I fucking hate Charlie Sheen. I haven't even been paying all that much attention to his antics, but the very first thing that popped into my head when I saw the ESRB rating was "tiger blood".

At first I was pretty iffy on the premise of this game, but looking at this, it looks as if the parkourish aspects of the game could do a lot to differentiate it from all of the other team-based shooters out there.

Hmm looks cool, but I do not remember the art style looking that much like border lands before, it is kind of off putting.

Finally, an FPS that has some originality. I really hope it turns out great.


I might be the only one who cares about this, but I'm glad it got a T rating. Call me prude, but I think it's great to see a game come out, especially a shooter, that isn't bursting with swear words. I get enough of that outside video games.

hope we get an early demo for this as I'd like to feel how the game controls and plays before I decide.

Same. Also want to make the PC version doesn't suck, if not I'll get it on the 360.

Is it me, or does this game look a lot more cell-shaded than it used to? It's really noticeable in the gun models.

Eh, I dunno how original this actually is.  The technical aspect of it is pretty fantastic, but honestly, so what if it feels like a TF2 clone?

Did I miss something or does it really not show you _how_ to unlock abilities and items like the description for this movie says? Or is it just kill guys and hack computers/turrets?

@cwdawg1224: I was thinking the same thing.

I hope this turns out well and gets a following. We could really use an alternative to the real-world-based fare like CoD and Battlefield.

It's a good idea, but that it's a bad sign when trailers are all chopped up like that.  Looks like someone was trying HARD to hide what looked like wonky shooting to me.  Guess I'll go back to crossing fingers.

I really hope this game ends up being good. I like how it looks, but how it actually ends up coming together has me a little worried.

Unless Brink releases when the BF3 Beta begins, I might pick it up. Really digging the movement. The guns sound powerful and the 'bighead' art design is quite something.

Either way, hoping it gets a great reception critically and financially. The guys at splashdamage certainly do try and innovate and it looks like they're gonna deliver the goods.

@BUCK3TM4N:@SafetyFist: Don't worry you can actually get abilities that improve your hip fire stability so if you like that they give you the tools.Oh and the game isn't choppy watch the video on another site.It is GB's video player I think it is time they upgrade it.

It looks good thus far, but there's still something about it that bugs me to go not sure.

I like everything about the game from what I can see (mostly the interesting art style and graphics with the pretty slick looking UI), except for the shooting really looks bland as shit.

Do you pick your character's physical build in this game? Cause if so, why would you pick anything but the leanest character. Unless it will have an effect on your health.

I got quite a Team Fortress 2 vibe from the trailer. My biggest gripe about buying the game, is that this game feels like such a MP game, and I'm more of a SP kind a guy.

You do, and from what I understand it has impact on your speed/health ... so if you pick the leanest one you would be like the scout in TF2, the middle one would be more like a soldier and the heavy one like a ... heavy.

The more I see, the less I want it...

Maybe it was just because they were playing against crappy players/bad AI, but it seemed really boring.
