Has anyone heard of this game>? I think it sounds really cool and was wondering if it was worth the cash. Any feedback on this would be great.
Thanks

One of my friends was in the beta. He said the game was fun but lag played a big factor.

Since it is an FPS, lag makes a huge differance, and apperantly it's laggy.

Maybe the final version will be streamlined?

I been looking at this game and it seems really interesting, but like RBF said, if the game is laggy, that will break the game. Lag is always a killer for most online games, even when some are actually good (Ragnarok Online, Asheron's Call 2).

From what I've heard, it's just massively multiplayer Tribes 2, just not made by Dyanmix, and thus, not as cool.

...Asheron's Call 2 and RO ... good?
Those games are newbie mistakes.



ProTip: To damage your credibility, simply call any of the Phantasy Star games "massively-multiplayer."

RO had potential and would have been fun if the game didn't lag. AC2 was fun for the month I played to kill time for FFXI. I got into a nice alliance and had some fun, but the lag was really bad. It was the first MMORPG I actually had interest in for some time...until FFXI arrived.

I picked up yesterday, and Salad is right, the game is not all that laggy. It is a very good game, even though you can die a lot in the game so don't be surprised about that.

But all in all, the game is really fun. I enjoy it, and I suck at FPS's.
