Used to play this years ago. (maybe 5 odd years) Was an awesome game until you had completed all 4 maps over and over. Very addictive and uber fun 4 player game :>

In for some of this.  What was that bitmap brothers game of many a year ago on the Amiga that was very similar to this?  Anyone remember?  That was awesome fun, this looks like it will be too.  Looking forward to free goodies.

It was called the chaos engine, here's a screeny:   It was amazing, like most of the bitmap brothers games, way ahead of there time in some cases.

chaos engine = win!

Loved it when the aliens came in at just the wrong angle for your gun fire only being able to shoot in 8 predetermined angles of fire! I spent so many days/weeks/months playing that game along with Settlers and Railway Tycoon 1+2. Awesome games. Also used to play Gauntlet, dune 2000 and Syndicate! Loved them all so much!

Looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the old school UT2k4 mod version. Should be in for a good laugh.

Dont suppose there is any chance someone could set up a few mumble rooms for squads to use?

Awesome game...but only one campaign at the mo.
The hat is pretty sweet... it moves from time to time on your head in tf2.
The best part of it is that it's a free source mod...that's what makes Valve so successful.
