Firefall is an upcoming, fantasy-based MMOFPS title that offers players a AAA shooting experience with a free-to-play model; heavily avoiding the pay-to-win approach. Players take on the role of powerful, futuristic Battleframes. Powerful mechanic units that can be improved and upgraded in typical MMORPG game fashion.

One of the most discussed aspects of Firefall is the massive scale of the game. The game was created using a 1/10 scale of planet Earth, featuring realistic locations in a fantasy setting after cataclysmic event. Each shard will be able to support hundreds of players, adding a depth of co-operative play rarely seen in the free-to-play space.

Firefall also boasts a highly in-depth crafting system that will allow players to craft almost any item in the game. Players will be tasked to collect valuable resources called Crystite Hybrids; these are dynamically generated in every zone in Firefall's game world, forcing players to survey areas for the best mining areas. There are literally millions of possible crafting combinations, giving Firefall one of the most expansive crafting systems ever seen in a free-to-play MMOFPS game.

A common issue with games that support hundreds of players at once is the lack of individuality on the battlefield, but that is not the case with Firefall. Players will be give a vast amount of options when customizing their Battleframes, having the option of changing colors, decals and adding tattoos. This powerful feature creates an almost limitless list of character possibilities.

Firefall has been developed with competitive gaming at the core. The developers have created some of the most impressive spectating tools ever seen in an online game. Shoutcasters and Streamers will have the ability to track the action at ground level, watching intense replays, slowing the action and repeating the juicy bits.
