I'm not sure why but the play button doesn't respond at all on this page for me.

You in Chrome? There's an Age-wall. Only works in IE for me.

The game looks fun, but extremely annoying and unfunny at the same time. The commentary certainly doesn't help, either.

I... had never wished for better "mute all" functionality on a trailer before.

Well played, I guess? At least it captures the full experience of playing a F2P online FPS.

Aaaanyway, gore looks fun, graphics look neat, I wonder how procedural it is and I don't think the character models look nearly as funny as their creators think they do. May give it a shot, be reminded why I wanted to mute the voice track in this and never touch it again.

That was a poorly thought out trailer. The banter thing doesn't work if it's not straight screen capture of gameplay.

That said, I'm fan of cartoon gore and am willing to give it a shot. The trailer did no favors for it though in my opinion.

I've actually really enjoyed what I've played! I just can't wait to have more weapons and maps. The game practically feels like a third person arena FPS, which I think is the main reason I keep going back to it periodically.

Game trailers that include fake player banter are so terrible. This trend must stop.

Also this game is trying way too hard to be offensive and wacky.

@iluvmsmarvel: That makes this worse, somehow. As if that was possible. They should've gone the opposite direction, tried to sound like the classic, brittish snobs, horrified yet removed. "Dear me, you really ought to stop drinking so much, your kidney is in a terrible state!"

I don't know, parts of this look like dumb fun, hitting grenades with golf-clubs is A-okay in my book and the potential character destruction is a really neat touch, but the art-style for the weapons, the effects and the characters is just bland. Some of it is even a bit embarrassing.

The game is super fun and the weapon customization you can do is pretty awesome. Also the style of the game and the way they handle the gore is just terrific. Dudes losing a leg limping around holding their stump until they fall over and die. Blowing holes in arms and chests and seeing rib cages etc. Awesome.

The F2P stuff is fine. Spacebuxs can only be used for cosmetics now (previously for everything if I remember correctly) and the Blutes you earn from matches, leveling etc you use for the tech tree to unlock all the weapon specific stuff.

Game looks potentially fun, but that "banter" was embarrassing.

Fun game. I haven't played in months. When I left, the F2P stuff wasn't too gross. Hopefully it's still fine.
