Huxley Beta is out on Fileplanet

[Scouzer]

There's an NDA so not much can be said about it, but this puppy ain't vaporware!

Does the Comcast Founder's Club not work anymore? I used to be able to get into all the betas and now I'm not even a subscriber.

whoa do want

Have to be a subscriber to Fileplanet, me thinks. I re-sub'd for a month to get the Beta Key. I've been waiting for this game for a loong time.

How long does the closed beta last? I'm tempted to sub for a month just to get in.

nProtect GameGuard fails to update..

choosing "rescan" fixes this.

definitely beta - game uses 98% resources and locks up every now and then. So far - feels like an MMO Unreal Tournament...

I believe Comcast stopped doing that because I lost my founder's club status through Comcast back in March.

 

[novasatori]

yes comcast ended their founder's club

Closed Beta is from June 3-14 2pm-10pm PST.
This is Closed Beta 1.
This definitely feels like an UT3 MMO. It's fun, but I'll reserve judgment til I play more than 1 round. It looks and feels good, but is quite taxing on my rig.

Wow, good thing I didn't subscribe, I just got a free invite via email.

Instances ewwww

Basically Huxley plays like a lobby-based shooter. His exact word were "Unreal Tournament".

Anyone hoping for a persistent world large-scale shooter need not apply.

He likened it with Exteel, just with a crappier lobby system.

I was kinda hoping for that...

 

[Sentrosi2121]

Word is that this CQB was only out to test the small scale PvPing. Next sessions will open the game up a bit more. Which is something I'm hoping for. I enjoyed the Beta enough to keep it on the burner and continue to chart the progress of this game that I've been following for almost 4 years now.

I was hoping for the next Planetside...

Well, supposedly it sounds like they'll be adding in some sort of persistent PvP areas in the game for people to explore. But this all makes it sound like at launch it will end up just being a lobby shooter at release, and the persistent areas might be some sort of expansion.

looked and felt too much like UT3 for me. i didnt play it much, just couldnt get into it but i'll have to give this title a pass and wait for BF3.
