When the in game trailr (i just........can't wait for it)


I'm looking forward as well to see how you are going to deal with the udpates after the release really curious about your ideas

What do I think about the future of the game? uhm, that is a strange question to ask. Of course I am optimistic about its future. The fact is, nobody knows how a game will do until it is released.

Headshots. Yes.

Trailer. Soon. Once we have all the elements in place that we need to show. We're not going to be creating fake cinematic trailers like those other guys. Our trailer will be based on actual gameplay.

[Johnny Relvas]

Glad to hear Mr.Derek can't wait to see some more screenshots and of course...Wallpapers ;D

[shooby]

Real trailers are

[shooby]

I just hate cinematic trailers in general. They lookk cool but all I want to see is gameplay and cinematic trailers make me and
gameplay makes me go
