What is it really!?

[Rollin60]

Ok Ive been hearing all sorts of stuff that the game play will be like instanced and like you can just dish out punishment in like special battlefields cuz if thats the case how can you call it an RPG? orrrr will it be like WoW style where you can like engage the opposition in like the wilderness and also go into specific battlezones where your sure there will be oppsition like sorry again to mention WoW but like BG where you sign up and stuff.

That's because Huxley is an MMOFPS, not an RPG. It has elements of RPGs but as a whole the game is first and foremost a fast paced FPS. We know battlegrounds are instanced, we know some of the mission areas are instanced, we don't know if the world will be free roaming like many other MMOs.

[Rollin60]

Well uh that kinda sucks... I had the impression you could go roaming with some buddies and like dish out some punishment on some other factions town or something.

Since its going to be on a console, it would be kind of hard to make a FreeRoaming MMO thats on a disc..... But if they did it, and it ran smoothly, I would praise them

[Screek]

if there is any confusion...

fps: first person shooter
mmo: massive multiplayer online
rpg: role playing game

You can take it to the battlefields, instead of assaulting un-suspecting civilians which is very cowardly.

If you want something like WoW, this game is not going to appeal to you. It's simply a shooter that's an MMO, so it has RPG elements. It will not play like a RPG at all.

Something tells me you have no idea how wars are fought nowadays. Its not cowardly its tactics, you don't attack an enemy that knows your coming its stupid you lose lives that way.

Agreed.......

Nowadays? Do you know anything about Huxley? It's very, very far into the future....so I'm sure modern war rules don't apply.

Plus, are MMOs entirely realistic? No. Just because it is realistic, doesn't mean it is fun. If you're character died after 200 hours of gameplay because of old age, would that be fun? If you got jumped and shot up while sitting in a town talking to your friends, would that be fun? Probably not.

it would be hot if you get your buddies go to other faction hood and spray them. Hopefully their are areas for all type of things. free roaming, territory for race also for guilds, guild halls ect.

I guarantee the two capital cities will be no-combat zones, if Webzen has any sort of sense.

From what I have heard and seen, It looks Huxley’s world will work allot like Planetsides, The world is spilt into zones each zone has its own loading screen... The zones have a limit to how many players can be inside at once, if one of the zones gets full you will have to wait for a space to get in, the zones are ongoing they will never 'end' even it a one faction controls the whole zone.

That’s what makes it an mmo, you can still team up with your friend in a safe city get out your troop carrier drop ship, fill her up and go kick some ass.

[Felix12g]

First up, they're advertising no loading screens anywhere in Huxley once you get ingame.

Second, they've talked in a couple places in older articles about the battlegrounds coming to a close once certain requirements are met. They've also talked about different portions of the areas opening up to be fought over, the most common is the Lunarite mine example where small teams duke it out in small scale deathmatch games to determine what outfit controls the mine and reaps those benefits.

We'll have to wait and see if there's any lines for the battlegrounds. I doubt there will be considering the game is designed around the PvP with the PvE tossed in as a twist to bring more elements to bear. The battlegrounds themselves will of course be instanced which brings about the 100vs100 limit which is the most recent # supplied.

I read this line... and I praise the game designers... there's no way a worlds that big...with NO loads???......They had better have a kickin server or we're screwed SO MANY WAYS!!!!

The area around you will probably load as you're moving. A bit like Oblivion, although Oblivion did have minor loading screens. Gothic III might be a better example.
