Would not add to my friends list. Dunno if you just haven't chosen an in-game name yet or what.

"It does everything the original game did and more."
Actually, i can't agree with that. The game has way less gadgets and vehicles.

BobbyDigi

yeah... I created an account but the initial download is still going. I've yet to be in game.

Oh man, this review makes me want to play so badly, but I'm not very good at going fast. Any other slowbies getting good at fast?

CB

Are there roles on the team for non-fast players? because I don't want to go fast.

Flag defense.

I cheated on my Lent commitment a tiny little bit last night. I'll be back on in April, I think I could get into this with a little practice.

primesuspect

Flag defense and base repair.

CB

I could give it a shot, then.

I'm getting alright at going fast. I'm also getting okay at shooting people who are going fast. I think you'll get into it okay. I would recommend changing your rocketpack/jump to spacebar and your ski to either M2 or Shift. Before you even start playing. And then ignore the popups that say press Space to ski. Trust me on this.

You can actually get a TON of points if you stick to base repair. Watching the generator, keeping turrets/sensors online, and upgrading the defenses scores huge bank, and it REALLY helps the team. Not enough players do it.

I don't know who you are. Get out of my house.

[VVN] No.
[VGTA] Aww, that's too bad!
[VGTW] When will you learn?!

This game is so F'ing Awesome, it is ridiculous !
It is the Best Multiplayer FPS I have played in a looong time.
It is easy to Play but difficult to Master, but once achieved it gives you a rush that is incomparable !

Give the game a go, dont get discouraged if you Die a lot or can't Kill anybody on your first few runs. Keep at it for a while and I guarantee that you will never leave !

I like defense. I can stick by the base too.

It's what I've been doing mostly, but you can move so fast that making a quick pass around the map isn't really an issue. I found that the soldier was a really good balanced class to start with. You're light enough to learn to move, but you can survive and hit shit enough that you feel somewhat effective even when you're just skating around the map like a tourist.

Wait... It's not on Steam? Nevermind then.
