Anybody else playing this?
Got hooked on the demo and am still enjoying the full game.
So let's try and describe it. It's a 3v3 multiplayer vs game, all your usual modes are there, deathmatch,king of the hill etc.
It's a 3rd person game where cover features heavily, but before you click back you should probably understand the control scheme better. You don't actually run or walk anywhere, you fly.
You run and fly between cover, whilst in vover you look at the next piece of cover and click A on it, you character automatically flies over to it and goes into cover again. As you fly between cover you you move up and down and strafe a little, but you will always go to the cover you specified.
This video probably does a better of explaining it
Although you best option is to team up with a frind or 2 and give the 1 hour demo a good go.
As you fly between cover you can click on a different piece of cover and you will change direction and go towards that, there is something satisfying about navigating the maps without landing.
The maps themselves are usually very big corridors with several pieces of cover along them (sometimes on the celing or walls too) heading towards the central areas. The best maps allow you to go around the back and flank your opponents if they are camping behind cover.
You player can choose from many different weapons, which unlock in no particular order as you play, so far so I've yet to unlock a weapon that seems any less or more effective at killing the other team as the starting weapons.
You also can unlock and equip a perk that can change the way you play. (extra XP,extra health, more damage etc) and an ability (grenade, teleport, regen health, instant cooldown for team etc) which you can activate with RB.
It's a source engine game and has a semi cartoon look, but it still looks very polished and consistent throughout. Using the haggered source engine also means that it runs at 60FPS on the 360.
There is a persistent world map war thing going on (Think Chromehounds), when you start the game you choose your side and you are fighting over the countries of the world to be first team to obtain 12 pieces of dark matter. When this persistent war is won, it will reset.
I wasn't expecting much from this, I was thinking it was just another Nexuiz or Blacklight. I was totally wrong, it is a really original and innovative take on the online shooter.
