What does ARES stand for in Firefall

There isn't much in the game at the moment beyond the first mission and endless PvP, for the simple reason that it's still in beta.

The developers are slowly adding things to do, but at the moment it's fairly empty.

As it stands you can only create 1 character, but there is no need to create more than 1 anyhow.

Each character can swap between any of the Battleframes (Firefall's version of a 'Class'), simply by unlocking it at the battleframe garage and then swapping between them by using the battleframe stations (these are located in most towns/outposts/watch towers)

You start with 3 battleframe slots, and can purchase more with redbeans (the ingame currency), but even if you dont wish to spend anything on purchasing any extra slots, you can happily delete battleframes without losing any XP or unlocks you have earned on each frame. Meaning you can delete a frame, and later load that frame again and you still have everything you had originally... you will just have to re-equip certain gear items/unlocks.
