Awesome! Any word on making a Steam group for this? To make it easier to play with one another, since there won't be dedicated servers, but it will be fully Steamwork-ified.

I'll make one if I'm allowed to, but figured it's better if an eGO person does.
 
I got it for PS3 on Tuesday, and it's a blast. It definitely has a Left 4 Dead vibe to it, but with a levelling up system, a better need for communication and cooperation... and I just like it a lot more than L4D, to be honest.

They seem to be having server troubles, though, which makes me worry.
 
I dont like the idea of shooting cops.... Not to mention it looks pretty bland. :/
 
Installing it now. If anyone else is going to nab it, feel free to add me on Steam. User ID is Wizminkey.

@Vik: It won't be for everyone. It's got a very Left 4 Dead vibe to it, but with more tactics and less zerging. It won't beat out Battlefield or the like, but it's a different type of game altogether. No competitive mode is planned now or in DLC. But for a good team game with intense firefights, $20 ain't too shabby.
 
3 copies left from the 4 pack, pm me or add me on steam if you want one. I'll give them out to the first 3
 
The game plays extremely well and is definitely worth the 20 bucks. To anybody who has the game and doesn't understand how to upgrade different areas(support, assault, or sharpshooter) you press tab when in game and press 1, 2, or 3 to change what gets leveled up when you go up in reputation. You can see the future upgrades in the upgrade section of the menu.

On a side note, I surprisingly still have one copy left... idk how only 2 people have asked so far ._.
 
I was thinking about trying it out, (though I didn't want to ask for one of your four-pack copies, figured others may benefit more from the kind gesture.) It looks interesting, I've always liked bank robbery themed entertainment! :)

If you've still got a copy collecting dust in the coming weeks, I'd take it off your hands though.
 
sadly i dont think ill really be able to play it, even though i meet all the system requirements

because they didnt really give you any means to turn down graphics settings im sitting here wishing for death because i run around so laggy that i get maybe 5-10 kills in a game

hopefully in the next couple days we get a patch allowing us to turn down our graphics
 
Yeah the complete lack of any graphics settings was a bit of a shock. I expected at LEAST Low/Medium/High.

Still, having a lot of fun with this. I'm juggling the PC and PS3 versions as well as Batman, so I may not be on a lot :P I have some RL friends on PS3 that don't have gaming PCs. :(
 
Being a Kane & Lynch player, it's hard for me to get over the fact that no one is going to double cross the team once we get to the get away, lol.
