Monday Night Combat is free to play on Steam this weekend

by David Hinkle on Mar 17th 2011 9:00PM

Looking for something to do on the cheap this weekend? Sure, you could go down to the lake to go swimming or hang outside the laundromat like you had planned, or you could boot up the old Compy 386 and play a free game!

Uber Entertainment's Monday Night Combat is free to play on Steam this weekend, until 1pm PT on Sunday, March 20. Additionally, if you like what you play and want to buy the game, it's 33 percent off ($10.04) on Steam until Monday, March 21 at 10am PT.

Now, we're not telling you what to do, but think about it: does the lake or laundromat have hot female assassins who can turn invisible at will? Yeah, we thought so -- and if that is the case, you've got bigger problems to worry about. We'd suggest talking to a realtor.

No, not the one who sold you the house in Assassintown.

That picture just screams DSG goddammit!

I liked that one David. Especially the Ass-ass-in-town part.

I swear, MNC looks more and more like Team Fortress 2 every time I see it.

There's the obligatory comment. Wasn't as fast as I expected, though.

@Schlecht That's because you're only looking at the art style. The game plays nothing like TF2.

@Schlecht
I thought that at first too, for the same reasons already mentioned. It's a class-based multiplayer shooter with graphics that look like TF2. I watched a video (only one so far, I'm downloading it now and then I'll try it myself) and it looks like a very good combination of TF2 and DOTA. It has different classes like TF2, and you escort bots to blow something up like you do in DOTA.

Is this game any good on PC?

@TaintedKane - I got to try it on PC for the first time last weekend at PAX East and it seemed to run pretty well. Fairly similar to the 360 version.

Anyone interested in a team-based game that's different should definitely check this out. Don't let the learning curve frustrate you, give it some time to get use to what you are supposed to do. And don't go into this game trying to only kill other players or trying to backstab everyone. This is an objective based game and you wont get anywhere by just trying to frag everyone. Kill bots, build turrets, escort your bots to their moneyball, and once you get a hang of what you are supposed to do, you wont be frustrated and you'll have fun with this game.

Laundromats are great places to pick up women.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze
And dispose of them too...
/gets coat

@Osnaz
Wow I have the worst choice of words. This isn't even funny, it's just plain offensive. Sorry to anyone offended.

@Osnaz

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't find your comment ofenssive at all.

You're talking about how you dispose the bodies of women you murder, right?

@Sam406
Yeah. I thought that might have been offensive after re-reading it. What a sadistic bunch of people you all are lol

Oh, huh.. I think I'll try this out then

They should make a prequel called "Saturday Morning Shoot-Out."

@Jovrick
saturday?
I thought Sunday came before Monday?

@Rizraz

It's a prequel to the prequel

@Rizraz
There would be a midquel called "Sunday Afternoon Skirmish."

Anything for a lucious Pitgirl.

Let's do this tiki style.

Hmm that's a nice idea for a promotion. Clean and casual.

David you can stop mashing refresh waiting for somebody to get your homestar reference.

I got the Homestar Runner reference.

I also got this game. $10 is a great price for a game I've already spent many hours on. Who cares if my laptop can't run it? Not me.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the game will deactivate itself just before Monday night?

@Esposch Actually, the free to play weekend will deactivate Sunday afternoon. The sale on the other hand lasts until Monday afternoon.

Crap, of course they put it on sale the weekend after I buy it from the Uber booth at PAX for $15. :( At least I got that cardboard tube samurai skin for the assassin.
