There was a closed beta for a while, game released FOR FREE to all people just today.
It uses Unreal Engine 3 so it looks a lot like Unreal Tournament.

Just played for about 2 hours straight with my roommate.

It's just a fast paced, pew pew pew, shoot em up, FPS game.

You start with 3 classes, and it has lots of other classes, weapons, perks etc to be unlocked.

You can unlock think by playing a bunch and gaining xp to use to buy things, or by paying for xp boosts/etc.

All in all so far it's a pretty fun game, semi-addicting.

Lol no… Too many real people to deal with a bot can't account for all of that.
Autoaims etc are closets you can get.


Thanks everyone for showing your interest! It takes pretty damn long to unlock any of the cool stuff, but I don't think I'd ever pay for any xp to spend :). I'll just enjoy what on given and buy then over time…


Well it's Friday and in out of my last class so I should be on quite a bit today besides my girlfriend being over and needing attention :p!

Make sure to post your usernames once you join so we can all play together!!!

Death match mode is more just killing without point for fun which is nice, but oh man capture the flag intense!!!! It would be sweet to have a good team/lots of teamwork going on and own it up it's great!!!

I posted the system requirements on the first page, I also just added a youtube video that tells how to adjust settings to get higher FPS.
