Do you like FPS games? Have you ever wanted your own personal set of ballistic armor + jetpack + chaingun?

The game takes a little while to get used to, the concept of a "Z-axis First Person Shooter" is weird at first. But once you figure out some of the physics tricks, and 'skiing' (your jetpack reduces impacts and keeps you around a foot off the ground in idle when on .... combined with a huge leap, and then _down_ thrusters... and DAMN you can build up some speed).

It's like somebody let Bart Simpson design a Space Marine's kit.

Who's up for some training?

Good God! Seeing those screen shots and hearing a brief description of the gameplay makes me want to cut my hair and enlist. Unfortunately, I have severe lag issues with muds, so I can see this game being basically unplayable for me. Looks awesome. Kill a few for me.

Yeah, did that.  Still no activation email, sadly.  Looking into it.

This is...FUN.  Just played a quickie to figure out the controls.  Acting like a total n00blet.  :lol:

Which server?  I'm going by Sigma.
