'Firefall' ends phase one of beta with 500k members, Red 5 announces system specs

The first phase of Firefall's beta ended with 500k members and Red 5 Studios announced the game's system requirements.

Firefall completed the "first stage" of its beta with 500k registered members, developer Red 5 Studios announced today alongside the free-to-play shooter's system requirements.

Red 5 will be expanding access to the next phase of the Firefall beta with more invites and rolling out a "massive" update based on community input from the first phase.

"The feedback and support from our community has been an integral part of the development process," said Mark Kern, CEO of Red 5. "We're treating Firefall as a service, which means it's critical that we're continually adding value and fun for players. Having a large and growing community lets us know that we're on the right track. But more importantly, their feedback helps us stay on the right track."
