Anticipated Release Date/ Spawn Killing

[Detnation]

I just wanted to see when everyone thinks huxley will come out and you can't say never or really soon pick and date and you can't run off of the ebgames date cause thats obviously BS but you never know.

Was also wondering what everyone thinks there going to do about spawn killing cause that is a problem in most games and this being the first real first person mmo its kinda difficult to think how it might work but there still is the chance there will be spawn killing IDK! my idea is a giant force field globe type thing over the spawn like the shield in starwars eps. 1 where they have that huge battle you know droids vs. Gungans.

Well i believe that Huxley will come out later then UT3 which is said to be released in 2007-11-15. You might ask why i think so... Because they have the same engine and since Huxley is MMO and UT3 is simply MP and those who like Huxley know that they have same engine they will buy UT3 first to try it out and train before Huxley. Plus if Huxley was released before that it would ruin UT3 since everybody will forget about UT3 and buy Huxley and play it instead. So as i see it it's better for business to release Huxley later, 1-3 month later so that people will buy UT3 without knowing when Huxley is coming out to play it until it does come out and then get the Huxley.
Hope you understand what i mean.

LOL.... you know that actually makes sense I do how prey it comes out atleast within the month of September because as we all know it would be like a game from god himself.

Well it would be weird, i mean if they are to release the closed beta in september, the game too, that would really be weird. So i doubt they wil do so, i just hope im very wrong about the business idea cause if they are to release it after UT3 im gonna flip out and go extremely insane since i will be having waaay too much homework by then.

P.S: Im talking about PC version =)

I anticipate that Huxley will probably launch around December or January. Beta is supposedly due in a few weeks, and will probably last around a month. This gives Webzen a couple months to reprogram any bugs and/or glitches, tighten up all graphical assests, and layout a solid marketing campaign in around late November/ early December; possibly even put out a demo.

Yeah, I agree with InsaneRussian. The Hardcore gamers and Tournament Enthusiast are going to purchase UT3 and if Webzen's marketing advertisements are solid, than the UT3 players are definitely going to branch over seeing the similarities in the game.

well webzens launching schedual clearly says..... Closed beta in september,open in october/November and the release dateing is around Feb.March.

Plus the official site Opens up the site (Not forums) thyis MONTH SO WE can SIGN UP FOR OPEN BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was one of my thoughts, how are they gonna handle the spawn camping situation. A 5 second invulnerability or your first shot, what ever one comes first? I hate when people just sit around and wait for you to spawn.

Wasn't the first MMORPG FPS. I'm sure they'll think of something IF spawn killing is a problem. In the real first MMORPGFPS - Planetside.. they had vastly decreased incentives for killing people in spawns, as well as having "pain fields" -- if a enemy walked into your spawn room they take damage fast enough not to want to stay in there long.

i dont think spawn camping will be a big problem, check out the videos on youtube shows the entire game an all the cool stuff the korean beta testers have been doing. the pvp matches look like they come straight out of Unreal, fast paced action, high powered weapons, when u die u respawn somewhere on the map, an gotta start moving quickly to get kills jsut like any other fps deathmatch. the game looks like it focuses mostly on co-op missions an pvp deathmatches with free for all an team play
