ARENA SHOOTER REVIVAL "" REFLEX ""

I am creating this thread because as a fan of the game and genre, i feel this needs all possible attention it can get. Also since the devs don't have the possibility to advertise it really, i'm spreading the word.

If you want us to have fastpaced PC arena shooters once again, support this awesome game now.

"Reflex is a competitive Arena FPS that combines modern tech with the speed, precision and freedom of a 90s shooter."

If you didn't experience classic arena FPS gameplay, you should immediately reclaim all those unwasted years by being part of Reflex!

I really want these guys to be successful since they are Australian. Its not very often an Australian studio gets to have some success.

But it looks like they are too far from their goal(Unless if they get a sudden influx of backers at the end like usual). They're also on Steam Greenlight.

I hope for best, currently installed Quake Live and would like to see graphics improvement since the only thing you do in the game is run and gun.

20$ is excellent price for improved graphics but I'm afraid not everyone would be willing to pay that price since you've got the same game for free.

it should be an optional upgrade that maintains full compatibility with the rest of the game. isn't that what free to play is all about? optional paid cosmetic changes?

It doesn't play like QL. The physics and movement are way different.

True.

There is some point that you're right, the most similar experience to that vid is playing CS 1.6 on Surf Ski 2 map with all that bunny hop - it really reminds me the free style that you could do in Surf Ski 2, I dig it.
