Ultra competive game, if you are a casual gamer you just won't win.. If you have a long history from quake, unreal tournament, CS or any of those games you will probably have a jolly good time.

But again this game is not about having fun its about suffering and crying bitter man-tears when your opponent crushes you 5 seconds in to the round on his quest for a spawn-spam frenzy of glorious proportions, its about being so much of a coward that your opponents flame you over in-game chat in a furious nerd-rage.

Same developer as Trackmania and all those other mania games we love so much, Nadeo.

Still in closed beta, but you can pre-purchase and get access to the beta.

I dunno, I first want to see the final system requirements before I make up my mind. It's a definite yes if I can get it to run on my laptop, but I'll need to see.

looks good.. more like a new part from unreal tournament then anything new.. i saw the video and have to say, na thats not a game for me ^^ u need to much accuracy to be good, and i dont have it... ill play quake with the motto "JUST SHOT JUST! SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT" and may ill hit sometimes anyone xD

the concept is nice... but for me a not a try worth ;)

Do tell how it went.
This got my attention.

Ya i will definately try this out because i played a shitload of css and if this is anything like it then i will purbubbly like it

You should be thinking more Quake than CSS.

Doesn't look like it would be that great for me. It just doesn't look like it's for me. And also the one mode that I've seen so far (1vs3, lasers vs rockets) does not look balanced.
