Battlestar Galactica Online’s open beta testing is go. The game was in closed testing since November 8, 2011 but today they have brought the game online to the public as a free to play beta. This is basically going to be the game itself.
As many of you may know I’m a HUGE Battlestar Galactica fan. So obviously I’m going to jump right into this, as a Cylon. I think the success of this game will depend so heavily on it having a second viable faction.
I’ll be playing through this game for the next few days and hopefully by then I’ll be able to provide a decent review. For now join me, I’m Troublmaker on Cylon side if anyone is interested in missioning with me. Note, it’s a browser based MMO so you won’t have to download much to play this. As you can see from the screen shot below for a brower based MMO the graphics are quite good.
When Stargate Worlds developers created Stargate Resistance and were eventually sued and shut down I felt that space MMOs may potentially just be a dead franchise. Hopefully Battlestar Galactica will save this with what feels like very fun game play and an active questing system.

The game lost appeal when due the daily kill player quests there is now camping of spawn spots which allow the higher level player to kill the new players. Its quiet a clever plan on Bigpoint part as this encourages you to actually pay to skip the lower levels and pay to get a higher level and better ships so that you are not blown away with to smithereens in your start ship. But the side affect of that is there is not mass camping at spawn spots to ensure kills are made for daily quests. Nice graphics poor game design that will not hold new player for long. Waste of money to start and game play is ruined by mass camping of spawn spots.
