    Those screenshots look like nothing in the actual game! Is that one in the middle what a fade hands used to look like during the beta? I'm glad they changed them to sabers instead little green claws.

    I just love this game. Its truly revolutionary, with the commander thing. Its like playing an RTS, except you are commanding real people. And they are yelling "shit man, were DYING over here, get us some turrets ASAP!" Wow, it can really be a high stress trip! If the humans are organized, they can so womp the aliens. But if they are disorganized and fight with each other (like kicking out a perfectly good commander, because they didnt get their favorite weapon) then the aliens get to have marine's for lunch. :)

        yeah, this and bf1942 are really really really making valve look bad. they did both of these games in around 1/5 the time that valve is taking...

          i agree, valve needs to realise that CS is losing its appeal to a lot of people, and games like this are taking control.

            Games like this? It's a HALF-LIFE mod. This is right up Valve's ally... (they can milk HL some more).

            This mode is truly awsome by the way.

            What you said is just so completely hilarious I think I will shorten up my reply to just a quote and a link. You'll figure the rest out by yourself I'm sure!

              {V} makes an excellent point, HL/CS pretty much wrecks the curve for their particular chart.
