Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West now On Steam for Preorder!

[Beta]

Put away those High powered rifles and expensive scopes, we're going back to the Wild West, where you fight for gold and power!

http://store.steampowered.com/news/3625/

Lead and Gold is a 3rd person Wild West Class Based Shooter (I know right? 3rd person, Wild West Classed based shooter? That totally goes against any game that has used a system that involves guns and objectives)

Apart from my obvious sarcasm, If you pre-order now you get access to the Beta, which is currently live. The Multiplayer is P2P, so no dedicated servers. But this game is more of an Arcare based shooter, so dedicated servers are not really a need.

The game comes out April 8th for the PC, PS3, and 360.

Preordering as soon as my friend give me my money. For 15$ (13 while on sale) it's a steal. Looks amazing and very fun. Hasn't been a good western shooter in a long time, this seems to have the feeling of tf2 and really nice gameplay.

Also, dedicated servers will be in the game around release (confirmed by dev) along with p2p.

PCgamer did a preview of this game a few issues ago (issue 198, p32)

Their take made it sound like TF2 set in the old west - looks way better than a $15 game

I've been waiting for this game for quite a few months. Just pre-purchased. Hit me up on Steam if anyone wants to play some Beta with me.

Tf2 is a 20 dollar game

Anyways, looks pretty good, but I will stay my hand in getting it until I get some opinions from people who have it and have played fistful of frags...

Anyone having a problem with it running? I'm getting the error where it crashes to desktop as soon as the initial loading bar finishes. I tried the fixes they posted on the forums but it still crashes. Just have to wait until they put out a fix I guess.



fixed the problem. Had to disable all USB devices except my mouse/keyboard.

I guess I said it confusingly I meant Lead & Gold is only $15 but it looks better than that is all.

Played with it a little today - 4 classes total, doesn't seem like anything to dethrone TF2 or DOD, but still had fun playing it. It might get one of those niche followings like Killingfloor.

wish it had in-game voice communication...
