For those who may not know, Firefall is a F2P first person shooter, with some RPG elements. Several different classes/battleframes and you can switch between them at designated stations. The harvesting is pretty neat in that you call down a thumper (mining drone) that then pisses off everything in the area, making you defend the thumper or it gets destroyed. There are also incursions by NPC's that happen randomly as well. Everything outside of the outposts/cities pretty much want to kill you. You gain experience for the battleframe you currently use and can upgrade it in different ways, depending on your play style. The crafting is pretty basic. You choose the item you want, then, if you have enough resources, you wait a specified time and it is done. You do have some items that require lower level materials, so you have to manufacture those first before you can build the item. Pretty basic stuff, but it does have some entertaining moments.
