Firefall is a free-to-play open-world MMO shooter from Red 5 Studios. It is 2233 near Fortaleza, Brazil: an extra-dimensional storm called the Melding is consuming the planet, and the Chosen, humans it transformed, push the survivors back. Open beta began in July 2013, the full launch on 29 July 2014.
You wear power armour called a Battleframe: five main types, swappable, each with its own weapons and skills, with jump jets and wings for gliding. Shooting is skill-based, in first or third person. The world runs on dynamic events and Titan fights, and frames improve through loot and crafting.
Money killed it. Red 5 missed payroll in December 2015, the whole development team was gone by July 2016, and the servers shut on 7 July 2017 with about a day's notice. It never had Russian.
