Huxley Previews

GameSpy and IGN have both posted previews of Huxley, Webzen's upcoming massively multiplayer shooter. It looks like they've sort of mixed PlanetSide with Guild Wars and thrown in an extra helping of character customization. "Character building continues through the game by earning new types of skills and armor. For instance, sprint, double-jumping, infrared vision, cloaking, and headshot prevention will only become unlocked as players make their way up the soldier ranks. Many of the skills will be available as armor implants. On top of that, each faction also has specific skills to unlock." They're hoping to offer everything from 1 on 1 right up to 100 vs. 100. It's nice to see them trying to make this concept work because I've always enjoyed the scale of the battles in PlanetSide.
