Looks really good actually. I used to love Rogue Spear way back when. I devoted countless hours when I was a youngster to that game.

I'm guessing it will in no way live up to the originals, but it is looking a hell of a lot better than what typically passes as a tactical shooter these days. First I've heard of it though, so will have to do some more research about it.

Looks sweet to me, man I miss laddering in the 4v4 in Ravenshield TWL

I used to be on a couple of teams in rogue spear that were #1 on clan ladder way back when. those were indeed good times.

Shoot any wall and it crumbles? Also some of the players look like they missed too much. I think a real game would have a quicker death rate.

i noticed the reinforced walls didn't stand up to more than 1 blast of gunfire either.

Whatever.

Physics/destructible environment looks interesting. Loved Crysis and the Red Faction concept.

That gameplay video looks scripted and/or played using console controllers, but even I could aim better with a controller. A "real" match would end in 5 seconds.

That's why I think PvE will be better because you will be able to experiment with tactics and different strategies. In PvP I see a lot of matches ending before anyone gets a chance to use the environment or drone gadgets.

My guess is that PvP will devolve into Counterstrike and team deathmatch (e.g. Call of Duty) games: run and gun + twitch shooting. I can't stand that anymore, and I'm old now so I can't keep up with the kiddies in games where you can die in one shot.
