The IGN review is terrible. With the information the reviewer wrote in this review, he may as well of not played the game. He spends most of the time talking about the basic premise of the game (which I feel is something that should be addressed in the previews) rather give any of his personal opinion. Almost all of the review is something you could gather from reading press releases and watching the developer walkthroughs.

He reviews the game more as a product instead of reviewing it as an experience. I don't see the point in IGN improving their review scores if they're going to let their text reviews be so poor.

I'm really stoked for MNC. I need a new multiplayer after growing tired of Snoopy: Flying Ace and Bad Company 2.

It is sad, that IGN continues to die more and more...I have not even looked at their site in months, because of things like this...

This brings to question how can you review a game that is so online heavy pre release?
Click to expand...

You can play against other people who have review copies of the game. Though, I'm still waiting on my review code at this point, so I have no idea how many people are were playing the game the last few days.

yea but most the times the servers are not fully populated, not as many people with different types of skill levels, ect.

I'm getting the impression that post-release support just means they'll be doing balance changes to each of the classes. Has there been any news about additional maps or classes via DLC?

They already said in one interview that they're considering both new maps and new classes. They already have a 7th class in concept or something.

Man, dev walkthrough #2 has me hyped times a million. I play medic in all games (when available) and the thought of having extra support (turrets) just makes me happy :D

seriously? whats point of playing sniper when you run around with a smg? its like completely missing the point of a class
Click to expand...

As I said before, his very first game. I still don't know why he picked Sniper other than he didn't want to pick his first choice, Support, for that round. He kept using Traps instaed of Flak for damage, for example. Very overwhelmed to start. I heard later that night he did a lot better and had a 15 kill round, but of course, that's after he stopped recording.

Here's another twitter contest from Major Nelson: http://twitpic.com/2dfhew

Does anyone know if the game has an option to join games with friends(like get in a room with 3-4 people and hop online)? Blacklight didnt have this and it really was a big bummer for the way I like to play online.

Are there only two teams Hot Shots and Icemen? With the whole sports theme going on it would be nice if there were more than two squads you could potentially be assigned to every match. Even if they kept the same Orange v Blue color scheme.

As far as I know it does. The blacklight thing was one of the main reasons why I didn't pick it up.

It sure does!!! I wasn't to sure till you brought it up but I went to look at the Dev walkthrough part 2 and I paused it before they join a game and they have a invite xbox live party option so it seems its a go with party up then play.


In the vid its at 15 seconds.

To back up infected's find, they also say something about it in the official forums because someone asked about the same thing.

To keep people together on the same team, you can invite people to an Xbox Live Party and the game will keep those players together even in a Private Match. There isn't a direct select what team you're on option. That being said, we added Private Match late into development and would love to revisit it in an update based on feedback. There was only so much time and resources we had to finish and polish the game. We're looking to the community for feedback after release for further updates.

Download the trial before you buy, it gives uber better demo to sale ratios :p

You can join matches mid play so if someone drops you can take their place, so friends can jump in to your games also if there is space.

Snipers can grapple kill a jackbot but he never does so :( the dude is playing better now but a bit twitchy on the sniper aiming.

*edit* noticed that its a different youtube account, this is someone else.

Is this something you can play by yourself against bots? Just curious, couldn't figure it out from the OP. Thanks.
Click to expand...
Both, you can play a survival wave type mode (blitz) or you can play team vs team (crossfire), both involve bots as part of the method of taking down the moneyball so you can damage it.

I seriously feel this game was for me, I play healer any chance that I can get. I love the support role in MNC, the idea of being able to not only heal myself and other players but also create turrets and call in those mini air strikes all while having the shotgun as a secondary option...so awesome. :D

Is it true only 1 map?
Click to expand...

Sadly, yes, it's one map for Blitz. If it's any consolation, there's leaderboards. And 4 maps for Crossfire. And the promise of new maps if they ever decide to come back and do DLC.

They have said multiple times at the official forums that they are going to listen to the community and see what they want as long as people keep playing. There is a huge Q&A thread that the devs respond to almost every day.
