I looked around the website a bit and didn't see any posts about Firefall. Firefall is an upcoming free-to-play online shooter, currently in friends-and-family beta. It consists of both small, instanced PvP arenas (like Team Fortress 2) and a large, dynamic, open world. The large open world is best described by videos (short video here, long video here), but basically, it has dynamic missions and is persistent. For example, the Chosen (bad guys) might launch an attack on the main city and capture it. If you want to get into the city to use any shops, etc., you'll have to get a group of people and launch your own attack to take it back.
Firefall's developers have made it very clear that their game will not be pay-to-win. It will have a cash shop that will provide cosmetics and convenience (similar to League of Legends), but battles will be decided by which team is better at the game, not who has payed more money.
Firefall is also very customizable. When you create your character, you are not locked into a single class; you can change classes whenever you want at certain stations in the world (probably mainly in cities). You can also customize each class, changing your special abilities and tweaking your weapons' rate of fire, reload speed, and alternate-fire modes (the plasma cannon can have a bouncing spread shot or a charged, slow-moving shot for example).
