I gotta stop spending money on games that I only have 15 minutes to play before something else comes out.
The line must be drawn HERE! This far! NO FURTHER!

The original for UT2004 was very good. I caught this yesterday on RPS, looks good.
Might have a go and see if we can supplant BC2 with this as our new evening coop game...

in fact, this is nearly enough for me to forgive them for leaving l4d to fester and die without decent DLC.

Best part is it ships with code and tools. Can't wait to see what kind of mods people build.

It's indeed a stunning little game, great gameplay, functional voicechat, lots of weapons, 4 player coop is absolutely the shit, etc etc. I give it two thumbs up (out of two):
The only thing that crossed my mind is poor Alien Breed devs

They're going to have a hard time selling their game now probably... Maybe Valve should have bought both companies and force them to work together :P

It is indeed fab, and that was some top killage last night

It sounds ungrateful, but there's a couple of things that could do with fixing:
The reload bar should be more central to the screen. You have to look away from the action in order to get a "Fast Reload". That would probably change over time as you got used to the timing, but it's distracting at the moment.
Similarly, I can understand why they went for a Left 4 Dead style HUD, but having that information float around the characters would work better in this kind of game.
And picking things up reveals how dodgy the bounding boxes on interactive items are. They need to add a button to switch between items on the ground.
Still, absolutely lovely stuff overall, and I can't wait to see what the community produces.
