Dystopia!
If you cannot find a server list, read this!
THE COMMUNITY IS LIVE AND KICKING
This is the most common question im seeing the thread. With the Steam release, the community is amazingly better. Theres about 30 fullish servers right now. A huge influx of new players, and the vets are usually pretty nice to people

"But Cango!" you say, "How do I play, and be as awesome as you?"
Short answer, you cant! But if you want to play and not be terrible Try checking out This handy New Players Guide
Learning curve:
Im not gonna lie, semi steep. Theres 2 factors to the game, meatspace, and cyberspace. Meatspace is like most FPSes, shouldnt be anything to new. Cyberspace is a whole new world. Imagine Tron meets Escher. Decking into Cyberspace is usually crucial to completing an objective, and theres only so many Jack In Points (JIPs) per objective. So if you dont know where to go in cyberspace, Jacking in will make your team yell at you. Either practice hacking on a private/empty server, or watch someone else who is doing it.
Available now thru [url=steam://run/17580]STEAM![/url]
(If the link doesnt work, go to the store page on steam, then Demos. Or just search for Dystopia on there.)

I suck, but hey, it's fun!
I don't know if the community is still going as strong as the last time I played, but it was never hard to find a server to play on when I did.
poor little mod is completely looked over these days despite being freaking sweet
Also, I hope they fix Dystopia being reported as Source SDK Base soon.
Originally there was 1 map, vaccine. Now theres 10. All of them very high quality, interesting, and unique.
3 new weapons have been added; the smartlock pistols which can home in on an enemy. The tesla cannon which shoots rays of lightning, or a lightning ball, and the bassilisk cannon, which is like a protable flak cannon.
There are now more program in cyberspace, and more unique CS features.
Seriously guys, check it out. Its an awesome deal.
I should also mention that beeps per hit that change pitch depending on damage is the best thing to ever happen to the shooter genre and it is a travesty that other devs haven't realized the simple elegance of it.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
I don't remember what it's called, but there is one of the maps that has anime pictures on some JIPs. At least there was in 1.1. I haven't checked if it's still in 1.2.
what
like yaoi?
It was on the map broadcast, where the Corps are raiding a punk bar/club.
Some of the JIPs had pictures of anime characters, and it said interactive erotica on it.
If you spammed your use key on it, youd deck into the interactive erotica JIP
Which was just a big cube with the wallpaper being yaoi.
Which is okay by me, since a lot of the "classic" Cyberpunk trappings are now bunk and out-dated. I'd say that Shadowrun would still count as it, but it's actually looking forward to our future technology-wise instead of being stuck in a 80's version of the future.
Also, I'm going to go ahead and say that the only good thing to ever come out of the Cyberpunk license was Netrunner.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU! - Switch Friend Code SW-5465-2458-5696 - Twitch
that is awesome
The last time we did Dystopia on PA I got a reputation for liking to punch people to death as a heavy. :P
My preferred loadout was Basilisk with thermal vision (people hardly ever take a cold suit), wired reflexes and SCS.
Cyberpunk license? Is that a specific license or are we talking about the genre itself?
Cyberpunk 2020, the RPG.
EDIT: Fucking lol at some weak neckbeard getting chased off a game by yaoi.
pre v1, I used to run around with the MK208 or whatever medium rifle and just pop heads all the time. I used to deck at a highschool level, too. my mom even said so.
I played v1 and was underwhelmed at the amount of people playing, but now that there's a massive influx of fresh blood, mayhaps I'll swing myself back into this seriously wonderful game.
edit: i still hate the punk's medium skin. It just doesn't sit right with me.

Public for now, go on and join. This way we can get all up ins with some PAers
Maybe this is pt2 of my new years resolution.
That said, I downloaded the new version and the "tutorial" is absolutely horrendous.
Seriously. Light armor + leg boosters + ledge grabbing allows you to do some amazing stuff that just leaves the other classes staring in envy.
Makes the TF2 scout feel like a dork.
Yes. The tutorial is complete garbage. Is the first jumping part even practical?
Will download tomorrow anyway just because of how great this darn mod is.
And you had a tendency to say "FALCON PUNCH!" over chat when punching people. I definitely remember that.
