It's been slammed by GameSpot and IGN got 6 out of 10 on both i think ?
Won't be wasting my cash on this, it looked soooo promising as well  :sad:

Promising but fell flat on its face. Its like playing an Alpha version of the game. Offline bots dont understand teamwork, so you look to online play. Which again, is useless as the lag is terrible about 75% of the time (to the extent its unplayable). To fix lag issues  they patched it (on day 1) which decreased the human limit from 8v8 to 4v4, but its still a huge problem.

This game was meant to revolutionise online play, but reducing match sizes to half what they should be and STILL have horrendous lag? Shabby!

Its a shame because when you eventually find a lag-free match, its actually quite enjoyable, as long as you like PS2-style jaggedy graphics with a long texture-load time  :sick:

Its a shame it doesnt look like the original promo video, even the grenade explosions are weak to look at  :angry:

That said, with a proper patch for lag and graphics, it could be awesome. Invest when its £15 in 6 months time!

I don't think a semi will give the same results

I haven't heard much positive about it coming from FPS competitive league forums. Many are saying it is trying to hard to impersonate TF2 and isn't doing a good job if it. It had so much potential, but i think it has failed at the last hurdle.

Just wait for BF3, only FPS worth buying this year tbh.

I cant play TF2, it was really annoying at the time but over it now :P Everytime I try and launch nothing happens, but if I try again it says its already running. On the rare occasion it does launch it crashes on map change  :angry:

If its anything like TF2 I may give it a go

Right well this received a 2nd patch this afternoon.

The horrendous lag which affected around 1/3 of all online games appears to have gone...
