Really; care to elaborate? Looks kind of like another generic F2P competitive MMOFPS like Combat Arms but futuristic.

@Winsord: I love futurism (my favorite genre of music) and I love script in languages that I can't read, so really this is right up my alley.

Because Blacklight was totally cool before.

You can't trick me! Not even robot suits are enough to convince me. Though I have always been a fan of the GITS inspired art style.

"How to take down a mech" Apparently you get shot a bunch and die? Yeah that will show it!

Also, shit looks really bland.

This didn't teach me how to take down a mech at all! At any rate this does look cooler than the last BlackLight mainly because skull logos add coolness points.

But those are't the things that really matter in a competitive multiplayer game.

Gotta hand it to Zombie Studios and others alike though. They're releasing a F2P game in probably one of the biggest gaming genre markets. If it includes micro-transactions, 90%+ of players won't even bother to pay a penny, but those that do will fund them enough, hopefully, to design another game. Hell, if this was my first game (though it's not ZS's) I'd be over the moon right now.

I just hope it's released before the big boys are, MW3 and BF3 will snap up the majority of FPS players.

I'll be playing it fosho xD

The second you make me pay real money for gun parts that give out way better stats than other gun parts without having an alternative way to earn them in the game is the day that game's lifespan ends.

Wow that's total BS right there. If the people who pay will always have way better gear then it may as well not even be F2P because no one will want to play it.

This looks a lot like the GITS-inspired mod that came out for HL2 a while back.

I played this yesterday @ PAX. And was pleased to find it it is not terrible. I actually enjoyed it. The mech controls were slow and are really limit your mobility but it makes sense since it balances it out due to the strength of its weapon systems.

The customization and amount of weapons is also really good. Tons of options that allow you to change everything from the standard optics and barrel options to the receiver and ammo type.

Plus its F2P, which usually means (for me) that its going to be sub-par, which makes the whole game seem better. Had more fun with this than Tribes Ascend but that one wasn't bad either.

There disagreement on who has the cooler helmets really got out of hand.
