[NF2] Navy Field 2 Website Removed by Nexon America
I hope most people followed by advice about not holding their breath for Navy Field 2. Nexon America has removed the website for the game and I think it’s safe to say that the plans have been cancelled. The game has already had its Japanese service shut down and the European service is struggling and I expect its fate to be similar.
In other news, Extraction has been extremely quiet with a frankly abhorrent lack of communication between the game’s team and those wanting into the closed beta which is ongoing (closed beta site). The teaser site for Deth Bath which was mistakenly launched earlier this year remains offline.
[NF2] Don’t Hold Your Breath for Navy Field 2
Of course nothing official has come out of Nexon America regarding the company’s service of Navy Field 2 in North America, but here’s my recommendation to those patiently awaiting open beta and official release: don’t hold your breath. I’m not at all saying that you should forget all about the game and that it certainly definitely without a doubt isn’t going to go any further in service (Nexon did say that time would be taken to iron out the multitude of bugs and glitches in the game before the next beta phase) but I am saying that’s what’s very likely.
Navy Field 2 failed in Japan and is now closed in that region and is struggling in Europe where I don’t expect it to last very long. Navy Field 2 has been removed from Nexon America’s main portal, the closed beta did not live up to expectations (from what I’ve heard), no lines of communication between the NF2 team and the community (Facebook, Youtube) have been updated in a while (~6 months) and the website is just sitting there unchanged. The prognosis is very grim.
[NF2] Nexon Europe’s Navy Field 2 Open Beta Begins April 18
Nexon Europe today revealed that the open beta for their brand new massively multiplayer online naval real-time strategy game Navy Field 2 will be launched on April 18.
Throughout the period of the Public Evaluation Test, NEXON Europe listened to the extensive feedback from the community and implemented important changes such as a more user friendly tutorial, allowing players to fully understand the Navy Field 2 experience, interface changes to enable a more MMO experience and scaling the game to make it even larger than before.
In Navy Field 2, players will experience impressive naval action with large-scale warfare with up to 64 players in 32 vs. 32 in PvP battles. Players will build their ships to fight for one of four nations, which are Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. With over 170 ships that can be remodeled into 456 different styles; including destroyers, battle cruisers, aircraft carriers, and submarines, the level of customization has been tremendously evolved compared to Navy Field 1. Yet, building a ship with the most fire power will not guarantee to win a battle in Navy Field 2.
“In Navy Field 2, there is no such thing as an unbeatable ship. The game offers a balanced Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic whereby each vessel has unique strengths and weaknesses. In this balanced environment, players must manage their forces with meticulous strategies to win each battle,” said Kent Jeong, Director at SD EnterNET, the developing studio.
