There is going to be an update on the blog sometime this week with the current beta status (and hopefully a date when it will start)

They gotta send these betakeys already!
They just posted a new video on youtube showing off a new custom weapon they made, shows off some more of the customization and gameplay (but no beta details yet)

[QUOTE=Cyanlime;36138724]I really hope they'll change their mind about the free-to-play part.
TF2 really went downhill after they made that decision, the developers have become lazy and the servers are filled with underage children who are no fun to play with.[/QUOTE]
Of course they won't change their mind about F2P, F2P is the future for games like this. More people more money. I don't get the hate for F2P. F2P is effectively saving some games from the brink of death and revitilizing them with new players. More players is always welcome for me, old and young. Just find a server you like on TF2, one without kids and whatnot.
Oh man, almost forgot about this game, still no beta I see, oh well.

That's a pretty detailed weapon customizer.
Can't wait for the beta to start.
Can't wait to be Sylvester Stallone and mumble stuff he usually says on the mike...
I'm praying this won't be a pay2win game. Its what ruins any free to play game.

Beta release related stuff:
[quote]“Hey guys, when the HELL are you going to let us play the game?”
The short answer is: In about 4-6 weeks.
The first wave of public beta keys will be sent out around mid-July, with more and more people getting added all throughout late July & early August.[/quote]
Will it be on steam? I think not..

Wow. Well I know that steam takes a cut of the profit, and it's less convenient to games which are based on micro-transactions. That's what made me wonder. Thanks for clearing that out!
[QUOTE=markg06;35646396]It'll be pay to win as par usual.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much all F2P FPS's except TF2 are Pay to win

I trust Edge of Reality not to fuck up with Loadout. From what I heard, weapon mods are found at random. It will probably be that if you wait you'll eventually get the modifier you want by drop, or you pay x money and get it right now. Much like tf2 weapons. Without trade.
Can't wait for this game.

TF2 promo confirmed.

What I'm scared about in F2P is paying more than if I could have just bought the game. While playing a game without playing is a viable option most of the time, even more in what seems like a TF2 like item system, but sometimes it isn't. Take for exemple League of Legends. While you get a free selection each week, it is different every time, so if there's 1, 2 or more heroes that you want, you'll have to buy them, and the amount you're going to pay will go higher and higher!
But maybe that's paranoia kicking in...
Can't wait for this, seems a really fun game to play, nice break from the CoD type shooter cliche.
I look forward to raging when I'm killed by "WEENER-CANNON XL 9000"
About p2w and how you will obtain weapon modifiers and cosmetic items:
In the livestream video part 4/5 on their youtobe they explained that they will give you a new modifier or piece of cosmetic item every time you level up (that's the purpose of levelling up, anyway) So everyone starts with the basic chassis and a few random rare modifiers, then, everytime you level up, you get either one or the other.
But there's more: The higher is your level, the higher the % of finding something rare or odd or a cosmetic item.
So basically spend a lot of time on the game to unlock all the content, or pay and get right here right now right what you want. All the items will be accessible to everyone.
They also said they are working on more character models. There is an almost done Mr-T lookalike model, and then they will make all kind of player models, females included. (for those of you who like to play as g.IRLs)
Not only every character model is accessible to everyone right from the beginning, but there also will be charachter customization of the very character model, like hair, hair colour, facial fetures etc) So not everyone will be a rambo lookalike!
looks like they are doing another livestream tomorrow (3rd July) at 2pm CST and they will be showing off a new multiplayer level.

This looks interesting, hopefully they won't make the game too Pay2Win.
Signed up.
I really like the idea of customizing your weapons, but there is bound to be joke weapons, like dildos for example.
Laser shooting dildos... I like that. Anyway, signed up.
When they said customize you weapon, I don't think they meant it in the way that you can change exactly how it looks so you have a penis gun or something like that
Still haven't decided if I'm going to name my guns ridiculous things, or if I'm going to be tacticool about it.
I dunno, I'd be entertained forever if I could run around wielding the Bukake Cannon 6000 XL
Played this at PAX east, good but had balancing issues. Rocket launchers lower the skill cap and are extremely strong.

Hopefully they can hammer those issues out during beta.
Saw the art style and immediately signed up for the beta.
