Zombie Studios' free-to-play sequel to Blacklight, called Blacklight: Retribution, has gotten itself an open beta date, which means that the game will essentially be ready to party. Feburary 27 is the date in question -- that's the point when the closed beta (which started up last year) will end, player information will be wiped, and the game will start anew for good.
Additionally, the open beta will bring new content with three new maps and custom Heroes to play with, and the Data Node system (which allows users to upgrade and specialize certain pieces of gear) will go live. If you weren't able to get in on any of our many beta keys for the game, then mark your calendar for February 27.

That screenshot makes it look like the game will be cel-shaded.

Online micro-transactions to get better weapons..whatever greedy ass thought of this concept should be hanged.

It's been stated that all micro-transaction only items would be pure aesthetics, nothing that would affect gameplay.
