Go get it! It's free! http://store.steampowered.com/app/218230/Really short summary: It's an FPS like Battlefield only there are thousands of players in the same game, and yes you actually see hundreds at a time and you can fly around to see it all. Important info: DANE and RH members are on Helios, which is actually a west coast server. Some of us are on the east coast Mattherson server, but that's due to early issues with joining a west coast one. We're currently joining the New Conglomerate side (that's the blue team). You have to pick a side when you make a character, so pick the NC if you wanna play with RH and DANE crew! Helios has the lowest population right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of people on it!

I am loving this game. I haven't played an mmo in a couple years now, my last one was mortal online. The battles are epic and I will play this game for a long time. I'm even going to sub to the game. That is how much I like it. I'm on Helios and Soltech. Dwo, Deathwarmedover both heavy assault. I just unlocked the gauss saw s on Deathwarmedover. Man after getting used to the nc6 gauss saw, I am owning with the saw s.lol

Hmmm, are we getting the band back together? I may be able to dive into the pool.... never mind the mixed metaphor.

It feels like the old DoD days, but on a truly epic scale. I was on Helios my second day and we were assaulting Mani bio. I'm with 50 infantry, aircraft all over the freaking place and a column of 30 tanks rolls by and I was with just a small part of the army. Truly EPIC!!!!! I need to upgrade as my rig is outdated, but I had zero lag during that assault. I have to re log though every couple of hours or I bogged down bad. Yeah Noob, a Squad or two of RH could do some damage. I'll look you up AC.
