The Gear Up Thread.

I've been browsing randomly through Steam Greenlight and this little beauty caught my attention...

It's a game with what I'd say is an arcade style theme base similar to that of TF2.
32 players max, not sure if they'll budge to 64 players especially since it's PC based.

It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux and if they get the green light (currently 1% positive rating) it'll be available on Steam.

You can check it out here and sign up for the alpha version like I have and maybe we can give them some feedback.

Check out their facebook profile for more images/ screenshots

And here's a cool little video:

Will update thread with more info as more is released but it looks pretty darn fun! I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything but even I'll get into this.
What do you think? Looks pretty cool or what?

That looks awesome, like a up to date version of Wild Metal Country.

Used to love Wild Metal Country, will have to look into this.

ETA on the alpha keys is due at the beginning of next week!
I'm not 100% sure how popular the game is going to be, they've got an awful lot more interest than they were expecting but I sense some tumble-weeds...

EDIT: Wild metal country was one of the best games back in it's time, remember playing it on Dreamcast for hours on end.

Signed up for this the other day, just received alpha key, guess I better actually read about the game now lol.

Just found out they trolled me, only supports Vista SP2/Windows 7 atm, I'm still running XP

Haha yea, it's a no go for XP at the moment. Why on earth are you still on XP anyhow?

Here's some screenshots. The game is seriously imbalanced, has many bugs and glitches and a lot isn't even set up yet but then again it is only in the alpha stage.

Damn, thought this was a flight simulation-related thread

Still use XP because when I upgraded my PC I had a budget, so I skipped getting Win 7 for a little better upgrade. Also I kinda prefer XP for some reason, probably where I've been using it for so long lol.
