So, have any of you tried this? It a Steam game, and its free to download. Its basically a top down view co op shooter. Me and my friends have been playing it online recently, and while it isn't anything huge, I think it is a great game considering it is free.
I recommend it.

I enjoyed it immensly until I got good enough to do Hard easily and wanted to move to Insane (or whatever it was, long time ago when it first came out). Only problem is that no one was interested in Teamwork on Insane, they all want YOU to do the Medicking or Hacking, so that they can be Jaeger with Two Vindicators.....
It got old really fast after that. Too bad the experiment failed, too. I owuld have loved to see some awesome campaigns in that, but since Valve wanted to see if a game could survive solely on user based content and it didn't.....

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying. |

If there was more content Valve put in, I would probably play it a lot more, but the 1 campaign it came with wasn't a lot.

Yeah, it needs more content. It's fun for a week or so though.

^ Pretty much agree. One campaign isn't enough.

It was a fun game. We spent a weekend playing it. I'd probably pay money for further campaigns.

Anybody interested in running through the campaigns a couple of times soon?
I started playing it for equipment idea's for my Skirmish game I am working on, and was wondering if anyone would like to join me.

I hate it when that happens... especially with a game that I'll have a sudden desire to play... I must have reinstalled Baldur's Gate 2 maybe 10 times on my current PC.
Maybe next time I log onto Steam I'll give the game a shot. Top-downs are pretty fun.
