Update!
All's I have to say is WOW. It's a really great game, no joking. I really think it's the game I've been waiting for for a while. It's not an MMO so-to-speak, but it's like BF2-type character development. You play in servers and earn credits each round whether you win or lose.
Those credits are used to buy new weapons, new body armor parts which you can either buy as a set or by themselves. You also need to save money to repair durability every now and then. I have not repaired yet so I don't know if it's expensive or not.
You could whore money and buy the best thing fairly quickly, but what holds you back is rank requirement. Highest armor set maxes out at Major right now, but we don't know if it'll go higher in retail.
Really great game. Let me know if you guys get into the beta. Not sure if it's totally open beta yet, but it's still worth signing up for. Great fun.
Developed by NCSoft btw. So it's quality.
