Out of the heartbreaking news of the plan to shut down Auto Assault, there is a plan of action to save Auto Assault. Read about it here.

For the diehard fans and those who enjoy the game, let's do our part!

NOTICE: Today NCsoft is announcing that it will be closing down service for Auto Assault at the end of the summer. The service will close at midnight on August 31, 2007. As of today, any player currently in the service with an active billed account will not be billed again. If players have previously purchased time via multi-month billing or time cards that extends their service past the July 31 date, NCsoft will reconcile these accounts appropriately. There will be more announcements coming soon regarding the shut down of Auto Assault and its impact on current accounts. Please check back at www.autoassault.com for more information.

Monday Multimedia Showcase
Each Monday, AAVault will be pulling piece of recorded AA history from our vaults. One of the early CG trailers for AA included a little cartoon short much like those seen during intermissions at the Drive-In threatres... but different. :) Check out that 2005 trailer here!

You're familair with the procedure - stand toe to toe with the mob and then click your skill keys in order. When the mob dies, walk up to the next one and repeat the process. Not all MMOGs are like that. :)

Check out this new gameplay video by Thor that gives a bit of a comparison between standard MMOG PvE and Auto Assault's PvE in either the 4Meg Lo-Res version or the super-r33t 82Meg Hi-Res version. :)

Once again we have our "Eye on the Enemy" feature, where we bring you a bit of info on some of the nastiest that you're up against out there. This week... 'Mek territory!

Eye on the Enemy :
- Scav Punk
- Mudspitter
- TemperNet Lightning
- Brood Crawler

I've noticed a few things while taking these screenshots. First of all, screenshots of moving targets is hard! Second, is that the detail and graphics in this game is incredible. The amount of detail in a tiny little thing like the Scav Punk was impressive. It's a miniscule mob that you rarely ever see that close. The guns, the face... it was all rather impressive to see. Then things like the Mudspitter. I can't stand those things, but when you get a decent shot of them, ot almost looks like a painting. They are creatures that actually look like they belong in their environment. Auto Assault really excels in presenting a believable environment, and the atmosphere create really gets me looking forward to doing this feature each week. Enjoy!
