Red 5 is ready to start talking (and showing) PvP in its upcoming MMO shooter, and in the latest trailer for Firefall, we not only get to see gameplay footage from a team deathmatch, we get a look at a potent new battleframe (class), the sniper-rifle packing Recon.

Thousands of gamers got to go hands on with Firefall PvP at PAX East in March. For those of you that didn't make it to Boston, here's a lengthy look at a team deathmatch in Sunken Harbor:



In addition to releasing the PvP trailer, Red 5 announced that it has scheduled its first ever live broadcast of Firefall for Friday, May 6. Tune in to Justin.tv for a developer deathmatch featuring commentary from e-Sports broadcasters.

Firefall is a free-to-play MMO set for PC launch sometime this winter.


Sharkey says: If you're feeling the Tribes vibe after watching that trailer, there's a good reason: Tribes and Tribes 2 lead designer Scott Youngblood is on board as Firefall's lead designer. Together with former WoW lead Mark Kern, Red 5 is hoping to meld the best of MMOs with the best of skill-based shooters. Definitely one to watch for shooter fans.
