Star Conflict hits Open Beta

Homesite

Star Conflict, which is a new space themed MMO, has announced that it has hit Open Beta for all who want to participate. Also good news for those who are interested in these types of games, but never heard of this one, it will be free to play. The only bad thing about the announcement of that model is that they haven't said much on how the free to play will work, so it is an unknown at this point, they have said however that there won't be any limitations placed for those who go free, they just need to spend longer training their character . 

The game is also PvP based, meaning that there is no PvE at all and works in a lobby based system which pits two teams against each other in a 16 vs.16 man fight. 

As for features in the game, this is what they have released so far on their site:

Gain Experience and Skill

However strong and dexterous you are as a pilot, there’s always room to improve. Develop your abilities, establish specialized skills, and perfect your tactics. You could rush into battle full-force, operate stealthily from a distance, or sneak around your enemies and strike a crushing blow from behind—the strategy is up to you!

So far the game does sound interesting, but they will really need to draw in a crowd to make it last. Having it be lobby based, if the player base suffered even a bit, the matchmaking will feel it. But like I said, it is an interesting concept, and sounds like it could be fun. What do you guys think, are you going to give it a shot?
