I'm in!
At first I thought - this easily looks good enough to pay for, and then I thought - this is going to break heaps of ppl onto steam, and once there - they will use it as a primary game hub so well worth it for valve.

I think the main thing they're trying to do is compete with the Unreal Dev Kit/ Engine... They're offering this game for free.. Complete with all the source code and a brand new version of the Source game engine - So that small indie developers can play around with the code/ make mods/ etc. I'll certainly be looking into the source code of a commercial game that looks this good -- Just out of curriosity, to see how Valve do things.

Watching the trailers, this looks so fucking good.
I'd have paid like £20 for this.
4 unique classes and 8 unique characters. Over 40 weapons and equipment with countless loadout configurations. Unlock persistent items by gaining levels.
Looks and sounds fantastic. It's released at about 8pm i think, and it's about 2.5gig.
Get downloading as soon as its released!

EVERYONE SHOULD GET THIS!!! GAME OF THE MONTH!!! Ehm, StarCraft 2 I'd potentially pay more for this game than SC2.. That's after playing zero% of this game, and every race in SC2 Multiplayer beta

Seems pretty good fun, didn't get much time in last night and the first level was quite easy. During the transition to level 2 - the game basically told me we OP'd the last level and recommended going upto Hard which I thought was cool.
Then we got owned because
1. Si pulled a Rambo and legged it off solo 2. Stu shot me in the back (twice) 3. Stu made ineffective use of bullet time
Deffo putting this on the play list - good times!

You are mistaken - it was my epic turret placing that ultimately saved the day. When I died - you were only able to continue because my turrents were propping up the rear!

I changed to turrent when you left and they were pretty good for cover.
I also tried out Medic.. and they're VERY important.. If one of us were a medic during our first game I reckon we could have made it!

Yeah, I noticed a couple of times that little msg's came up saying 'Use medics to recover damage'. Mostly when we all had 'red' health.
Game seems very straight forward but quite fun - considering it's free I'm quite astonished at how polished it is - and there is quite a bit of innovation in there too.
It's on the lan list in anycase.

Essential items;
Welding torch to weld doors. Heal box Ammo box Turret DPS-increasing item (forget the name) for those "slow opening door moments".
Great game, shame Rob sux, bit of practise though and he'll get there.
P.S - Android is gay. Queer like a vent server.

Funny Stu - you are coming out with the hate in a forum setting where you have time to produce information. You were very quiet on TS as I gradually eroded your various opinions.
Didn't you acknowledge that if you were buying a smart phone now for the first time it probably wouldn't be an apple? Perhaps Steve Jobs caught wind of this and tea bagged you back into submission?
Well? Do you smell like Ste-Ball?
