There was a closed beta for a while, game released FOR FREE to all people just today.
It uses Unreal Engine 3 so it looks a lot like Unreal Tournament.
Just played for about 2 hours straight with my roommate.
It's just a fast paced, pew pew pew, shoot em up, FPS game.
You start with 3 classes, and it has lots of other classes, weapons, perks etc to be unlocked.
You can unlock think by playing a bunch and gaining xp to use to buy things, or by paying for xp boosts/etc.
All in all so far it's a pretty fun game, semi-addicting.
