The first was one of my favorite games last year, and I just got a PC capable of running games, so I CANNOT wait till this comes out!

God MNC was such an awful game.

An unfunny blend of DOTA-like games and the comic style of TF2 (there are no more comparisons between tf2 and mnc because the humor in mnc trips and falls right on its face)

The personality of each character is incredibly uncreative and every word of dialogue reminded me to mute the television

The only thing this game had going was the gameplay. It wasn't perfect, but it was something new and interesting.

MNC rocks! Too bad the 360 had more active players than the far superior PC version.

I never could get into MNC. This Super version looks a bit more appealing than the original one, but I'm not a multiplayer gamer... so I probably won't get it.

I'm in - good video. The F2P model looks like a great move, because I don't think I would've been onboard for another full-priced download.

Huh, never played MNC because it just seemed like a low-budget take on TF2, but I'm loving the DOTA elements of this. If they pull this off and don't make the paid elements too intrusive, hopefully it could become a shooter version of LoL (popularity-wise, at least).

I'm hoping they change some of the voices; right now, they're reused from MNC. (i.e. Spark has all the same lines as the Assault)

Looks surprisingly strong, it is the MOBA elements that seem to really shine here. Will keep a look out for this.

Looks like a great improvement over the first game. Could be a fun side game with LoL.

I've got no idea what League of Legends is. I just enjoyed Monday Night Combat because it's the most balanced shooter on the market.

This looks like more of that, so I'll definitely check it out. Once I get a PC that can run it.

I don't like the idea of having to choose a character before a match and you cannot change during, it seems a really bad idea.

If you find that you do not have much of a defense you cannot change class to try and increase your defense. I do not like when developers remove a perfectly great feature that was in a previous game in the sequel.

I'm pretty surprised by how good I think the game appears to be. I wasn't really into MNC, but I'm really liking the new direction.

Didn´t they talk about supporting the first game? Did they ever support it at all? As far as I´m concerned these guys can talk all they want. They will probably deliver about half of what they promise.

I looove that most matches are 25 min long that's one the things I hate about most of the other MOBAs the matches in LoL can get too long and after playing for 60+ min your not having any fun and if your team is losing playing feels like a waste of time.

MOBA style class/char preselect kinda turns me off a bit (I tend to swap classes a lot in TF2). Anytime you get into a game with idiots and end up with a bad comp you really need to be able to switch classes.

Maybe that works in a shooter, maybe it doesn't. Definitely going to give a try when I can.

@Superfriend: On PC there in total 8 product updates. These included not only balance tweaks, but character gear, dedicated server support for the Blitz Mode, an updated UI, adding Bot Killstreaks, an All-Star rating system, 3 new maps not present in the original console version. These are just the changes off the top of my head.

I have no idea how much of this is present in the console version(except for the maps). You shouldn't be so quick to judge devs that you don't seem to know anything about.

"So what inspired the switch from the stand alone model to the F2P model?"

Yeah, it's just a shame that game died out so quickly. It was honestly one of the best multiplayer shooters out there.

I really liked the first game because it was quite possible to compete as a non twitch type player, and it had such a minimalistic look and feel. This game seems to have a bit too much going on for me.
