there's a steam sale right now. im half tempted to get the 4pack.

I got it when it first came out. Wasn't what I thought it was. Servers were mostly dead when I played and didn't find it appealing. You slowly move and repair, fire. rinse lather and repeat. Maybe they changed some things since then.

yeah, i watched the videos of the standalone game before it went online. based on the grudgematch videos i linked, the depth of strategy and teamwork appears to be there, dont know if the actual controls and other mechanics are passable.

if they had 4v4 or larger battles it could be really epic.

well i bought a 4 pack, and finally got around to installing.

its about what i expected. fairly conventional controls, decent effects, poor interface, and opaque as far as situational/data awareness.

anyone else playing?
