Okay, the British guy completely sold me on it (jump to 6:00 in the youtube video if you want to start with seeing how gameplay works), and I bought a copy on Steam. Off to check it out and see how much of the long weekend it consumes...

Yeah, that video just totally sold me.
ALSO, a purchase comes with 2 copies - one for you, and one for a friend. Seems incredibly interesting, and it's always nice to reward developers for doing something different.

Looks very interesting but the price is all wrong unless you can find someone to split it with.

Also...shit is hard.  It really needs a way to move and shoot at the same time. It also seems to reward turtling. |

How's the story mode? If I'm going to buy this, it'll be because of the cyberpunk storyline.

Not sure about the storyline, as I haven't played more than a couple of missions of the single-player campaign. I play this for the multiplayer, though. Fourteen hours played in two days, and counting.

I'd be happy to take someone's extra copy off their hands for the low price of "I'm a whore."
Winning gifter has been alerted via Steam. Three of you had sent messages though, so you're pretty much all awesome.

What, really?
If one of you doesn't have any friends who like that sort of game, I will be your friend/teammate/opponent.

But seriously. Just watched the youtube. I need this. At half price... what a silly pricing system.

Is it $23 for two? I'll take one if that's the case. Gift it to "Wrekker" (there are two, I'm the one with the strange animal as an avatar) and PM me your PayPal account. Not a US resident so anything else is sorta out of the question.

- I'm giving you this one for free.

Anyone have any particular tips? The maps where I am stuck with only riflemen are driving me nuts. They seem to only be good for holding positions and engaging from range, which sucks when you need to bust in a room.

I bought this. I have one other copy. If anyone wants to buy it ($10 au/us) let me know. Would prefer to do it with someone else in Australia for ease of the whole thing. Send me a pm and we can work it out.
Fun so far, looking forward to playing a bit more tonight.

Toss up one of the easy youtube links to the maps in question. |

SP, mostly. I am generally working my way through, but it's not always pretty and may take 2 attempts.

How's the story mode? If I'm going to buy this, it'll be because of the cyberpunk storyline. It's fun, but it is pretty bare bones. Would be pretty darn fun if they expand this next time and put in a more detailed story mode with mission choices, upgradable units, etc. I've actually been playing the story mostly as I feel a bit too simple to tackle the multiplayer much yet (though I did play one game, and win!). Looking through my unlocked maps thing I noticed I have two (Nashar: Extraction and Power Plant: Assassination) that I haven't finished. I didn't get a score on. The random level seeds can mean sometimes it is really easy and sometimes a bit harder, due to where your units get landed. I tried to get the youtube thing to work so I could give an example, but it failed to convert the video file. Xuri is up to 50 hours played now, btw.  |

Change of plans, I downloaded the demo, enjoying it as we speak. Then I'm going to buy with a friend going in on it with me. Everyone wins! |

I've had this and put it down for awhile, but it's still good, so...people can hit me up if looking for crazy multi play.

Yes. Honestly, that's the only thing that gave me pause when buying this game. It seems like a cheesy way to charge for two copies, so at 50% off it seems like a fair price rather than a great deal to me. |

 I bought this during the summer sale and just finished the single player campaign. Was fun. Fuuuuck that last level. |
