    I did and it was one of the worst game i played. I was disconnected from neraly every server i tried to join and when i firt got it it was very laggy. I than tried practice mode only to find out how boring this game was and the mouse is waaay to fast in game and way to slow in the menu. Rant finish over and out

    It's kind of fun when it does work. It doesn't have any connections issues for me, but it is a $15 game...therefore there really isn't that much gameplay. It really feels like a 3rd person clunky counterstrike, especially with the whole planting bombs mode).

    I'll throw in my two cents.

    - Server browser? Terrible. No idea what they were thinking when they implemented it in its current state.
    - Solo mode? More tutorial than offline-practice. The bots are a joke, and the game really is horrendously boring when you play by yourself.
    - Freekend? Definitely murdered their poor server system. I had the same issues trying to get into a game that you did, Satyrion.

    All that said! I liked the game. When you actually get into a multiplayer match (that's not usually an issue, given the accounts that I've read about how the game was before the Freekend) it really is an enjoyable experience. The basic gameplay is pretty...well...basic; but the sheer number of game modes do seem to make up for that. Animations are smooth, and while it's essentially ripped off half-a-dozen major games, there are a few original concepts that I found interesting. The main one being the "mobile spawn point" in the form of the totem that gets carried around.

    It's not a crazy complex game, but it does what it needs to in order to be worth the price. Well. The current $7.50 price, anyways :p From what I've read it sounds like the game isn't actually fully completed; apparently the devs are still very active in responding to feedback and tweaking/adding things. Who knows. It may be unquestionably great in a few months.

    For now, I'm holding off on it simply because the group I usually game with is half on Mac, and this particular title is PC-only for now.
