Fancy your self the most effective biker/commander/gunship pilot on the town? Sci-fi shooter Disintegration won’t be swooping in for a superb whereas but, however you’ll have your probability to show your chops earlier than you’d suppose. For 4 days this month, V1 Interactive’s FPS-turned-tactics dogfighter will probably be playable, thanks to 2 multiplayer beta classes kicking off on January 28th.
Disintegration’s closed beta will run from four pm – 7:59 am (eight am – 11:59 pm PT) on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th. Folks lacking out on the closed beta can nonetheless try an open beta from January 31st by means of February 1st.
With a group headed up by former Halo art director Marcus Leto, Disintegration is a hell of a factor to explain. It’s an FPS, yeah, however one the place you’re locked inside an enormous gun-toting drone (sorry, gravcycle), issuing instructions to a group on the bottom when you take the occasional pot-shot from a secure distance. There’s an entire marketing campaign concerning people sticking their brains in robots, giving their youngsters Destiny-adjacent names like “Romer Shoal”.
But put that every one apart for now. This month’s beta is solely involved with multiplayer PVP choices. Every participant will get management of their very own crew, every with their very own quirks and characters. There’ll be seven of those to select from within the beta, together with the damage-buffing “Tech Noir” and the ridiculously-named “Warhedz”, a trigger-happy group of Fallout cosplayers that may’t cease firing nukes.
These crews will probably be pulling in all of the arduous work throughout two acquainted goal modes. Retrieval has your group delivering a payload behind enemy traces, whereas Control is your bread-and-butter seize level affair. The catch? You’re by no means immediately doing any of the objective-scoring your self, as an alternative issuing orders to your grunts, holding opposing crews and gamers off their again like some sorta cyborg guardian angel.
At least no person can get mad at you for not pushing the payload right here. A blessing, actually.
It does sound bloody fascinating to play, even when I’m completely over this specific model of sassy robotic sci-fi. You can put your title within the hat for the closed beta, or else preserve knowledgeable on the way to entry the next open beta, by registering over on the Disintegration site here.
