Anyone picked this up? Has team-oriented game play but it's PVE only and no PVP. Small maps. 6 players max per stock maps. You can level all 6 classes up to level 5 -- Medic whores friendly. And you get to kill zombies. Only $20 on Steam

Been gaming this for a month now..

You didn't tell me there was no cross hairs!!!!!

It's like L4D meets Aliens meets a Tool video....sort of.

This game scares me.....

I felt it was weird at first w/o the crosshair, but after awhile you get use to it and accept it as it making the game more challenging and "realistic" haha

It's on sale for $17.99 with new weapons and a map. It's nice and cheap. Looks like there's some nice gore. Any thoughts?

WOW I thought you've been playing MP this whole time..

SP on any game can't compare to the MP experience imo..I actually haven't even play the SP one -- not that it is any different from the MP version besides mob count. SP is the same game with less mobs simply b/c you're solo'ing vs having more mobs in the game due to having other players in MP.

As for the MP, I'm max out at lvl 5 for all 6 classes.

And yes, the free DLC came out yesterday..2 new weapons and a new map. Can't beat that for $17.99 (is it on sale? you saved $2 then. woot). I gotten my $20 worth the past 3 months.

Graphics -- it's based on the Unreal 2.5 engine and looks pretty sharp. esp on highest details. Gore -- lots of it with blood splattering and limbs flying about depending on what limb(s) you blew off and from what direction; the physics from that aspect feels pretty real.

Maps -- 5 stock maps + 1 new map from DLC. The game was designed to only allow up to 6 players in MP. The stocks maps are designed well with team cooperation in mind. You'll find different places, nooks and choke points to setup a defensive position as a team. Some servers are hacked to allow more than 6 players. i.e. I was on a 30 man servers last night and it was complete chaos as the maps are too small to allow room for roaming and perks/lvling does not work on hacked servers. Custom maps -- plenty out there and most of them work for perks/lvling.

Classes -- there are 6 different classes you can choose from and all 6 plays differently I might add, especially when you play the maps on harder difficulty such as hard or suicidal. The stock maps requires teamwork to succeed -- again usually applies on the harder difficulty setting.
(I bring up the difficulty differentiation b/c most noobs are playing on easy/normal as they are new to the game and/or want to just grind to lvl up their classes. Normal settting servers usually does not require a great amount of team coop. The hard setting servers are where you will find the more skilled players in the lvl 3-5 range. Suicidal servers are where the l33t kids play and like in WoW, you must bring a balanced makeup of different classes for each map to succeed. i.e. Tanks, support classes, and healers!

Overall, I had a great time lvling up all 6 classes but what I enjoyed the most is the team co-op aspect of it. For only 20 bux and with free DLC, you can't beat that.

Thanks Roland and Rocket! =D I think I may shell out the ~$20 then. I have some extra money left over since I returned my 2nd copy of Wolfenstein. ;x

Yeah I know the MP is better. I just thought I'd get a little practice before I embarrassed myself playing with other peeps.

Tag me up..I'll help you lvl up.
