<div class="IPBDescription">New FPS Game Thats In Beta</div>It's pretty sick. I like it.

If anyone here plays it please let me know in this thread, I'd like to get a team going for this thing.

    Basically they are aiming at being like Tribes. Which is not a bad thing.

    I have been playing a bit. It is ok, but not really my thing. I think partially because of the total lack of communication I have seen in game, and just about every match being team stacked...

    Needs more mmo qualities to it, seems pretty simple.

    Soo is the combat fun? How does it fall on the CounterStrike <------> Quake scale of tactical vs. twitch?

    God, no. The more MMO a game gets the less fun it is. If I have to grind for a gun my blood pressure goes up.

    Apart from the looking up part in the cinematic making me feel the guy is double-jointed in his neck... the angle he turns his head -vs- body movement just doesn't seem to match up. Try it, stand perfectly straight and see if you can rotate your head 90 degrees without any part (IE: upper body) wanting to move a bit to accomodate the turn.

    Sorry for Cinematic vids, unless you're an alien or have visible "differences" to the standard human... you gotta make them realistic.
    But watching a gameplay video the first thought in my mind was "Halo with jetpacks"

    Doesn't look anything special tbh. I assume its for the console? Or maybe everybody in that gameplay video was just terrible :/

    It is kind of a combination of a lot of FPS attributes. I've seen a lot of people try to explain it in text, and every explanation I see is across the board (everyone relating to what they know)

    So far I like it. It is lacking teamwork because they have mics turned off and you don't want to stop to type anything. Once they allow voice comm I think there will be more coordination. I do see some potential though, if they clean up some annoying game play features.

    Geez, could you say something more cliched? Not everything is like Halo you know.

    *watches video*

    O.o

    o.O

    It's totally halo with jetpacks!! I was totally expecting someone to launch a plasma grenade or something... That was creepy.
    And the graphics/game engine/concept looks great, but the players must really suck at it or something. Maybe they were bots?

    I think the footage was from a console controller user's perspective. Certainly on the PC I think it'll be a bit more like Tribes and a bit less like Halo.

    only on consoles it can take you 10 seconds from you see a target with his back to you before you hit him :P

    I suck at FPS games for consoles.

    I played left for dead on the xbox once, that was interesting.. little off topic though. From the footage though I can't see any thing that really stands out on this game as yet.
