It's a good looking game, but let's face it, XBLA games just can't hold a community unless it's something huge like Uno or 1943.

I thought this looked really stupid from previous videos, but after this it actually looks really fun.

I would SO buy this game if they changed the name to "Monday's Bright Wombat".  If you wanna talk competitive differentiation, the wombat brandosphere is still virgin territory.  Wombattering Ram, anyone?

For 1200 points I think this looks really interesting. I am actually pretty surprised by how little buzz there seems to be about this game from the gaming community at large.

"There is bacon high-fiving ammo, which is always awesome." It's the delivery that makes that line work.
 
This game doesn't look half-bad, but I just don't think there will be enough of a community behind it to make the game worthwhile.

I actually may have to get this. I want a good semi-serious shooter on a console to jump into once in a while. I'm just concerned about the community, if it even will have one after week one.

Eh, I'll play it for the week or so there is a community and that alone will make it worth the cost of admission.

Looks pretty polished, but like most XBLA games the multiplayer base will be next to nothing a few weeks after release.

I might have to play this for the sole reason that people might mistake me for an Uber developer.

Looks like TF 2 lite with a dash of Dota thrown in. Too bad it isn't coming out on PC. Would certainly pick this up for $5-$10.

Looks interesting. I'll need to give the trial a download and see what it's like for myself first before thinking about buying it.

This looked pretty good to me... I'm worried about the online base, but I thought there was a single player mode also, so I'd like to see how that looks.

So, basically, I can't play this game. Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon. At least TF2 is better.

This is how I feel about this.  If this were a PC game with a decent community, I'd probably try this, but I don't want to be forced to dedicate a week to a game and then have it die. 
 
For games I love like TF2, the game is just always populated and I don't have to "make time" for it.

Looks good to me, thought the video wasn't that great. I mean, the combat looks cool, but what really ropes people in is customization of classes, upgrades etc. That was just one map, one gametype, one class, one loadout. Hard to judge based on that (though it seems many people have?).
 
But seeing it in action combined with everything else I've heard about it, it's still a day one purchase for me next Wednesday.
