i'm not going to get my hopes up (never again, thanks brink)

hope it's fun/popular enough to compete in when it's fully released :3

I have more hope in unreal

rip reflex?

Game's been in development for months/years, but it's only being worked on by 2gd and one coder. I have the utmost faith in 2gd and am sure the game will be great, but I don't know that the audience exists for the game and no players, no game.

I am stoked for this. 2gd seems to put a lot of thought into the game and I trust him to make it fun.

I really hope this gets released and takes off, but skill-based games seem to be more of a niche thing. Although with 2GD's "esports" connections there could be hope.

believe in 2gd

I BELIEVE. But seriously, didn't know he was still working on this, what a guy.

Wingman thing sounds awesome.

Finally, a viable position for my bench-riding abilities!

Also, if you watch the whole thing, the ideas he has for this game are really top notch. If he is able to pull it off, this will be an incredible game with everything we like about FPS games. Made as a spectator sport, made for skill, made with new ideas about how to approach weapon and power-up usage. Very exciting. Just hope he can pull it off.

What makes me excited for this game is how much attention he is paying to movement. Between the different physics for each robot and the different abilities, it seems like there is going to be a lot of variety in different styles movement. That's something you don't see very often with fps'.

I'm liking the variety of different breeds of dueling characters you can play. Makes things interesting, will take a lot of playing with all characters to know the most optimal decision given the situations at hand. More playing, more things discovered, higher the skill ceiling grows; overall good for an eSport. It's clearly got the competitive gamer in mind, and I trust 2gd to do it well. But will it have enough features to keep it newbie friendly, and give us the resources to improve? PUG system (I heard him say matchmaking, so I guess it's so), demos, scrim-finder for team games? Not every quake player is still interested in quake, and the population for arena shooters is pretty much at an all time low. I wonder how he'll handle the first wave of players upon public release? I can guarantee that there will be a significant portion of players who haven't even touched an fps that will come in, get stomped by the experienced FPS players, then denounce the game for being imbalanced.
It's early to tell, but another issue that arises is performance. Did he honestly admit the game runs on par with CS:GO? Boy, that's as ass-backwards as you can get if he were trying to sell the game. Hopefully that gets sorted out along the way.

looks pretty fun

#14: I remember him saying stuff about making it welcoming to both brand new players and Quake veterans. I don't remember (if he said) specifically how, but it does seem to be something he has considered.

game looks really cool

it's not dead yet, the developer is just busy

If only it would become popular.

I trust 2gd has some idea about how to make a popular esport. It also sound like he wants to have most of the features that Dota has.

I honestly don't think a skill gap between newbies and veterans is a big deal as long as there is skill based matchmaking. I remember playing ns2 with newbs and they fucking loved it. Put that same group in the same server as a good skulk, and they'd have no fun at all.

Forum has been launched, with both 2GD and "FireFrog" (coder) answering questions

Wing man sounds like it will inevitably turn into a support class. A lot of great ideas. I would love to try out a class with TF2 physics.

now come on

this looks like more a straight up quake 3 clone (which is fine by me). Hopefully it's not a flop like warsow. I'm just glad that people are pushing for arena shooters to come back tbh.
