Thought that this looks really good, hopefully it wont be restricted to the USA like almost all good F2P games.

Borderlands was hardly the first game to use a 'cell shaded' art style so I don't know why everyone has to mention them now when any game chooses to use that style. Ragardless, I've had my eye on Firefall for a while and quite interested to get into the beta.

Not sure what you mean by this, I can't think of a single F2P game that is USA only, in fact I can't think of any MMO/MOBA/Etc games that have a presence in the US but not in Europe. If you mean to say you hope they host a server in SA well I don't think you should hold your breath.
 
There are quite a few games that are IP restricted to the USA - Black Prophecy, Vindictus and a few more that i cannot recall at the moment.
 
I started playing around in the closed beta today. The gameplay is very fun. It could best be described as Borderlands mixed into some Unreal Tournament.

The interface is very slick. Many of the game menus function in the same fashion as Dead Space's menus and inventory systems. The combat is very enjoyable and rewarding, loot is picked up automatically and XP is rewarded for kills as well as assists. I wouldn't say that this game is going to take off in SA at all. The server-side hit confirmation and buffering means that the game is exceptionally stutterery. Think Guild Wars with 1k MS latency.

I'll keep my eye on the beta. If a South African server is possible it would make a world of difference, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.
 
Yeah the lag was a bit on the bad side but it was still playable in the instanced PvP matches. If they have EU servers it should be fine.

Don't forget though you aren't really suppose to be discussing this stuff outside of the FireFall forums considering the beta is still under an NDA.
