I'm just glad you can hear your character speak. It actually adds to immersion despite conventional thinking.

I don't mean to speak blasphemy, but this game might be a DNF killer.

It's got:
proximity mines in multiplayer
lots of flying body parts
player body/shadow
a release date!

It doesn't have:
ragdoll octabrains

Another unique feature in the game is the unarmed attack mode that allows you to instantly dispatch an opponent via a combat move. The most common used was a sliding attack into an opponent, or my favorite, the flying scissor kick. I watched one of the designers take out a squad of 3 enemies in close proximity of each other, without firing a single bullet.

Hawt. After long hours with Halo2, the lack of melee attacks in current FPSs is sorely apperant - if they balance these attacks properly this will be one hell of a MP game.

Maybe I am dumb but I dont see it mentioned anywhere what the multiplayer actually is. What kind of a preview doesn't even tell you if it's deathmatch or teamdeathmatch or objective based or what.
