Still processing here over 3 hours worth of Gameplay I streamed tonight, flew by they is so much to learn and do its madness. best of all the community seem decent so far in my early amount of game time.

 
Sort of reminds me of a very old Sony game called Infantry Online, but with base building added. I did watch a couple of vids of this last week, might be tempted to pick it up and see if its any good.
 
Bought it this morning...its actually really very good but it requires A LOT of co-ordination. People to not just go around fighting but to actually gather resources and supplies as well etc. I also see a lot of potential for griefing and being a jerk , locking vehicles, team killing etc. I suspect that it will be a game which will live or die by its userbase. If there are enough people who want to play the game seriously then it will be very good, if there are a lot of people who just want to muck about then I can foresee it being a very frustrating experience. Might well be one of those games which is brilliant while its "niche" but becomes awful the more mainstream it becomes.

Enjoyed it though, will play more for sure, at least until the userbase spoils it :)
 
I've got this guys so another +1 here. It's great simple fun but you can really get your teeth into it. I've been playing support to a degree, ferrying people from HQ to the frontlines alongside supplies and base building. Would recommend getting involved! As mentioned above though... highly reliant on your team mates and a griefer can ruin things pretty fast.

A mate was telling me about this. Sounds like it could be fun.
If it was free I'd probably try it, but not paying £13.50 for it.

£13.50 is a fair price and they is well enough game time here to make that very worth it..
Honestly £13.50 quid its hardly breaking the bank! Ok even if you didnt like it you get two hours steam game time for refund anyways.

I only just started learning about creating all the weapons and vehicles.

Tonight is the first time I played with a group of friends and I after say the game has become even more enjoyable.
Teaming up and going out doing weapons runs for the front line.
Then going on a epic shoot out to take over a enemy FOB just pure fun.

Try and team up guys
