Reviews & E3

Firing Squad Editor's ChoiceThis is not one of, not possibly, but the best multiplayer first-person shooter on the market. Quake and Tribes will just have to make room in my heart for another favorite classic, the kind of game that keeps me awake until 3am and wakes me half an hour early just to get an extra bit of play time before work calls.""

PC Zone Essential"It gives an excellent sense of moving battle lines, letting you really feel when your team is making progress or losing ground and encouraging you to push on. Coupled with the encouraging team spirit shown, it makes for a hell of an enjoyable playing experience."
