Talk:Huxley (video game)

Article Name
Should the title of this article not be "Huxley (MMOFPS)" or "Huxley (Computer Game)"? --Hardgoodbye 01:23, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Computer game wouldn't work as there is an X-Box 360 version coming out as well. MMOFPS is a lesser known term so that would not work either. I think "Huxley (video game)" is our best option. Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would suggest "MMOFPS video game." MMOFPS isn't as cryptic a designation as it was a few years ago - with games like World of Warcraft so popular, people are familiar with the MMO- abbreviation.  The "MMOFPS" part is an important designation to apply to this game, since that is what sets it apart from every other FPS out there and is the main thrust of the game.--CBrewster 14:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

-We need to stop having the page change everyday, if someone puts something that has good information on it. Keep It! -Who ever recently changed the Huxley release date back to 2007, has false hope. The webzengames.com page is outdated, all recent data points to a Q1-Q2 2008 release date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 19:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It may be incorrect info, but it's verifiable. It bears mentioning because it is the official developers site. I wouldn't call it wishfull thinking but following WP:NOR BURNyA 19:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thats dumb though, we know its not coming 2007. We know that page isnt updated, and we even have there finical report that says that it will be coming Q1-Q2 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 19:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The financial report is mentioned in the article. If Huxley is that worried about it, let Webzen know that there is a typo and then we can remove the "within 2007" from the article. It would seem that a company that is trying to release a breakthrough game would have an up to date website, so perhaps they are considering the Beta a 'Korea pre-release' or something stupid. Don't know, and it doesn't make a lot of sense. I'll try to email them today. BURNyA 19:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Huxley Wikipedia page, cleaned up. Please keep it this way! ~4/7/08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.225.15 (talk) 01:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Brave New World
Where is it documented that this game is based on A Brave New World?

It's been discussed by the developers "Also, Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel Brave New World served as the inspiration for the game's name, gave us ideas in planning a world concerning the game's overall social and class structure." http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/704/704750p1.html Croryf 08:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "Inspired by", not "based on". The actual game seems to have no relation to Huxley's novel. A resemblance between the "overall social and class structure" of the two games is a very weak argument for a similarity. The class structure of Huxley's novel wasn't particularly original or unique. For example, Gattaca's page doesn't discuss Brave New World anywhere. We may as well say that the Huxley video game is based on The Communist Manifesto. --Heyitspeter 04:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

External links section
The external links section in this article is massive! We need to get rid of some of those fan sites; one or two fan sites at the most! Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Feel free to get started. Modul8r 16:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I've been taking all of the fansite links down. There's two sites whose members tend to use wikipedia to pester each other via vandalism, and it's become a pain. If noone objects, I'm going to continue to just leave the official links unless a fansite gives important verifiable info that can't be found elsewhere, or at least has substance beyond "this will be our clan one day, and we're gonna pownerz you". BURNyA 18:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Pricing
ijji. Free to play.

(not) WP:NOT
I dont think this article sounds like an avertisment at all. I'm taking the flag down if noone objects. BURNyA 21:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
There's been alot of vandalism on this page from the fan forums. I think that if it continues, this may need to be semi protected until the beta comes out and they have another place to send their attention. BURNyA 19:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Only a couple of hours after I posted this and it's still going on. BURNyA 22:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Beginning text
The beginning text isn't quite in wikipedia style. Contralya (talk) 22:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Redo
This whole article is currently in the tank! It is hardly in wikipedia format and the text is not as encyclopedic it should be. It talks about a TRAILER as if it were something seen in the game. Anyone who has seen video game advertisements and got the game knows that cinematic trailers do NOT represent game-play. 65.27.139.162 (talk) 22:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Possibly free2play
There was an article on www.gamespy.com that speculates this game may be released as a free2play. http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/huxley/878392p1.html Flem12 (talk) 23:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

MMO? Number of players isn't matching up
Games Radar

Page 3 says the largest PvP map for release will be 20v20 players. That's 40 people. The gameplay section should be changed to reflect this. Not sure where these 60v60 figures are coming from. They probably have no research behind them or are very out of date. Someone should research this if they care. I won't make the change, just passing this along. 141.218.136.207 (talk) 19:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

IF no one objects, I am going to remove every instance of MMO from this article, as this game hasn't been planned as mmo for a long time. I have taken a look at other games featuring only 64 players and none of them call themselves an MMO fps, wolfenstein: enemy territory for example. Yea sure the plans were for an mmofps but that has been cancelled as the article rightly states due to engine and cost issues etc so the game will just be a normal online fps. 86.134.41.189 (talk) 23:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

out dated
it says it was released q4 2008 in korea but it hasnt aswell as oter info —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.41.88 (talk) 18:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Xbox 360 Version basically cancelled

Weapons
I noticed the weapons section of the page was incredibly outdated. The previous section said that there were only seven types of weapons, when there are really nine. It also said that the discharger (flamethrower) is a "rumored weapon", when it was in fact confirmed to be in the game. The other weapon the section was mission was the Enforcer's Flinger.

I've updated the page to have the current confirmed information about the weapons in the game. I put a lot of information there. If anyone feels that it is too much information and that all of it isn't really needed, feel free to delete any unnecessary information. 75.69.199.57 (talk) 06:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Release Date
It seems like the date for this game keeps being changed. It has not been announced yet, and is definitely not "Thursday @ 6:66" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.9.130 (talk) 02:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Gameplay Section Changes
Since we've had two closed betas and a three-day open test, I've completely revamped the Gameplay section based on the facts we now know about the game. 66.31.147.246 (talk) 07:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I redid the skill section to the most up to date information (65.2.243.157 (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2010 (UTC)).

Experience and Leveling section needs changes.
The current system for Huxley is based around levels and license points. Every level you are given one license point but every rank up you are given 3 with the exception of S rank which gives 5 license points. There are 30 levels which have ranks based on S being level 30. A being level 20. B being level 10 and C being level 0-10. Battlepoints are the name of the experience gained during combat for killing npc's or players. Battlefunds are the money used within the game although in the Frontier Test they added a new system for the repair system for armor and gear that used a seperate kind of points(Don't think they had a name). There is also lunarites used to add a random upgrade to armor and gear which can be recieved through PvE occassionally or pvp within skirmishes. (65.2.243.157 (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

just a question
when is this coming out for sure because i have seen multiple dates and the are all different and i would like to know where i can find it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by H3l10k1ttyyy (talk • contribs) 18:51, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
