its teh game Hellgate was supposed to be, Co-Op and whatnot. basically a real good looking FPS version of diablo2 (apparently its really drop loot based like diablo).

i grabbed it from the net last night. best part?

it apparently has the anti-piracy protection you would expect of a game made in 1994. Online/LAN is essentially free and un-fettered, everything is stored client-side. developers sound retarded to me, but im told everyone is playing it so hey, i grabbed it. 6 gig download but seems like a lot of fun, really well done.

anyone else grab it/going to dl it/whatever?

HAC, betasoldier, and I picked it up at a gaming center for a bit. We played for nearly 8 hours, having a blast. Very well made. Loot is pretty sweet. The loot seems to be randomly generated when it drops w/ any different combination of stats so it makes for some really interesting and powerful weapons.

dont think so, rhonnin.

actually PC players cant play together, as this is probably the worst online implimentation in the history of online play.

buy game install game click join game and computer lags for 5 minutes. cant join games. cant view games. hacking in games is wide spread. cant kick players from games (public). private games dont work right.

awsome.

still, i love playing this game.

Sounds like the xbox 360 version is the way to go then.

We didn't have a single problem w/ the 360 version. Very smooth and I didn't notice any lag between an action on someone's screen and then my own.
