    Game just came out on Steam, read some good things about it other than there aren't too many people playing it right now, so I decided to check it out.  It's a 3rd-person team-based shooter that's surprisingly fast and fluid, especially for a cover-based game.  The shooting mechanics are also quick and accurate, people go down fast instead of soaking up bullets like some OTHER cover-based 3rd person shooters I know of, and the hit detection actually seems really good so far.  There are a decent amount of weapons, skills and customization to play around with as well.

    Here's a quick little vid from the devs:

    As I said, not toooo many people playing right now but there were a bunch of full servers, so it's not horrible.  Seems like this game is in danger of flying under the radar, though.. but as a pretty fresh take on MP shooters, I could see it having a decent-sized community once word of the game gets around.

    I agree sir. I love how it doesn't take itself serious but it almost seems like it does. Pretty antiquated sense of humor. Bite!

    I speak the truth, the game won't last 6months.

    That's very possible, but it won't have been because of the gameplay.  Niche MP titles don't seem to thrive very well in general.  I'm thinking about Red Orchestra 2 and Nuclear Dawn as well.

    Looking at it to, it looks way to much like loadout which is a f2p in beta

    It's not really like that, and there isn't nearly as much weapon customization as Loadout.  It's more like Gears of War or Rainbow Six: Vegas at three times the pace

    Still, it basically another cartoon styled areana shooter. That ship has long sailed, and there are tons of f2p ones

    I'm not really sure if I understand your point.  Do you play games for how they look, or how they play?  It's a cover-based team-centric shooter, and the only other ones I've played on PC are RB6V2 which has like five people from Mexico still playing it and Ghost Recon Online which wasn't really any fun.

    Gameplay-wise, this game is very different from most MP shooters I've played.

    I watch Biscuit's video and it looked pretty fun. If it had a large and active Australia community, I'd play it, however I doubt that will ever be the case.
