When it first started I thought it was going to be another gaytacular Grand Theft Auto clone.


But damn did I smile big when that guy stepped back JUST as a car nearly took off his head. And all those crazy lookin car chases. Like Blue Brothers.


Also, WOW, what a novel idea: an MMO that DOESN'T need patches and mods and has nice graphics right out of the box! I am shocked!


Only way I could see to improve this is the ability to attach rockets to things. People, cars, objects.

I would be a garbage can knight. With a trusty can as my steed flying through the town. Playing loud obnoxious music over the mic.

My God.


It would be beautiful.

Did you actually get an email saying they turned you down or have they just not replied yet? Cause i sent my application months ago and heard nothing so if you haven't got an actualy reply they might just be saving yours for a later wave of invitations.

A friend of mine and I had an idea about something like this a long time ago, but we didn't think it was possible because of slow connection speeds and 64 Megabyte AGP video cards. I can't wait for this to come out!

I remember reading a preview of this on PcGamers and i was like ''but who the hell would play as the enforcer?'' and then read the same word over there.
it's a nice things it coming to console too, my pc isn't really for the gaming generation

it sucks but thats only because its a crappy game, the fees are only a small part of why it sucks

If you guys could elaborate it would be swell because seeing the gameplay previews tells me the polar opposite of what you're saying.

I'm a bit disappointed, I probably wont get because of the fees, but if the game sucks anyway then whatever, although it looked good.

1: If no one from the other faction opposes you, all you do is run from point to point pressing "F". If someone DOES oppose you, you have to kill them, and THEN go from point to point pressing "F" and occasionally killing them.

2: driving mechanics are off a bit. Lag makes it really hard to steer and NOT run over people.

3: Sometimes that system will match up 1 person against a group. You can call for backup, but a lot of times, no one will come to help you.

also the gunplay is horrible. all the money went to the customization and network I'm sure

Post by: Daveb0t on June 15, 2010 12:17 PM
when i last played the beta, you couldnt kill people with cars, and you couldnt kill people in cars

SO when any missions came about, it was all about stalling the one guy going somewhere with my awful and laggy car, then waiting for him to get out near the cap point so i could try and kill him when he got out

also alot of the customization fields weren't up yet
