That's your company is it ScooterG?

[ScooterG]

Yup, but I'm not on that team.

[bitWISE]

Sounds leet.

[Doombrain]

cool. 360 really needs a good 4 player co-op.
i just hope it's good.

[Mat Linnett]

I would say there's a lot of post-apocalyptic bandwagoning going on recently, but the announcement dates for all the recent PA games have been too close together to be considered copycat development.
Nice to see so much enthusiasm for this long-neglected setting

[4days]

there needs to be more post-apocalyptic stuff, it's the best kind of nostalgia.

RPG/FPS hybrid with vehicles in a mad max post-apocalyptic setting... sounds interesting.

[ScooterG]

You know how lots of shooters have truly drab color palettes? One of my favorite things about this game is that I couldn't be more dazzled by the color palette. Yay!

[m o n s t r o]

Horrible art direction.

Yep, right at the same time.

As long as the AI for your team is better than the first one I'll try it. That was what really got me frustrated with the first one - my team getting stuck here and there...also the inability of my guy to do things like jump over a 1 foot high fence.

[ScooterG]

You'll be pleased.

[seremtan]

actually, what pissed me off about BIA was shooting nazis repeatedly in the face at point blank range and them not dying. somehow i feel this is not an accurate reflection of actual warfare, but i could be wrong

[tnf]

its because they had +10 dexterity modifiers on their helmets during the war allowing them a 75% greater chance to dodge bullets. This is a little known fact from ww2 that you won't read in your revisionist history books.

Hey Scooter, you can see the top of the skybox on:

It's just a little thing, but since they're offering it as a wallpaper, might want to fixy.

[obsidian]

It had it's moments, but I agree, it was pretty frustrating to play. Good luck with Hell's Highway, I hope it's a lot better.

[MKJ]

4 player co-op? always welcome

You teach that to your class?
