Blacklight: Retribution – Free to Play FPS | Golden Helmet Event!
By CrabClaw @ January 31, 2012 at 6:48pm
Now announcing Blacklight: Retributions Phase 4 Matchmaking test event! Earn an exclusive golden helmet armor piece for open beta by using the newly implemented matchmaking system.
Participating in this event is simple. Help us test out this new system by playing to completion 20 ranked matchmaking rounds from now until the end of Phase 4. By accomplishing this, you will earn the exclusive golden helmet armor item to be used in the open beta. Show off your early arrival to the game with this one of a kind item!
Using the matchmaking system is easy. Click “Play Game” after logging in, and then click on “Ranked match” underneath the quick join button. This will place you in the ranked matchmaking queue automatically. Once enough players are queued up, your game will begin.
Remember that you need to complete the match to earn progress towards this event. Leaving halfway through will not get you any closer to that 20 match requirement to earn the golden helmet. As always, your feedback about this system is greatly appreciated. You can talk about it on our official forums.
Good luck, Agents!
Play Blacklight: Retribution, the free to play FPS with intense futuristic action.

zeurakul101 @ Feb 23rd, 2012 1:37AM
i tryed to get into a ranked match the whole time during the beta, but no one played when i was playing i i might have gotten 1 ranked match, thats it
xrdy @ Feb 21st, 2012 4:27PM
This sucks for me because i just found out about this game 2-3 days ago and i got a beta key and everything but was too late.
muramasasama @ Feb 20th, 2012 12:38AM
Yeah anyone who participated in closed beta should be given the golden helmet. Like everyone said there were never ranked matches available. Always 0 people available for matchup. Therefore it is pointless.
sepon
agreed, cuz most people are getting nothign from closed beta, we help them test game, and get nothing cuz theyre resetting us
smilypants @ Feb 18th, 2012 10:19PM
You guys should give the golden helmet to everyone that joined the closed beta, because it isn't fair that sometimes people just couldn't join ranked match because other people weren't playing.
tpwner117
yeah true cause this does look dam good
sickne2s @ Feb 18th, 2012 8:50AM
I only played it once. Other times no one was joining the Ranked Games :(
tpwner117 @ Feb 18th, 2012 12:05AM
i really want this helmet so please blacklight fix the ranked match :(
mattxaus @ Feb 17th, 2012 6:31PM
So I got the blacklight beta about a week ago or so, and joining a ranked queue gave no indication of ANY kind of working order, most commonly "no match found". When hosting my own ranked, the ETA never changed, no body joined the queue making it seem like a placeholder button for a future proper ranked function, thus forcing me to believe "quick join" would dump you in to the best server held ranked match available. having played that, i thought id give the ranked button another try on a whim whilst facebooking, lo and behold after 20minutes it actually put me in a match. it is unreasonable that this closed beta event be limited to only a select few, of the minority that even got beta keys. Many other closed beta trials reward thpse that play equally, not force them to jump through loosely constucted hoops. Should it not just play out that those that enter the CBT and do anything be rewarded, not just one defined option, which then practically prevents you from testing other things as you concern yourself soley with having a staring context with the unwavering Ranked ETA timer of deciet and frustration?
