This game has the corniest voice acting I've ever heard, and this is coming from someone who has been watching the trailers here on Giant Bomb.

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious clone of a game, maybe not gameplay wise but you know.. everything else

Why the fuck are people saying this is like a TF2 trailer? 
 
Have you seen the TF2 trailers? They are short cinematic, this is showing off the some of the personality of the character and gameplay. The only similarity between the two is that they are making individual movies for the class which, this just in, you might want to do if you are trying to sell a CLASS BASED SHOOTER.  
 
The only similarities you could even make between MNC and TF2 is the art style, and even that is going a bit far. Is every cell shaded shooter from now on instantly going to get compared to TF2? You know, I kind of like the style of TF2, and I would really like it if more games tried to start incorporating a more humorous art style instead of trying to be realistic. 
 
And by realistic I of course mean brown and grey.

This game looks awesome! A lot of hate in these comments. DotA-style creep waves, upgrading skills through exp, and different classes; ' all sounds pretty fucking rad to me! I'm actually going to re-up my LIVE subscription when this comes out. :D

Frozen in place by an invisible trap so some fucking camper can score a free headshot on you. Playing this game must be infuriating.

I hate all the kids saying this is copying TF2, you haven't even fucking played it yet. Seriously wait for it to come out before you start saying shit, it's so annoying.

HOLY CRAP if VALVE isn't talking to their lawyers I would be shocked. 
 
If some of the developers left Valve and made this game it is one thing but that is just a blatant rip of the game, the style and marketing it.  It's really sad.

I am totally turned off by their attempts to copy every aspect of TF2's existence, from art style to game play to the goddamn marketing. Maybe if the quality was at least close to the meet the videos this wouldn't be that bad, but this is neither amusing nor entertaining. And it's barely informative.

I think these games are different enough so that they wont compete as much as people think they will. "
They're really shooting themselves in the foot with the marketing, though. I agree that the gameplay looks different, so why make it look like TF2 in the trailers? If people try the trial game, that's great, but there's a lot of negativity towards even giving it a chance just because of the aesthetic similarities.

People denying this is imitating TF2 are straight-up wrong. One of them looks EXACTLY like the Demoman without an eyepatch. It's not a coincidence, it's deliberate. 
 
Not that it will effect the game mechanics. It could be a fucking great game. But come on, there's no denying where they got the idea for the art style.

I know what they wanted to do here, but it wasn't very funny.
Hope it's a good DOTA game though.

Looks sweet, and I guess people fail to see the joke of the general prejudice of people who gravitate to sniper classes tend to act like this Sniper character.

I'm cool with people making a Team Fortress 2 style game but man oh man, don't style your trailers after it because that just makes you look silly.
 
Those TF2 trailers are just TOOOO good.
 
I do think the game looks like it has potential to be fun.

It is a solid game that has a different experience than any other competitive multiplayer game out there.  It has classes like TF2 but they have skills that are upgradable during play and a fodder mechanic that keep a very exciting front line.  I played it and had a blast.
