It suprised me at the level polish in this little title. I picked it up on steam sale because I was curious. Its the best small studio game I think Ive played. It reminds me a little bit of TF2 (critcal hits, class based, a few similar gamemodes) mixed with COD:BiB in 3rd person. There are multiple game types, variants on capture point, team death match, ctf and a bunch of others I havent played in other games.. All the game types seem to fit the maps very well, unlike in MW2 for example where anything but deathmatch is a joke (terrible placing of capture zones).

Each game the player gets rank and XP, which improve their Synergies and health regen. This promotes teamplay because you need to be within a close proximity to receive synergy from another player (think of it like an aura). Synergys include +damage , +armor, +crit chance, +accuracy.

There are 4 ****s each with a different play****and each get a special ability.

trapper - main sniper rifle, pistol sidearm
special - drop 2 bear traps which trap enemy players
+critical chance synergy

Gunslinger - pistol, no sidearm
Special - shoots really fast at the cost of accuracy called fanning
+accuracy synergy (less weapon spread)

Deputy - pump action shotgun, pistol sidearm
special ; can mark enemy players for extra damage and visability called "tagging"(I think)
+damage synergy

Blaster - double barrel shotgun, pistol sidearm
special - dynamite
+armor synergy.


The only negatives I have to say is no VOIP. This is a pretty bad omission in a team based 3rd person shooter.
There is no team scramble option, even after changing maps. If your team was getting crushed on the previous map, they still will after a map change.

^ These can be fixed in future patches. The devs seem quite dedicated to this game and seem to have made a lot of patches.^

And lastly, useless camping snipers.... this is a trait with all online games with sniper rifles though so I have gotten used to it :P

If you dont have this, then buy it on sale!

I was looking at this game, what is the player base like. How many servers and players playing, i read it has a low population.

Like Killing Floor after the last Steam Sale, one could expect the population to rise a bit after the next week. 8)

There wasn't much games when I played half an hour ago but it's worth all the money, really a great game. It's still 50% off

Bought it last night and just got around to playing it today, from what I've played so far, its pretty fun, and there is a significant amount of people playing, but I've had a hell of a time getting into games without the game randomly crashing.

500 players? I could barely see 50 at most, with only 1 dedicated server. No voice on characters (a wasted opportunity to give personality to the game), small blocky maps, most of the maps have a terrible design (like the one inside a mine), no anti-aliasing (make your eyes bleed), repetitive, laggy, terrible controls and no auto-sprint key (having to press shift and w all the time is annoying). Apart from these negative points, it's entertaining for a few hours, but it only make you wish you were playing tf2 instead.
