Oh god, yes. What little I was able to play of the game was quite engaging, but after the first time I closed the game my GFWL account stuffed up and I've never been able to play it again.Shoggoth2588 said:
Oh well, at least I only wasted $15 and hopefully I might even be able to fix the problem someday. It's all Microsoft's fault anyway, not Timegate's.
Outstanding game, dare I say sleeper FPS of the year, shame I seem to be finding a max of about 10 buggering servers for the game now.
I really hope this review will bring more people in the game. It's not the most original idea out there but they have done a lot of things right:
1) Large maps and players
2) Increased mobility via overdrive and drop-ins to get to the action fast
3) Emphasis on player co-op rather than kills (no K/D ratio and you can only really compare when the game ends)
4) No cheap 1-hit kills (others may disagree with this)
5) Unlocks are relatively balanced, with the exception of Pauldrons, which are more of a reward for veterans without being too overpowered (another 4-10% more effectiveness, maybe). Some may argue that Particle Cannons are a bit OP at the moment.
6) Fairly diverse loadouts to experiment with
7) Offline play to practice
8) A fair chunk of weapons can be unlocked offline
Biggest problem right now seems to be the limited number of maps and maybe some design choices but generally I find this game to give as much fun per dollar as TF2. Also it's a small community at the moment in Australia (relatively). Some people accus GFWL of having an effect as well.
Still, I really hope this becomes a success so other companies will consider this as an example of not having to blow everything into an AAA title that costs 4-6 times more.

I picked this game up the other day, and I'm loving it. The story is like a SciFi Channel Original Movie, which I actually found pretty charming. The voice acting is what you would expect for a cheap game, but aside from this one annoying general it's not all that bad. The AI is better than many AAA shooters out there (though my thoughts may be skewed, since I just finished a solo Legendary run of Halo: Reach), and the multiplayer utilizes these AI to finish out the game roster if you don't have enough people together to fill the 32 player games. Yes, you heard me right: GOOD AI IN MULTIPLAYER ON A CONSOLE.
I dont know... $60 is a lot for this... wait, whats that? Its only $15!? WHERE THE HELL IS MY WALLET!?!?
Ah, I also had assumed it was mostly multi-player focused with single-player shoehorned in with a training mod or bots or something. I will probably pick this up now.
