This is basically all CME managed to produce, but I figured I'd take a gander at it for free.

Yeah, very botched at release. Apparently they worked very hard to fix it in the months leading to the developer's bankruptcy. This title was supposed to save them... alas :D Now it was bought by someone, so I'm not sure how much support they're still giving.

[J Arcane]

It's honestly not very good now either. If I'd paid 20 bucks for it I would be pissed, especially when TF2 and Shattered Horizon are the same price. There are free mods as good or better.

[CappinCanuck]

Yeah, certainly. I'm a huge SG fan and passed on it, and am still passing on it. This new company bought the title but I don't think they bought the dev house or hired the developers. I think they just bought the property and are getting the income -- meaning, no further development/support. It still needs a lot of work to get good. It's a shame. It looked so promising when it was an MMO.

Honestly, the MMO thing is what it made me think of.

It feels more like the level of polish one expects from an MMO, as opposed to the quality one wants in an MP shooter like this.

It feels like what it is: An MMO without the MMO parts, hastily pumped out as a tech demo.
