    Do you like FPS games? Do you like teamwork? What if you threw in a little RTS element? Asymmetrical team types (human and aliens) with unique playstyles (flying, crawling on walls/celings)?

    Check it out.

    It's $25 which is fantastic price point. Multiplayer only. Good tutorial/training info. It has lower system requirements than MWO (I'm getting double the FPS of MWO) and is obviously a "finished" product.

    If anyone picks this up, let's get on it.

    I'm liking what I've seen of this game so far. I think I'm gonna pick this up. ;)

    I played and enjoyed the original back in the day, but wasn't super wild about it. I will likely buy this game when it goes on sale. I realize its pretty cheap now, but I've got a lot of other games on tap. Would like a good review of it though, if someone wants to get on that :)

    Same for me. I liked what the first one wanted to be, but the game completely sucked when teams weren't full and the teams were never full. I'll give this a try at some point (when it's on sale).

    Loads of fun, but sadly I'm having connection issues, so usually I get bored of trying to find a server that works and just stop instead.

    I am looking at this, looks very unique, £15 in our money, which is half the cost of say FC3. Is there an AI/bot element to it or does it revolve around human multiplayer only?

    It's multiplayer only.

    Ok, is it well populated by players or is there bots to make up for it? I mean, is the game active enough to enjoy?

    Also, can you tell me how a typical game pans out, it is maps/server based or rounds or what?

    Is there a lot of variety in the game in terms of what I can do in each faction, or is it mainly a selection of guns and that is it?

    Sorry for the questions.
