    Default Blacklight: Retribution - Open Beta Started

    http://blacklight.perfectworld.com/






    On 2/27, the floodgates will open and Blacklight: Retribution will official be open for business. Characters and progress from the Closed Beta will be wiped, and all players will start fresh and new on the same footing. From the 27th and on, all progress will be kept, and the race to domination will begin!



    The launch of the Open Beta will also be the kickoff for numerous events, as well as the addition of new content into the game. Three new maps, custom built Hero characters, and the Data Node system will all be available. More information about all of these will be available in the near future.



    We want to send our thanks to all of our Closed Beta testers for helping shape Blacklight: Retribution into what it is today. Numerous changes, tweaks, and additions have been implemented based off tester feedback. We wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for all of you.



    Open Beta, February 27th. Be there!

    Damn shame PerfectWorld cash shopped the hell out of this game the same way they have all of their other games. Gives APB a run for its money in terms of how badly they want you to spend.

    APB expensive? Yes Cash shop dependent? Hardly

    Downloading this to give it a wizz, thing that pissed me off about PWE mmo's was the NPC after NPC offering some random *** token in exchange gives you some other piece you hand into some other NPC along the track, complete turn off imo and not only cause it reminds me of those horrid (And I mean truly horrid, would rather do knitting than play it) WoW pservers.

    Gonna cross my fingers it runs smoothly too! F2P fps games are a ***** for Aussies, 200 constant ping woo :S

    Well the reason why i HATE APB is the matchmaking. Still stupidly horrible design that havent been touched for months. I am lvl 65 and get match up with lvl 140s and 160s >.>

    And i hate it when everytime you die, they said you could be earning this if you have premium...

    OT: i am looking forward the game. Seems fun

    Played four or five games. It's pretty fun, especially the mech suit. Feels epic when you're in one of those.


    Not really sure wtf I'm doing besides killing people and getting mech suit. Which I guess was the point of the type of game I was playing. Are there others game modes?

    It would be really epic if there was a BF3-size map with mech suits that flied or something. Would be great.


    Not sure if it's really as cash shop dependent as people say it is/will be.
