    Yeah, I saw that earlier, it should be interesting to see what this entails exactly. I haven't really ever been able to understand why some people have such negative feelings about these guys, but whatever they can do to reverse this is welcome.

    I have nothing against ngmoco, They're awesome IMO, but releasing more info could convince more people to buy their games.

    Yeah definitely, I agree with you that releasing more info would be a good thing to convince people who are sceptical. The point is, they have a killer product that they're going to be releasing, and I think that anyone who plays the game is going to love it. They need to get the game out there and exposed to as many people as possible, and I think an openness in dialogue can only help with that goal.

    There is a sort of contradiction in that the smaller a studio is, the more open they are expected to be by the community. People forgive big developers like EA and Gameloft for keeping information close to the belt, but expect a completely different standard from smaller publishers. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but I've noticed it over and over again.

    8 players would be better.

    I'd like a slower paced shooter with more players, allows for greater tactical gameplay (choke points etc)

    I also enjoy that sort of game, but I don't think you're ever going to see Eliminate focused in this direction. This is really focused on fast-paced, close quarter gameplay. Any additions made to slow down the game or broaden the scale of battle are going to come much further down the road, if at ever.

    I agree! Gameloft and ea rarely maintain a steady flow of information either!

    They're much larger companies - that is the strangeness of it all. The bigger the company, the more they're forgiven for keeping information private.

    Ngmoco only has 35 people, so there is a sort of expectation with some people that they involve the community with all of their plans and decisions. So in that sense, I think a greater degree of openness is a good thing, despite the fact that they've already been reasonably open.

    Wow, that brings back the best memories. I loved the weapons and different types of bots in that game...ie meat sims, turtle sims, etc.


    I hope Eliminate implements game modes like king of the hill. That would be awesome!

    Yeah, I definitely was expecting it to be awesome... I just wasn't prepared for how awesome it actually was.

    It will launch as a 3.0-only game. A lot of the core features to the Eliminate experience (micro-transactions, push notifications) require it.

  18. I just hope 8 players online can be possible. It would be awesome to have a four-vs-four Capture The Flag mode.

    Can't w8 for release, I just hope I get some more money soon. Spent my last bit on Dungeon Hunter.
