I have a hard time figuring out if it’ll be worthwhile. I’ve seen some videos and heard some descriptions and, from what it looks like, it appears to be strongly Goldeneye-influenced. I dunno. I didn’t play BioShock, but I did play the demo. If only there were a multiplayer demo for this game. ---

I loved Bioshock 1. The idea of a multiplayer Bioshock sounds intriguing. I never played a goldeneye game, what’s the influence? ---

Different character models that doesn’t inherently have different stats, strengths, or weaknesses, but the sizes and shapes of the characters presented a bigger or smaller target. Also, it doesn’t seem to be so deathmatch-related and more objective. It’s also the impression I got from watching the videos. It could be, and probably is, way off base. It’s intriguing, but I’m dubious. ---

As long as there’s not #%¤damn Oddjob, that’s grand. And no Klobbs! ---

I remember that once you started getting beat up and others were controlling the board, the only thing you could find at that point was a Klobb, and it was a running joke that you were going to try to take someone down with it.
