Shadowrun

Played the demo, wasnt impressed. Looks like it needs real teamwork, which you're not going to find with random groups or servers.
 
Wait, do you need to pay for this to play online?
If so, does microsoft think any1 will pay since pc users are used to mainly free online gaming?
 
From what I've heard about this its basically Counterstrike with fantasy elements. You buy special abilities and weapons at the beginning of a round, gain more for winning the last round and then have to defuse the bomb and.. oh wait, forget that last bit.

It does look vaguely interesting, I like the whole infrared - looking through walls - cybereye purchase, and the teleport/glider wings combination, but theres very little chance I'd buy it purely because its multiplayer only. If it had a single player portion I'd be ordering it now, but I've never bought (to be honest I've never heard of one) a FPS game thats purely multiplayer.

Not so bad if thats all it is, but apparantly the way they get people together for games is another poor selling point. You want to meet your friend on a server to have a game with? Good luck, it places you at random. Hopefully something that'll be fixed sometime in the future. How the hell are you going to get clan games otherwise?
