i play close beta is realy,realy nice

looks really cool

This game looks fun is there a way i can get into the beta ?

they just added a CTF mode a few days ago

How is it?

For me it's a fun game to pick up and play for 30 minutes to an hour; the CTF mode brought me back to it because the other modes were getting kinda boring. Over all this game is ok, it's free to play, unless you want to buy special items from their store with NC coins. (But there is still a good selection of items available to free players)


IGN is currently carrying the new Exteel gameplay trailer

Here are patch notes from Monday, June 23, 2008
The patch kicked in today, June 25, 2008

http://www.exteel.com/us/news/archives/2008/06/clan_mode_patch.html

During the Wednesday server maintenance period this week we will be pushing the new Clan Mode update to the live servers.

Here are the patch notes:

Clan Mode:

* Clan mode has been implemented! Players will be able to create and manage their clans on the Exteel website. A login is required—use your game account name and password. The Clans page contains pretty much all the information you’ll want to know about clan creation, restrictions, and so forth.

7-day items:

* We’re celebrating the launch of Clan Mode with the implementation of 7-day items for the next month or so. These 7-day items do not have durability but expire 7 days right after purchase. The current 7-day items are:

All -B grade weapons.
All parts from the following Mechanaught sets (not the full sets themselves):

+ Stallion
+ Stark
+ Haskell
+ Scootwing
+ Davenstar
+ Zeeker
+ Blitzker
+ Jaywalker
+ Hellfire
+ Bastion
o Boosters

+ Sentinel
+ Storm Mover
o All skills

4 new weapons have been added to the game (all credit-based):

* Saint Guardian-A
* Reconstructor-A
* Apogee-A
* Siege Caster-A

# Team Deathmatch, Territory Control, and Capture the Flag now require a minimum of four players to play (a 2v2 match)
# To thank the Dungeon Runners team for taking Exteel along with them on their retail release this week, we will be increasing inventory space by +5 for every inventory increase bonus gained during leveling, except the maximum (for now) is still 80. This means that Trainees (level 1) will now have 40 inventory spots.
# The room auto refresh timer has been beaten repeatedly and agrees to refresh now at 60-second intervals.
# Players will be able to see basic stats for everyone else on the Exteel website.
# Weapon balancing: we’ve gone through an initial pass weapon balancing. All weapon classes (ranged, melee, siege and rocket) have been balanced and most if not all weapons have been gently touched in some form or fashion.
# The Superior Earth Stomp skill has been fixed and no longer stomps everyone out of the match (and their client). It has been returned to the store. Those that managed to purchase this skill before we took it away will be compensated with the skill in the near future—hopefully on patch day or maybe soon thereafter.
# The names of 7 skills have been changed:

* Atonement -> Fatal Diplomacy
* Ghetto Blaster -> Beat Down
* Honcho -> Capital Punishment
* Twin Stars -> Meteor Strike
* Homing Laser -> Phoenix Fire
* Backbreaker -> Blitz Action
* Fatal Cry -> Death from Above

# Two additional level filters have been added:

* 25 ~ All (25+)
* 36 ~ All (36+)

# Known Issues:

* The zero durability bug is still with us unfortunately and has proven a bit more elusive than we thought. We are still working on the solution and a compensation program is being discussed for those that wasted all their repair points trying to get it fixed. If you see some or all of your Mechanaught parts or weapons suddenly hit zero (0) durability right after a match, just log back out and back in again and it should be fixed.

* The name of the clan may get truncated after 8 characters while being displayed in the game.

What do members think? Yay or nay to a section for it?

NCsoft's Team Beam puts you in command of a Mechanaught – a powerful bipedal walking war machine. On Exteel's futuristic battlegrounds, these giant robots are the key to ultimate victory.

* Purchase Skills that allow you to perform wild, devastating combination attacks.
* A forthcoming detailed ranking system allows players to compare their victories, assists, and defeats.
