    Default Fallen Earth true open beta

    Just in case anyone missed it, Fallen Earth is now open to all Fileplanet accounts not just paying subscribers.

    Not sure about that error but it seems the download queue thing works in IE8 and the latest Firefox (downloading atm for me) but looking around it seems a alpha build is floating around at:

    No guarantees on that one but your best bet unless you can get Fileplanet to work.

    I wonder if the game has improved at all since the last time I played? Downloading it for a second chance.

    Likewise, if anything, we could join up and try it out together

    I was in beta since the beginnings...

    It was very bad at the start... hopefully it's gotten better.

    Updating the client atm, hopefully it is not as terrible as I think it may be.

    Bah servers are apparently down and it says no where on their website or the log-in client when they will be up.

    Yea, the server has been down for a long time. I thought it might be a problem with my account. I can't find any information on it either

    First impressions, it does seem like a game I could get into but it crashes way too much and there is a huge amount of polish that could be done. I would say this is not ready for a Sept release. Definitely not as a retail package. Wish I could say more but it crashes for me too much to consider playing atm.

    If this game survives thru '10 I could see a definite niche market hit but maybe I am being a bit too optimistic haha

    Anyways, back to Wolfenstein '09...

    I like it a lot more this time around. I don't think it is quality enough to demand a subscription fee, but I can see it being worth a B2P model or something. The character models and animations are a LOT better than they were in the past.

    The graphics look great, and you can dual-wield pistols. You can pick armor off of people, wear it, and it will change what your character looks like (some games do not have this feature, that's why I appreciate it so much).

    The looting system is really slow. Not sure if it's from lag, poor coding, or for some sort of realistic effect, but it is just slow.

    The combat is a little sluggish, but for what the game promises to be, I can easily overlook it. It's not even THAT bad, it's just not as fluid as any other shooting games in the last 9 years.

    I'm almost finished with the tutorial. I am really looking forward to what the world looks like. If it's anything like the trailer I saw, (a sniper on a hill killing a few people and taking their stuff) then I think I can enjoy this game very much.

    Alright, about to finish the tutorial.

    Also, couldn't they have picked a font that is more appealing to the eyes? This one isn't the WORST option I've seen (I'm looking at you Neosteam), but it certainly could be more original and maybe more suited for the game. I think the current font is like arial? It just makes the game look more unpolished than it needs to look, in my opinion.
