I'm not sure who might have read my /soapbox on alpha/beta/gamma testing I wrote last fall, but at least in part it was a foretelling of how IA in general would be executed, and FE:L specifically.

Marketing still has some pull and got the names of the stages filtered around some, but what you are really seeing right now is a mid first stage beta--game mechanics testing. Once the mechanics and core game are as solid as feasible (crashes fixed, features complete, game mechanics solid), then the game will move into "live development"--adding in game play features and expanding current resources available to the players.

I'm not on the team so I can't detail what all is in the development pipeline (I have heard rumors of the new maps being close to completion), and I honestly don't know if/when deployables of that large variety will be available, but it is going to continue to get more "stuff" :)

The host can go fuck them him self.


Average ping across the board, 200-250. The host? 20.


Yea, he might as well be super man since you'd have to be clairvoyant to actually hit him or avoid his shots. Eating a grenade explosion before I physically see the grenade fired?


 awesome, for real

Best bet is play on the shazbot servers (dedicated's). Still in beta of course, so we only have a few in one region (Portland), but they will be scaling up in the future.

Finally got onto a Shazbot, was certainly superior to having the host running around as RaptorJesus.

The Chaingun seems to be improved in this build, I personally still can't hit the broad side of a barn with one, but some people seem to know what they are doing with it at least.

New Map is out! It's a little over twice the size of the previous 2 maps, also a lot more flat. Haven't had a decent game on it yet sadly, either too few people playing, or No one knows how to freaking ski but me.
