This game will pretty much be dead on arrival, just like auto assault. Kudos to NC for trying new things, but the bar of quality has been raised far beyond what their current studios can produce(TR still looks pretty meh). Maybe the few guys from the WoW team they are funding can do something good.

Here's hoping Bioware will do something cool. And that Warhammer Online figures out how to fix WoWs pvp.

This unique combo of RPG and shooter has led to some oddities where the calculations in combat would sometimes cause you to miss a target even when your crosshairs were aimed correctly. This felt wrong, so we ended up basically removing missing your target in favor of damage reductions and resistances.

Thank god.. I was wondering how they were going to do this...

I hope HellGate London follows this philosophy....

Nothing would be more annoying for a FPS'er to be missing your mark, even though you got your crosshair on the bastard.
