Tabula Rasa beta players were given an unusual treat this weekend to sweeten the bitter "stress testing" pill developers wanted us to take. Saturday night a massive Bane force began assailing AFS positions rallying players to defend friendly territories or face annihilation. Ten Ton Hammer was on the scene and has your inside look at this unique event.

I watched as three or four dropships swooped in beaming down 4 squads of level 15 Bane soldiers (Many of us were only level 12 or 13) in front of the base. As they surged forward, the base AFS Light Cannons began to blaze and a few of us unleashed rifle fire from the towers. Unable to cut them down fast enough they reached our shields and began to attempt to breach our defenses. At this close range most of us grabbed shotguns and began firing indiscriminately into the crowd of invaders hoping to hold them back.

Read all about this event and someone please tell me what the Latin is for Bane Invasion!
