Firefall

Any idea when they intend to add Armies to the game?

Red5 said armies are coming soon. Hopefully in Q1.

If by username you mean IGN, then I'm BFCE. Otherwise I'm Revolver.

Yes I meant IGN. I've changed it to make it more clearer now.

So, you were the Spadow I kept seeing.

IGN: Lugin
Server: NA

Got ten invites. (One account for wiping and retesting early stuff each patch.)

Yeah! Hmm don't know if I have seen you. You've seen me through the Zone Chat or PvE/PvP?
And Red5 confirmed there will be no wipe.

Are there any advantages to playing in third-person camera over first-person? I find aiming much easier in first-person, but the kind of movement that is present in Firefall makes me think that third-person can be advantageous.

Also shockwave is a pain in the ass to hit. I can airshot but I can't land a single goddamn shockwave.

For the past nine months I have played in first-person and now in third-person. I prefer third-person over first-person in PvP. I feel I have more insight of what is going on around me and my aim is better.

PvP is known to be out of whack at the moment, with Assaults generally dominating public matches.
Of course, when the majority of the population is in Assault frames...
Dreads took a hard nerf to the face a while ago, and future changes regarding PvP have been announced.
Basically, set loadouts for each frame. Meaning, for Assault frames, a Firecat's loadout will be different from a Tigerclaw's, and both differ from the Accord Assault, but every Firecat is the same.
At the same time, frame constraints have been temporarily removed, and we've been told to "go nuts and experiment."
So, yeah, it's kind of unbalanced at the moment.

Tier 2 PvP is crazy right now indeed. I agree Assaults dominate, especially the good players but Recons are pretty dominating too. My most played frame was Recon before Red5 changed the sniper rifle. I hope they fix the constraints system ASAP. As for the balancing between battleframes. There is going to be a complete overhaul of how battleframes work now.

Mmm can't hurt to try something new, if someone can send me an invite i would be grateful.

I sent you a PM with a beta key. Have fun.
The closed beta was not 24/7 until players asked for it but when it was just on/off back then, we had a small patch every week. That is changed now. Red5 will release milestones, so that means there will be no more weekly patches but big patches every few months. Don't be surprised when you're patching like 2~4 GB.
