    it's not a fps but pillars of eternity actually has really accuate gun usage. you have early powder weapons and with weapon slots you can do things like fire two initial blunderbuss shots then switch to a melee weapon. I think coastal amurua were actually designed with this in mind.

    I can't wait until WW2 settings are in fashion again and they do remakes of all the original games of the shooter franchises

    I can. I can wait forever, because WW2 is so boring. Sci-fi and fantasy and steampunk games should be the only ones made.

    You can't really have a run and gun FPS with pre-metallic cartridge firing weapons.

    If you did a pike and shot era game and had the players as cavalry they'd be fast, have two horse pistols, one carbine and a sabre, that's three shots before needing to reload or close for melee. It could work.

    I would be an objective based game, your objectives would be the giant pike blocks for your side and your opponents side. If you can get to the rear of an enemy pike block when it's engaged with one of yours, your pike block will win, and you need to keep the enemy from doing the same to you. Last side with troops on the field wins.

    Bam. You got a game.

    But I'm weird and really like revolvers in FPS games.

    it's some free to play thing, but Fistful of Frags is pretty cool

    I get what you mean, though

    To be fair I am judging it on the beta demo version cause I never paid for the full game.

    Speaking of shooters that no one else seemed to like but I personally loved:

    I finally remembered the name of the game that Hawken reminds me a ton of:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG6ok9-nJR4

    Anyone else play this thing?

    (Hawken continues to be rad, btw, got elite status on my Reaper, just unlocked the Brawler, going from an A-Class to a C-Class mech is going to be a weird change of pace.)

    Eh, when movie people "get involved" with video games, I imagine the actual connection is tenuous at best.

    I was one of the weirdos that preferred SMNC to MNC. I felt that MNC just devolved into "go assassin/sniper/gunner, rush the enemy base at the start of the match, fuck everything else."
    You can still occasionally find SMNC matches since people still want the TF2 items, and rarely a few of the old community members organize PUGs.

    MNC was really fun till everyone discovered the bug that let you damage the enemy core without pushing bots their first and then microsoft's horrendous 360 patching policies kept Uber Entertainment from fixing it for several months...

    so me and @JohnHam were just talking

    about how fucking excellent the original Monday Night Combat was

    and after doing some looking, it's currently only 5 bucks on steam, and the servers are still running

    the catch being that the servers are completely deserted

    so the question is

    who wants to get back into MNC with us

    if at least six people want to we can get some games going
