If these two dry-ass dudes were the in game match commentators I would purchase this game, no questions asked.

I think this game would be fun to play, if only to bitch slap people playing Sniper.
 
Too bad I don't have a 360.

 I haven't even played the video and I see "Uber entertainment" giving a "pro tip." These guys sound pretty xtreme, bro. When do we get to pwn some n00bs?

It looks cool, my fears that there will be a weak community seems to be shared by loads of people. And to those saying it's a TF2 ripoff, it looks WAY more like any hero arena game like DotA or LoL. Just because it's a class-based shooter doesn't mean it's a rip off :/

Anyone who thinks that "aiming down the sights increases your accuracy!" is a "pro tip" should never be allowed to play a game again.

Problem with Live Arcade titles is that people stop playing it after one week :(
But this looks pretty sweet, and I am thinking about getting it. But if I do want to get it I would havet to buy and play it the first week, otherwise there wouldn't be anyone to play against :(

The start screen had me thinking this was a TF2 ripoff, but this game actually looks fun and somewhat original. I'm just worried about the replay value - there's no reason to buy it if the multiplayer community is dead a few months after release, like in Blur.

Just by the art style, I was convinced it was a rip off of TF2, but this actually looks pretty cool. I hope it also comes out for a platform other than 360.

You can't underestimate the draw of the Battlefield name.  I'm glad that game still has population as I enjoy playing it, but Monday Night Combat isn't as much on people's radar. 
 
If there is still a player population a month from now, I might pick it up. It looks great. I'm just busy with SCII, TF2, ME2, etc.

Since there aren't any plans for a REAL version of Team Fortress 2 on the PS3... this'll have to do.

Like a lot of my fellow GB'ers, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fun this game looks.  I think I might pick this up when it comes out.

That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. I thought this was going to be the weakest of the summer XBLA games, but it does look more promising after watching that.

The demo dude kind of sucks, he aims too low, does something special happen with head shots that he was avoiding? Anyway the game looks great, but I still hope that there's at least a little persistence like TF2. No problem with what I saw, but it definitely insintivises continuous play.
 
EDIT: Never mind there totally is!

I just hope that the PC version supports dedicated servers. I weep for all the multiplayer games that are casualties of matchmaking services.

Maybe I'm retarded, but that game looks pretty incomprehensible.  I'm not entirely sure what the hell's going on.

" Looks pretty polished, but like most XBLA games the multiplayer base will be next to nothing a few weeks after release. "
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. "
Yes, I too agree with this series of quotes.  I feel like this could be a really cool game but as for how long this game will be relevant to gamers is what will likely keep me away.  XBLA games, historically, don't keep players online for long... I am sure there are exceptions and maybe this will be one of them, but I am sure that they are few are far between. "
Historicaly there hasn't been multiplayer games worth staying for. Battlefield 1943 being an exception and still has players on it. If the game is good and worth the time then ppl will play it.
