Mission summary

In light of last weekend's successful community event we decided to make a small update that addressed some of all the feedback we received.

The main highlight is the ability to switch teams during a short countdown on each map, just before the round begins. This makes it easier to setup the desired teams before a round commences.

The teams will be remembered from map to map. We also made some improvements to the spawning on each map and fixed the collision problems with the marine on steps and objects on Arch. Other improvements include better names over head, skippable ODD warning and squashing of old weapon/ammo bugs.

As always, please give us your unfiltered feedback and suggestions in the

I really like the look and feel to this. It has brilliant animation, some of the best I've ever seen in an indie game. The texture quality and models are all very good, and it seems like it has a high degree of concept in every area.

I can't help but think, that with a team of your skill level and dedication, that it might be a wiser plan to route your efforts for several months into a simpler set of innovative android & iphone aps, and benefit from that marketing & revenue stream first. An FPS has a giant development cycle, and frack tons of competition. You can always continue the dev cycle while investing in a smaller platform to gain exposure and donations on mobile devices.

I must say, this game looks epic, but I'm not planning to buy it until I can scrounge up the money to get a good Desktop PC, my current laptop (best of December 2006) probably couldn't play this. So... I'll buy once I can get the money to get a good desktop.

I really like game this because the devs are taking thier with things unlike MW3 they rushed the game so they can make money (it uses the same engine as mw2,they just put new perks, equipment, gernades and guns just to make it look alot diffrent from mw2) but like BF3 the devs
of that game took their time and look where they gotten themselfs, Loads fans, money and great reviews from people who played the game.
But here in 2011 today, some game companys are sooo greedy that they wouldn't bother makeing good games, they'll just put a buch trash together then put it on the market just to make cash.

This is like Dead Space level of immersion meeting a chilling Metal Gear Solid 3 storyline with the finesse of... I don't know, some great FPS :P

I believe in this game, the HD video turned me from a non believer into a peon hoping to spread the joys of this game.

PS: I didn't play Dead Space 2 but I'm guessing its multi-player is Left4Dead meets The Aliens Franchise, hence my choice of comparison above.
