Did the trial. The ugly cars were a downer for me, I was hoping we'd get more customization options and the cars would look slicker. Instead they looked boxy and uninspired to say the least.

Also, the combat was getting pretty tiresome. Driving around in circles with no worries about obstructions (you'd just drive over it) got boring quick. Ahh what could have been. They really screwed the pooch on this one.

Vehicle wise it was a great game, but out of the vehicles and in the cities it was horrible. Would have been nice if it was zone free and you could drive through the towns etc and get out all from the same interface. Think of it as BF2 on steroids.

We can only hope that this is a sign of things to come for all MMOs, which universally suck anyway.

There are three servers for the US players I think. Two in the west and one in the east. Are they just taking one of those or is EVERY server goigg to become this one server?

I actually bought the collectors edition when best buy had it really cheap and gave the headphones away to a friend. Now of course I'm wondering if I didn't give away the best part.

I think it's main problem is what Eurogamer stated in their review:

"Auto Assault combines the vehicular glee of Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors with the ultraviolence of Rambo or Carmeggedon. What lets it down is ugliness, its hunger for power (and the corresponding technical issues), and the knowledge that this would be much better and more coherent as a purely single-player game ."

as a single-player or GW-scheme MP game this could have worked, but not as a 15$/month MMO

I played the beat of the game since a fairly early phase, and I actually enjoyed it towards the end of its development.

Probably a game I would've bought if it went with a Guild Wars pay scheme.

The beta for this game was horrible. I would never have purchased it having played in that. It's too bad, the concept was good, execution was horrible.
