I have mixed feelings about it. It seems like a really cool concept, and it was fun, but there are just so many issues. The score is just not inspiring at all. The graphics are a bit dated. The environments look alright but characters are bleh. There is also just the fact that it is so hokey and plot holey. I mean, if you aren't supposed to kill certain people, what stops the soldiers of the current time from killing them? How can the flow of history stay the same when you are running around during the Civil War with a fully automatic bullpup rifle? The controls aren't as tight as they could be, and the whole "active reload" thing just doesn't work right. If I miss it and have to wait longer, the character finishes, but then you just can't shoot or use iron sights for a few seconds.

It would just seem that it had a lot of potential, and while fun, the potential was largely squandered. Thoughts?

I think the game as a whole is a great idea with bad execution, pure and simple.

Ya I thought it was pretty funny when 30 of our guys and about 30-40 of them all ran at each other and all that spaced us out was a 10 foot rivine, and we all had bolt action rifles it was boring not having automatic or semi-auto guns :P

Great concept for a game, but the game isn't that much.
