It looks like fun but I can't seem to find more details on the gun combos. Maybe I'm overlooking it. I remember being disappointed in Borderlands though everyone else seemed to love it. I got excited by all the gun combo possibilities and rpg elements. When I played it, the combos were just better versions of the standard automatic-sniper-grenadier guns and the rpg element just meant gaining levels.

I want a gun game that has Turok 2 and Perfect Dark funky cool stuff! Turok 2 had the brain scrambler that was like shooting a blue shell in Mario Kart. Perfect Dark had invisibility and awesome secondary gun functions and not just more bullets and lasers.

Nothing was more fun than tossing the Dragon as a proximity mine into an ammo spawn point. Nobody was ever sure if that was a Dragon or a trap. And that gave you time to kill them while they tried to decide.

you earn money in matches to research stuff in your tech trees, then spend more money to build/modify your weapons using the new upgrades. I don't know if there's any rpg at all to the game, I jumped straight into matches and had a ball. I decided on a pulse gun with light assault barrel for a quicker rapid fire but slightly less damage. The unmodified ammo for the pulse gun are these huge spiked spheres. I'll never have over 700 hours on it like I do Marvel Heroes but it's a fun hour or two of mindless mayhem.

Can you get secondary gun features like turning a gun into a landmine, go invisible or other non-shooting elements?

No, but they claim to be very open to player suggestions... Oh, when did they start having the flash players automatically start playing when you open a thread? I'm ready to remove them from above and just leave the urls!

It must be something recent. I thought it may have been a browser option. Driving me nuts. If its the forums, I'm afraid to go to the video thread now.

Okay, just pasting the url didn't help because the board automatically ran them as flash. I embedded them as spoilers. Click on the alert to play a video!

this game is one of those I think would be best played at a Lan party for the whole group fun effect you hear in the first video.
