It looks pretty, but not compelling. I guess there's a few gadgets, but mostly it looks like CS in fancy near-future Japan.
However if it costs $0, I have no real reason not to give it a chance.

Watching the great trailer, I also thought it looks outstanding, but not too interesting or fun. Still, trailers rarely give you a complete view on something, and I'll surely try it out as soon as it's released, anyway. |

Looks like it could be worth a shot...
Dystopia already occupies the position of "super-awesome futuristic tactical team-based Source game", though. It'd be pretty hard to top that.

I watched the trailer and browsed their website for a bit but I couldn't find the all-important list "Why this game is not Counter-Strike".

Yeah, I have no idea how it plays or if that's any good. I just love their concept art so much that I an forgive them anything else.

It probably plays just like their old Neotokyo UT2K4 mod.

The music is ace. Everyone should play it if only for the music.

Yeah, the music is really nice. Probably have to order the OST. Been looking forward to this for some time now. Nice that the release seems to be so close now. Then we'll see if it's any better than Dystopia. It looks pretty, but not compelling. I guess there's a few gadgets, but mostly it looks like CS in fancy near-future Japan. Mostly it looks like something out of Ghost in the Shell, yay! Which actually was one of their inspiration. |

They had a Fuchikoma thing in the background in one screenshot, too. |

Uhh yeah I'm pretty sure they made a ghost in the shell HL2 mod with balls! Holy crap this thing looks awesome. Check out the preview by one of the planet half-life guys: http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Previews.Detail&id=83lI remember hearing about this mod a few years ago, but I thought it just sort of got lost. I think part of what makes it different than TF2 or Counter-Strike is the heavy use of Rainbow Six style strategy mixed with heavy action. From the review and the tech details, it sounds like the 3 classes are pretty simple, light, medium, and heavy, but the cloaking stuff makes it really interesting. Also I'm a huge ghost in the shell fan so I will definitely be playing this a few times even if it sucks. I still play my copy of Shogo for the awesome robotech missiles. |

Shogo may have the worst character models ever for the on-foot guys, but god damn did I love that game. It was the first "giant robots" game in a long time that felt like the Japanese cartoons rather than all slow and lumbering. |
