    this game kicks ass! whats the deal with a dumbed down Unreal?? Unreal was just simple arena point, click, kill... Arena fighting is arena fighting always will be, just like driving will be driving and fighting will be fighting. and the short jump (flight) you get is good it stops just running and jumping sideways in lil circles until one of you is dead. Robots and tanks are also cool. this game kicks ass!

    Looks like a dumbed down Unreal Tournament or somthing. Whats the deal with jumping 100 yards in the air? Robots? Bah!

    Looks run-of-the-mill.

    Honestly, this game looks as good if not better than Unreal Turnament, seeing as how it's for the 360 and unreal isnt. The game play looks smoothe and the load-outs look awesome, I really like how customizable they are and that you can swap mid battle by calling in those munition pods. I'm really looking forward to this game.

    And the gameplay especially at the beggining, which is the actual gameplay (how you gonna play it most of the time) is similar to Unreal Tournament a game dating over a decade ago so this is crap presented as candy.

    Pffff "take combat to a new level" they sound like politicians. Watch the video good. It got nothing we haven't seen.

    Hmm, i don't know...It's looking like one of those frantic multiplayer Battlefield clones, mixed with a dash of Halo, stirred with a Frontlines spoon, garnished with a sprig of Quake Wars and flung in to your eyes by an insulted woman at the bar.

    im impressed the deaths look a little like republic cammando but the game play looks like halo....... a little...

    @81shoter

    no that movie is actually called district 9. its basically about aliens coming to earth, friendly ones i might add, but the humans segragate them because they're racist towards the aliens. nothing like this game.

  • 81shoter

    Posted Jul 30, 2009 9:11 am GMT

    Is this based on the movie that is also called "section 8" thats is coming out pretty soon?? Anybody know????

  • see-no-good

    Posted Jul 28, 2009 2:39 pm GMT

    it looks good but it looks similar to halo in gameplay

  • blazewide

    Posted Jul 27, 2009 11:01 am GMT

    looks promising

  • captaink24

    Posted Jul 27, 2009 10:52 am GMT

    Tribes was one of my all-time favorite games, so if this game can capture some of that magic, I'll def be looking into it

  • dizz25

    Posted Jul 27, 2009 2:53 am GMT

    Hmm, could go either way. Either loads of fun or way too derivative. Plus I'm used to iron-sights now, a shooter without it just doesn't feel precise enough, so if i'm gonna consider this for my collection it had best be as frenetic as Left 4 Dead.

  • TerrorToaster

    Posted Jul 26, 2009 7:55 pm GMT

    This looks awesome.

  • MurderMode

    Posted Jul 26, 2009 6:58 am GMT

    this looks half rubbish, half entertaining. They need to cut out some of the crap like falling from the sky and landing on your hands, I know it's supposed to be cool but it comes off so try-hard it hurts to watch

  • lazybear79

    Posted Jul 25, 2009 4:13 am GMT

    Looks like it could be good. We'll have to wait and see.

    A ripoff?? Seriously, what fps isn't a "ripoff" of a previous title? The first fps is the only original. Every game since has taken those core values that made it great and built upon them. Try playing the game before you pass judgment.

    quite good

    @Mr_Silent_D
    check out some other gameplay videos because GameSpot's gameplay video sucked

  • supertegwyn

    Looks Good.

  • Mr_Silent_D

    Posted Jul 17, 2009 6:43 pm GMT

    looks like it could have some good potential gonna have to work on the gameplay though

  • Un4givingAsault

    Posted Jul 16, 2009 10:34 pm GMT

    could be cool

  • aduana69

    common a thank will break the bridge its a matter of physics

  • iceberg82

    Posted Jul 16, 2009 6:47 am GMT

    looks cool certainly, but thats what the promo videos point are. Tribes definitely came to mind when i saw this. We will just have to wait and see how it ultimately plays :/ If this game was from valve I might have higher expectations

    @ EliminatoRss
    That is exactly what i was thinking. Tribes but with single player campaign mode.

  • EliminatoRss

    Posted Jul 14, 2009 12:50 pm GMT

    looks like complete ripoff of tribes

  • steelhorse02

    Posted Jul 13, 2009 6:58 pm GMT

    awww.... it doesnt look that promising

  • swamptick

    Posted Jul 12, 2009 7:40 am GMT

    Doesn't look that great to me.

  • metal_head159

    Posted Jul 11, 2009 8:19 am GMT

    the graphics looks ok but i think the gameplay will cover it all

  • SAROMON

    Posted Jul 11, 2009 3:24 am GMT

    This looks fantastic!

  • MoeTheMammoth

    Posted Jul 10, 2009 7:05 pm GMT

    Alittle faster than halo and a little slower than UT. This could be good

  • ZIROPC360

    Posted Jul 7, 2009 4:05 pm GMT

    Just watched this again, and really hope it takes off.

  • Killa-Playa23

    The combat reminds me a little bit of Unreal Tournament

  • Richy0170

    Posted Jul 7, 2009 6:44 am GMT

    I was just thinking similar to halo, but looks like a lot better can't wait

  • OhHades

    Posted Jul 6, 2009 8:20 am GMT

    I saw this game at E3, and couldn't stop playing. I'm psyched for the release!

  • sun_rider95

    Well you right LT Snake very similar to halo but what if it's better

  • LT_Snake

    Posted Jul 6, 2009 2:59 am GMT

    Looks very similar to halo

  • Gelugon_baat

    Posted Jul 5, 2009 9:04 pm GMT

    I LOVE the melee takedowns. Hopefully, this will be implemented in-game rather just included in pre-rendered movies.

  • Gelugon_baat

    Posted Jul 5, 2009 9:03 pm GMT

    In any case, an opportunity for innovation is introducing and tweaking a variety of factors that influence the landing of troops. It has been mentioned earlier that there are automated anti-aircraft guns that make landing close to them rather dangerous. I wonder if there are other factors, like weather, orbital battles that put pressure on pre-dropping, etc.

  • Gelugon_baat

    Posted Jul 5, 2009 9:01 pm GMT

    I would like to know the backstory for the reason of the phasing out of troop transports that actually make insertions, which apparently have been replaced by orbital transports that just dump their load into the atmosphere.

    Perhaps anti-aircraft or anti-orbital weaponry has grown so advanced that troop insertions close to the objective is no longer feasible?

    Rated "T" for "Violence" only. ESRB is getting lazy.

  • denolitions

    Posted Jul 5, 2009 5:48 am GMT

    do all shooters have to be dubbed a halo or a CoD rip-off? correct me if im wrong but i dont remember starting any halo or CoD game in space and jumping down onto a planet
