    Even though it is only 2 weeks away from RDR, I figure why not.
    Gaming needs more western games right?
     
    If anyone else decides to buy this, maybe we can play together.

    I've got the PC version, it's a decent game when you get one with players, sometimes there's a tonne of lag though, the gameplay itself is easy enough to jump in and jump out, and it's pretty good playing it like that.

    I was thinking of buying it, but with Red Dead just around the corner and it's probably short lifespan, i decided against it.

    Apparently it needs 30 minutes to download a 16mb patch.

    It's kinda fun. Pretty slow moving and the aiming is kinda janky.
     It's only 15 bucks though, you could do much worse.

    I love it. Got it on Steam a while back. It's pretty well polished being a $14 game. Only thing is is that there aren't dedicated servers yet, but they're planning on getting some soon. Also, lack of people playing is kinda the downturn. Not a good idea to release it around the same time as BFBC2.

    This game really depends on teamwork. If one team knows what they are doing and the other doesn't. It won't end well.

    It's a really fun game that doesn't feel frustrating to new players. Really easy to pick up and play, quite a few modes to choose from, and well worth the meager asking price. 
    For a class based shooter, it's fun because it doesn't take itself too seriously, and the run & gun style makes for some interesting on-the-fly strategizing among teammates. It absolutely does not reward camping, and spawning directly to a carried flag adds an instant way to jump back into the action. I really like it, because it's fun & simple. Not everything has to be a complicated pseudo-simulation. It's a neat little niche this fills on consoles. Perfect for when you just want to invest an hour or two, or even just 20 minutes.

    @CaptainCanada: Yeah, RecSpec and Fbomb hit the nail on the head. I've been playing a good bit (some last night, some this morning) and it's a lot of fun. The only gripe I have so far is a lack of host migration, but I usually play about three games on average before the host quits, and finding a game using quick match is almost instant, so it's not too big of a deal.

    The only downside is that this game WILL be dead in about 2 weeks.

    I really like Lead and Gold a lot thus far. I think it's well worth the $15.00  The action is fast-paced and the Wild Western setting is something I wish more games would take advantage of. I do agree with RecSpec though that it's probably going to be dead in two weeks because of Red Dead Redemption. Ah well, it'll be a fun two weeks!

    I'm having a ton of fun with it. I'm not sure about the dead in two weeks thing; other than the fact that it's a western game, it doesn't seem that similar to RDR. Also, with summer break coming up for people in school or college (like me), there will be plenty of people who have free time to play both games.

    Both have peaked my interest but with RDR just around the corner I've kinda held off on Lead and Gold (>_<)

    I don't think RDR is much of a comparison, but I don't know everything about RDR. 
     
    Game is super fun to me, watch the quicklook if your unsure, got me to buy it. Unfortunately the last patch(?) is crashing the game a lot so I'm not playing as much atm.
     
    I like that there's no persistence or crap it's just super simple, jump in and play a few rounds, done. 
      
    Might see the game get some more teamwork and such once dedicated servers go in.

    @Fbomb:
    I agree with Fbomb, it is fun and simple, I don't feel that everyone else is way better than me, ALA (MW2 and Halo). even if you die you can get right back in the action with the flag respawn.
    I downloaded/installed under 30 minutes. I am not sure what everyone else is talking about it taking hours to download.
