Yeah so my friend was down for christmas break and he told me about this game that he and his brother were playing. Its a very interesting type of game that I haven't seen anything like it before. Its a fps/rts hybrid where the fps part is self explanatory the rts part of the game is the commander position where you get to issue commands and place buildings etc. Its a pretty old game (about 4 or 5 years) and its free for download.
It took me a couple of days to get used to the game play and that was just the fps part, I haven't even tried commanding yet. A quick run down of the way things go, its humans vs beasts, at the beginning the game wont start until both teams have a commander(during this time is a good chance to get down how the melee system works, melee is a must to know) then when the game starts you run around and help build the buildings by using your melee. You get experience and gain levels and get new perks (I guess) like better armor more stamina etc. While your commander is working on getting the team your technology (weapons and items) you can run around and creep ala warcraft 3 style and what not and get money and xp or you can go and start the main objective which is to destroy the other teams stronghold.
A little bit on the humans, I have mostly been playing as them since they have the guns and are very basic. The weapons are pretty damn hard to use when you first start out. It will seem like these weapons suck like the biggest fucking balls ever but they get the job done. Like I said earlier it took me a couple of days before I finally started to even get close to a positive score.
The humans don't really have anything thats special so there really isn't much else to say about them.
A little bit on the beasts, these guys are awesome. At first they are all melee up until about the beginning of the middle of the game is when they get some ranged weapons. They get a leap or pounce thats really fast and the beasts can and will fuck your ass up if you don't block in time as a human. Playing as a beast your main advantage is your melee because of the speed of the pounce. I haven't played beast too much but they are fun to use and get some cool weapons like that gay ass lighting sniper staff thing lol.
Both teams also get new units that you can upgrade to granting you more life and melee power at the cost of some speed (its worth it though trust me). Then there is the healer then there are the siege weapons. I have only tried using the ballista but I didn't get any kills with it but ive seen some people really fuck shit up with them.
You can get the game here:

There is a torrent on the site and the download is only 300MB. Updating the game is easy also, just try to play online and it will prompt you for it then your good to go. Just thought I would throw this out there to any other pc gamers that are looking for something else new to play:tup:.
