Huxley's closed beta now open to North America

To save everyone the trouble: The servers are laggy, the graphics sub-par compared to recent offerings and it just feels very much like a beta. Try grabbing Section 8, it's a much betaa (better) offering

I've been playing this...
And sad to report the hype has failed. It sucks, yes I said it.
Its a DIRECT CLONE of UT3, the matches are no more than 16vs16, but instead of a server list its a lobby system, big fucking deal. And you have to buy the upgraded weps. I'm sorry, but this game was so much full of potential but they ruined it..

so wait, what makes this an MMO again? The fact that its a FPS with just an online component?

so it's battlefield+unreal? Damn, I'm not looking forward to trying to play now during their weird beta hours. Well, weird for me cuz of work anyway. I'll still give it a shot though.

I couldn't get the thing to work as anything other than a bad slideshow projector. I couldn't even get past the character selection. I suck at beta testing.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that it's not Mac compatible.

Nobody shows us love these days. Now I'm gonna go cry on Kongregate, where I'm loved.

skirmish doens't even work, which is the only reason i wanna play

Don't even bother with it. I made it to where I could join a skirmish and I was met with the worst lag I've ever experienced in my life.

I don't get it. Closed beta NOW in North America? I'm in Michigan and I did the closed beta weeks ago. And yes, it's a terrible UT3 rip-off.

I've been waiting to play this game since 2005. Unfortunately, watching it evolve has lead me to believe that it won't be what I wanted it to be. I don't like the really fast moving, takes-a-million-shots-to-get-a-kill games, like UT or Quake Live. I'm a much bigger Counter-Strike fan. Especially, all the comments I've read since the closed beta sarted in the US, my high hopes have diminished quite a bit.

I'm still curious about the PvE missions and MMO aspects of the game. I don't play MMO's for the PvP... I play them because they are fun, populated with other people, and have missions, progression, exploration, collection, and are updated frequently. Hopefully I'll find something in this game that I like, as everyone's negative comments seem to be about the PvP.

what does that have to do with this at all...?

All joy I had for this game went away when I learned this was an ijji game

I was psyched for this game back when I first read about it... Before the 360 was released!

Times have changed.

I take it this is no longer scheduled for release on the 360?

i think a first person view would have been a better idea when playing
and keep a third person view when you in the city

Who gives a shit? The game is already 4 years dated.
