Blacklight: Retribution (Futuristic FPS by PWE)

Hey guys,

So I just received a CBT invite to this game, it's a futuristic
FPS game released by Perfect World Entertainment. I checked a
few gameplay vids (since the beta won't start till tomorrow)
and it looks a lot more fun than I expected. It's basically an
FPS game with some roleplay added to it, similar to how BF3
works. The gameplay itself is fast-paced, and they have a wide
variety of game types to choose from. The graphics seem nice
in the vid. One specific thing they added is a "legitimate
wallhack" (or so they call it). For about 2 seconds, you can
see through everything in the map, like a sort of X-Ray, and
while doing this you cannot attack or move. This way you can
find out where your allies and opponents are and act accordingly.
At first I was like WTF, but as the person in the vid below
explains it, this gives you insight into where the action is
(unlike in some other FPS, where you can walk around for ages
and not see a single soul), and this gets rid of campers.

Anywho, here's the vid I watched. Looks like a fun game to me.
If anyone else will play it, let me know. I'll give an update
after the CBT tomorrow probably :]

Just tried a few rounds. Very addictive.
The game is really fast-paced, people can't camp because
of the special vision feature, and so far people in the
CBT have been fun to play with as well.

This CBT is/was rather short..
It's the 4th CBT for this game (stress test), so I'm
guessing they will release the OBT in the near future.

This CBT runs/ran on February 10th from 11:00 AM Pacific
through 2:00 PM Pacific

Played about 5 matches so far. Its a fun a high paced game, i havent found much use for the Hardsuits yet.

They are far too slow, and i feel like my killing ability is reduced when im in one, unless i come around the corner and see them all and spray

Been having a lot of fun, definitely some things that PWE needs to work on, but a good game. Some of the guns just have too much recoil right now though
