+1 for focusing the map on Spain. 
Unfortunately, I still don't know what the game is about, there are guns, as in 90% of games, though, so definitively it's a game.

"Indie hipsters gonna hate" is the lesson that can be learned from reading these comments.
 
Just a big stream of "ALL SHOOTERS ARE AWFUL."

Now, if it was a shooter IN Scribblenauts, that would shift some paradigms (can you even pluralize paradigm? Oh well).
 
You'd be running around shooting dudes, and you'd write "turret" and *poof*, a turret. Then you'd write *Cthulhu* And he'd appear and man the turret, and you'd win by a number so large, mortal minds break when they think of it.

Here's hoping 5th Cell doesn't go defunct after this game.

Not to sound all negative, but the market for competitive first person shooters is pretty crowded these days, even in the downloadable space.

from the trailer it looks like an online persistent Risk meets Vanquish - which is kinda cool :)

Looks like it could end up to be primarily a real time tactics game, it kinda has that vibe.

Good thing it's a third person shooter with completely new mechanics then!

I wish this kind of thing would take off, like big. With the cover based button movement the tactics would be pretty neat to work with. Not to mention the world wide aspect. I just doubt it'll happen

Looks like a cover-based shooter with some X-Com elements thrown in?

hybrid is a pretty fitting name :D heres what I got: 
UI - Crysis 
Art Style - Halo (the characters looked like elites and it totally had the pseudo wire-frame bold outlines on edges from ODST!) 
Gameplay - Gears of War with "insert squad based game here" mixed in 
"Multiplayer Redefined" - Combat Evolved!

The persistent World War part is ripped straight from Chromehounds multiplayer, which is a game from 2006.
