Activates on STEAM.  Not the super greatest game in the world but for $10 I picked it up. 

And plus.... Dedicated Server support!

p.s. $5 shipping, but purchaes over $25 gets free shipping.  I bought a power supply for my old laptop.

Nice find.  You know a game isn't doing too hot when its price just DROPS like that soon after being released :P  (See: Duke Nukem Forever which has already dropped to $40)

The game did launch with issues, and was given unwarranted poor reviews.  Its not a spectacular game by any stretch but it didnt deserve the reviews it got.

Its not a $50 game, but I've certainly wasted more than $10 on things that could be considered a bigger waste of time.

If it has a dedi, ill get it!  Maybe just not on launch day (see homefront fiasco).

Bumping this thead.

Its FREE this weekend and on sale.  Pretty much giving everyone a demo.  $5?  Come on.  You cant beat that.  I still have the boxed copy from Amazon when I first made this thread.

DEDICATED SERVERS!!!

Its like a mashup of UT3/Battlefield.  A decent mix of deathmatch style play and a little stratedgy.

I also wonder if the devs fix all the bugs with this kind of move.  Maybe they're doing anything they can to get people to play the game.  And just maybe theyll spend $5 on it.

What werent you impressed with?  Even at $5 if the game was maybe a 5 out of 10 type game it would still be worth it.

The game play is fun.  The graphics are nice.  Requires teamwork.  Multiple objectives.  And most importantly.... DEDICATED SERVERS!!  For $5 sounds like a no brainer.

Perhaps you were playing with mouse smoothing on and the tight default FOV.  Both of which can be fixed in 60 seconds  with:

If anyone else wants to give it a shot during the free weekend I setup a dedi.  Let me know if you're interested.
