I like the art direction of the game (sort of Final Fantasy VII meets ), and the MMO shooter sounds cool, but I'm already spoiled by Gears of War (and Clancy games). I don't really enjoy run and gun games anymore. I was never a huge Halo fan because it just seems like twitch gaming; fire, focus, jump, run.

Yes, a giant bag of 'meh'.

We've played this before - UT2004. Run-n-gun is definitely wearing thin, hence the focus on vehicles now. Huxley's MMO twist may save it, but not if the gameplay is rehashed. Makes me wonder if UT2007 will even be much of a hit.

Reminds me of how action movies of the '80's disappeared - people wanted something more interesting and challenging. Action isn't a bad thing - action all the time, is.

Lets put this in societal terms. Constant action makes the gamer look like a simpleton. If all you are these days is an Unreal junkie, you are regarded as...well...less than intelligent.

Enter the self-proclaimed "thinking man's games".

I mostly agree with the other commenters, but to be fair to the game, we have no idea how the actual gameplay is. This trailer was obviously edited for maximum action, and maybe that's what the marketing team thought would appeal to people. There do seem to be vehicles and the maps seem very expansive, which is nice.

Disappointing video - especially in light of recent releases (GoW / RS:V).

At least there's a few more months of development still to go for some needed improvements.

I have to agree, I'm not getting what's wrong with this game. The video impressed me, even though I kept waiting for it to completely suck. For a moment there I thought it was it was going to be like Gods and Generals.

But then again, I've never heard of this game and this is the first time I've witnessed any gameplay.

I agree, looks like UT2004.

However, I would add that I really enjoy some of the UT2004 Invasion RPG servers. I could imagine a similar FPS-MMO working on a larger scale. What the video lacks, as the poster states, is any indication of being an MMO -- no teamplay, no RPG screens, no communication or interaction with other players.

WOW, you just killed santa claus for me, i was pimping this game as much as you were when you first read about the potential. The graphics i've seen before look 1000 times better then this video. This looks like SWG or something OLD. My Dreams are dashed forever!

# 6. This game just fell from my most wanted list like a sack of $#!%.

Wait, what, you were wishing for a sack of $#!%?

I'd really like to see some of the much hyped MMO aspect of the game instead of fast-paced run-and-gun action. The physics seemed nice though they are pretty much a requirement these days.
