    Hello everyone,
    Just wanted to know if you knew about this game. It is available on Steam for the PC, and is described as being a class based third person shooter. So far the game received some pretty good reviews and it was stated that one could compare it to some sort of DotA style third person shooter with some Tower Defense mechanisms.

    I haven't tested it out myself, but its low price is quite attractive so I might give it a shot.

    Its really really fun! Its like TF2 with towerdefence with a little dota in the mix... if you have 2 really good teams its a fun game, but if you get stuck with a derp derp team who dont know what towers are then your going to have a boring time losing.... I am currently setting up a dedicated server for friends and stuffs but anyone on here is free to join!

    It's either ht or vicious to play together with :( One copy rawr!

    But Vicious is too busy lately... and I don't even see ht on steam anymore (maybe for a few seconds then he jumps into the drain never to be seen again).

    Perhaps I should find a random guy that catches my attention around here who's interested in it and gift it to him :x

    Give it to Vicious. He's been poor lately.

    Oh yeah, I turn off Steam friends because people constantly wanting to chat when I want to play. I know that's not nice, so maybe I'll turn it back on and be a nice guy again.

    edit: YAY apparently I got the beta items for playing in the beta a hour before the game came out

    I was thinking of buying this game, but then I realized I already own team fortress 2, so there wasn't any point for me to spend 15 dollars for another similar game :(

    I would like to have it if you haven't given it to anyone already.

    You don't have me on Steam yet for some reason...

    Yup, TF2 meets Tower Defense, with arguably a higher learning curve. I've played it a couple times so far (bought it a week ago) and I find it interesting, different and fun, but I tend to get my butt kicked by all the people that have been playing non-stop with many unlocks and custom classes under their belts.

    I need to see how my Vaio does with it. Being Unreal Engine 3.0, I expect good things performance wise. Unfortunately, MNC suffers from the texture load-in issue that so many other UE3.0 titles do >:|

    I bought it 3 days ago. It's a pretty fun game both single and multiplayer.

    I've always wanted to get TF2 but never got to buying it :-(. I would prolly lose all the time neway due to lots of people playing it since ages ago ha ha.

    Send it my way if you want, looks like a really fun TF-ish game I can get into early on :).
