It's free and it looks like everyone on my steam friends list has it. I played a practice mission tonight and got slaughtered. It seems like it'll be pretty cool, though.

Played some co-op with a friend last night. Good stuff, but you really need four people. It's not like L4D where if you have two people, you'll get two bots with you. No, you only get two people which really limits you - not only in firepower, but class skills as well.
 
It's pretty fun IMO. I downloaded it with the intention of getting the free hat for TF2, but I think I'll put a few more hours into it at least :D You should join up with me if you see me playing!
 
Ha, I think you actually did try to invite me to play last night, but I was at bar trivia, sorry about that. :)
 
Yeah, a friend and I were playing a bit and didn't know we'd get thrown in with just us and no bots. A tech and a medic just don't cut it alone :D

But yeah, I sent an invite on the off chance you came back while we were still on. Will probably be playing tonight for a bit assuming my 'net connection is fixed...it's been dropping randomly here and there. A dude is supposed to be out to fix it today, but he hasn't showed up yet.

For free, there's a lot to it, especially if you dig through the console commands. I can't get my xbox 360 controller to work with it, though, and I don't know why. There's a FPS mode, though it's not perfect yet. Hopefully they'll fix it a bit in an update sometime as it'd be cool to be able to play from both perspectives.
 
This has got to be the best legit free game I've ever played. Played with two friends finally and that made all the difference in the world. We could probably finish the campaign on Normal as long as we had three people.

sigh, yeah - I had to drop it to easy yesterday in order to get past one part with only two of us :p
 
My guy has been maxed out for over a week now but we can't beat the last level on hard. Then again, we've been playing just two of us and two bots. Really need four actual people, I guess. I was hoping to finish the game on hard before promoting my character and starting back at lv 1.
