Red 5 Studios is suspending the player-vs-player portion of Firefall. In a post on the official forums<\/a>, CEO Mark Kern stated that the shooter MMO’s PvP mode will be shut down so the team can rework PvP into a more popular offering. Kern revealed that less than 3% of Firefall players use the PvP feature on a regular basis due to the mode’s concentration on high skill eSports-compatible gameplay.<\/p>\n
