    I've been playing the game a bit and it's mad fun. It's a mix of old school Quake style gameplay and Halo, with the awesome skiing-jetpack element thrown in. The maps are mostly gentle hills (think the map Blood gulch from halo), and you ski down the slopes and jetpack up the inclines to build up speed (a bit like the popular app store game tiny wings). It's really awesome, especially in capture the flag mode.

    The game is free to play, doesn't really require any money, and is about 2.4 GB. The developers have also constantly been updating the maps and weapons for balance, and I get the feeling they really care about the game. I honestly think it's the best free to play game there is. It's designed for the PC, it's an FPS, it's very fun, and it has a speedometer! There hasn't been a game like this in years. Seriously, everyone and their mother should give this a real go.

    This isn't a clan game so the topic should be in the "General Gaming > Games" section instead of "NKVD Headquarters > Games and Operations".

    That implies me having Facebook. Which I don't.

    Yeah but that requires you to log on to Facebook which is kind of shit all by itself.

    Well, you could have it logged in all the time (which is what I generally prefer for sites...or I at least have them save my login stuff), but with Facebook, that's a terrible idea.

    Exactly, it's Facebook. It's not a problem with putting in my info and hitting login. It's a matter of I don't like using Facebook.

    Fuck if I know if you have or not however I do have Ler on my FB friends list. My page is extremely bare bones, not even a picture on it.

    Well, yes, but there's also the problem that whenever you're with company, and are logged in, you can't leave, because whenever you return, you're in a relationship with the grandfather of your "best friend", have a new hobby called "violently masturbating to stuffed animals",
    have an interest in the intriguing sex life of the native insects of Madagascar and find a message on your profile or whatever the fuck it's called saying "lolol we totally haxxed your account and left sum surprirsres lloveyuuu~~" to which you can only go "That isn't hacking, you humourless cunts."
    and proceed to kick the scum out and manually correct the harm that's been done, including explaining to the now very sad and confused grandfather of your "best friend" why this isn't going to work out.

    Alternatively, you can delete the account altogether, or do what I did and never start with the bullshit in the first place.

    That's actually a game we could play. Too bad it'll end up sucking in a year when they realize they aren't making enough money and decide to make it so you CAN play for free but need to buy a million things to have any success.

    That certainly isn't the case right now, and while I won't rule out the possibility of that happening later I doubt it. It would ruin the game and the developers clearly know what they're doing.
    You could also use my referral link which requires nothing of the sort, hint hint.
