    that looks so awesome, what exactly is it though a mod for halflife 2? or a new source game?

    also if it is a mod what will I need to use it and when will it come out,

    WOW it looks like a ghost in the shell/mgs4 version of counter strike so awesomeness



    EDIT: so i think its a hl2 mod and they set up servers and released the client but they haven't told you how to play it, if you figure out how well then good for you, I WANT THIS MOD SO BAD

    Heh, IMO nothing can beat HL2 mods like Dystopia. http://www.dystopia-game.com/. Especially ones that are "Cyber-Punk" inspired. It was saddening for me to see that not many people still played it after awhile.

    Probably one of the most polished mods I have EVER played on the Source engine.

    Wow, looks like Rainbow Six meets HL2...definitely getting on this. I enjoy Insurgency and such, but for me, 1.6 does it :) Hopefully it's a quick dl, I'll give it a whirl this morning.

    I started working on a photoshop project, took me an hour and I just got done and was about to go print it. A really good sign that was severly photoshoped for a group at our hotel.

    I went to unplug my power cable to move my laptop to the printer and the computer crashed. I figured no big deal as I already saved the file, but it got corrupted anyways! I guess if the file is open in photoshop even though it was saved it can be messed up. I cant seem to recover it at all :(

    So thats what took my game time. I think when I get off work in an hour I am going to go for a long mountain bike ride then come home and try out SF4 online.

    Computer crashed because I was overclocked to 2.7ghz and didnt think that it wouldn't work in battery mode. So its semi my fault but sucks the same no matter how you slice it.

    Like I said, if you want a polished mod try Dystopia out. It really plays like a full retail game.

    hmmm well i tried dysopia and I have to say it seems more solid but i dont like the "run and gun" style of gameplay and I like neotokyo's graphics better

    bottom line

    neotokyo = tactical gameplay, awesome graphics, medium number of bugs and glitches

    dystopia = run and gun gameplay, solid, minimal bugs and glitches (plays like a retail game), graphics seem almost like ut2004

    Well, I haven't played it in awhile. But I reinstalled it yesterday. I remember it was pretty cool with the class system and the plugins with thermal/sound vision. The graphics weren't terrible either, but I haven't played it in a good year or so. You think you'll play either one in the future?

    Right now the game is still in alpha. I'll wait until it's final release before I play it again. There is way too much imbalance in the "force" if you know what I mean.

    I like it a lot
    red dragon whats your steam username so I can add you

    I think they are working right now on a lot of fixes
    One main point they made before it was released was the awesome soundtrack of it, They are currently selling a neotokyo soundtrack, but you may have noticed there is barely any music in the game, I have heard that there was some kind of problem and that they are fixing it so there will be music, that would be awesome

    going to go play it again right now, I love the neotokyo map themes

    Its a mix, I have been in two scenarios. Somebody I beat about 2/3 games and the guys that beat me every game.

    I have not really fought somebody exactly my level yet.

    I have not tried ranked match or championship mode yet, probably better players there.

    Its a given that I am not going to be a top player, games been out for over a year in the arcade, and for months on 360/PS3 and also lots of pro fighters & joystick users.

    Im a total noob with a joystick and have not really played a fighter seriously in years, and never played SF4 before.

    This looks fun as hell.

    Ghost in the Shell meets Counter-Strike. I'l be sure to get this when I have the chance.

    To those playing it already, is the "control" of the weapons similar to Counter-Strike Source?

    I downloaded the installer via torrent and now when I want to run the installer file it just says that the type of file is "file" and it asks me to choose a program to open it. Did I do something wrong and have to redownload it?
