Well, I applied for a beta key here
http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/redfaction
Got one instantly and went off to play it. I didn't think much of it at the time, but once I started playing.... To say the least, it's fucking fun.
It's simple. Grab guns, point, shoot and try not to get killed along with your team. Why is that good, you ask? Well, there is a huge selection of weapons, the environments are completely destructible ( more so than BF:BC ) and gameplay is flawless. I like games which have upgrades on the environments, to give you a small advantage over an enemy if you use such upgrade properly - they have really aced it in that aspect : They have these back packs ( as in like jetpacks, not rucksacks ) thrown around the maps ( 3 to a stand ) and if you pick them up, it gives you some special abilities. Some are awesome, like "Firepower" or "Concussion", the first one gives you extra power with bullets, and the second one shocks players around with a big boom.
Go get a beta key and join me. It's awesome. It may not be engrossing and hugely competitive and full off assholes, but it's certainly fun and has been designed well.
