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

Really can't wait for this. Looks awesome.
However, what do I not like is the hype machine you're trying to build. You buff your own games up so much it makes it suspicious. Your videos showcase an awesome looking game, fun and such, but there has been many games with a similar look, and feel, and gameplay based off the three demo's so far.
But your videos constantly state that it is very unique gameplay.
I am stunned....... EA,Activision,Ubisoft,Crytek..... all of the f*ckin sudden.......these names no longer have any meaning in my head....
This is an unbelievable effort to do something...... and not have someones fancy logo and bossy behaivior f*ck it up.......
I am simply speechless......all CAN say..... is that I will very patiently wait and express my support....
Ok Mister xalener,
no need to get nasty and personal.
This is a fps, right? So for an fps, the graphics are crucial. No one want's to play a shooter with ancient graphics from 2005. These guys trying hard to get the best out of Unity with post processing effects and shaders. That's great. But this is like you put a shiny icing on top of a poorly backed cake. Unity rendering capacities are pretty weak compared to UDK or Cry, when it comes to desktop games.
And what do you think how fast this will run in a Browser? I tried it and the performance was not really satisfying.
I'm not against Unity at all. Or this project. They doing a good job with the limited opportunities. And I'm happy to see when a small indie team compete against the big guys. Unity is also a nice tool for casual games and great for mobile games. I worked on some Unity games for iPhone as well.
But for an desktop/console fps, it is simply not the best choice. There are engines which are way more potent for such a graphics intense genre with optimized tools that suits perfectly for such a task.
Furthermore permit me to remark, that I find it really immature to get voted down and personally attacked just because I asked a simple question. I did not talk this project or Unity down. And I have no problem to discuss this as long we keep this in a decent manner. Ok?

That's a bit near-sighted, my friend. You need to expand your horizons. Many f2p games look like **** compared to this and do extremely well. Hell, CS is still played over the better-looking CS:S. It's not ALL about graphics.
With that said, I do think these guys have put a great effort into polish, which is way more important. Every piece looks like it received the tlc it needs. You are also vastly under-estimating Unity's potential. Not only is a great engine already, there are MAJOR engine upgrades coming in the next few months.
To correct some misinformation: The Browser player and Stand-alone code are practically identical, so it will run fine in either (and already does as evident in the bullseye and running man demos).
well it depends really, but btw i don't think it's possible to run unity on a console, but a good game dose not depends on it's graphics examples would include freespace 1&2, halo 1, homeworld, red alert 2, and tiberium sun, these are truly fantastic games all with horrible graphics compared to now but yet they live on. i rate games based on game play, re-playability, overall awesome, originality, and that's all i can think of right now but yeah it doesn't matter about the graphics, it's the game that matters and if you think otherwise your an idiot
Oh my god!! Been following this game on their site for like a year and a half now! I want to upgrade to spearhead soooooo bad, but I don't have any $$ :(
Awesome advertisement.
can't wait
Great stuff- I suggest a re-work of the marine model- add a few bags to his torso, make his faceplate more cosmetically impressive. Otherwise great stuff.
