$5 on 360, what
lol play with Windows Vista players on the Xbox cover
FYI it works on 7 to.
I like the crossplatform thing, more games should do this plox. Unite your audience.
But god damn if the demo wasn't bland and uninspiring.
I remember playing this on the 360 for a bit with Gamefly. Was pretty fun.
I remember the demo for this was like 75% of the real game, minus some maps. There was actually a community of people, me being one of them, that played the demo avidly for like a year. Shit was awesome.
imba

also wasn't this like one of the first few games to use GFWL?
Shit game in my opinion, bought it on xbox and we just got facerolled by the pc players all the time.

I'm pretty sure people still play it. I've been thinking about redownloading the demo.
Didnt the studio shut down the servers?
Ah, the days where Microsoft decided it was a great idea to crap out a few Vista exclusive games to entice people into buying their shitty OS.
Loved it. Had special feel to it somehow. I loved the special powers and shit. Glider+teleport
Elf + Teleport + Glider + Katana = Scout.
Shadowrun was amazing. I played it so much, but it's pretty much dead now. It was a sci-fi fantasy team-based Counter Strike, with awesome animations when you get shot out of the air. So much fun.
Does it still work? I heard that the devs shut down the servers.
I've just been playing with bots and i still find it fun
But no i haven't tested online.

Doubt you got steamrolled by PC players. The developers nerfed the accuracy on the PC weapons, and the PC players also are restricted to low mouse sensitivity. Xbox players have the advantage.

FASA Studios was shut down, but the servers are still up.
It still works since Microsoft hosts the servers.
Mouses With there own sensitivity
:science:

Also known as capped turning speed, which IMHO should be mandatory for FPS's regardless of platform. It's just better that way.

Well that's fucking shit, but necessary I guess. If they hadn't nerfed the accuracy it would be a fucking slaughter, a half decent PC player could take on an entire team of Xbox players and probably win, such is the precision of M+K.

no
Would be dozens of times better without the gimmicky game crippling cross-platforming
Where is the demo for PC?
This game was badass.
I didn't like the red team, though.
This looks fucking awful, Characters are clunky and unproportioned and the gameplay just looks like a watered down version of... Unreal.. It's like Counterstrike and Unreal tournament had a mentally disabled child.
Is there even a demo of this for pc?
No.
I remember them saying stuff like "You'll be able to be like a commander on your phone playing with PC and console players!"
