14 DAY TRIAL // NCsoft announced the release of a free update to Auto Assault in both North America and Europe. New players and veterans alike benefit many new missions, improved loot, and enhanced tournament play along with system-level changes. Developer NetDevil complements the killing grounds with Emergence, a new arena tournament map, and the Coliseum for higher level players. The Battlemaster Set items are available through vendors in exchange for outpost tokens gained by capturing and holding outposts for incremental periods of time.
"We're excited to bring these updates to Auto Assault," said NCSoft producer Todd Keister. "These features really kick the game up a notch in terms of carnage, destruction, and meaningful content. For those who haven't seen the game since beta, I really encourage you to check it out now. And be ready for more, because we've got additional enhancements in the works."
Players can find and use six new types of power-ups within death matches, designed to promote a faster pace in cross-map movement and player versus player action. The Coliseum, found in Ground Zero, is built for the upper tier Auto Assault gamers. Level 60, 65 and 70 players may participate solo or in a convoy and battle wave after wave of increasingly nasty creatures and other surprises for experience, loot, and surprise rewards. In turn, the less experienced players can more readily enjoy the game through more head-on combat, improved vehicle control, better chassis and weapons, or auto-targeting combined with system-level enhancements.
NCsoft also announced a new customer referral program for Auto Assault, a standard move in MMORPG marketing techniques. Players who successfully recruit their friends to join in the game as paying customers automatically earn free game time.
