They're quite ambitous apparantly. Forums are still active but they're only releasing renders of models and weapons and vehicles and no actual gameplay pics. But there's a closed alpha going on apparantly. But still, I get a feeling that its vapourware when reading through the forums They're announcing so much and basically it's just 1 programmer called ronanhayes giving out info "we've done this, we're working on that" but no proof of concept... I thought maybe som1 here has got more info on the project?

models look excellent but will they look as good ingame. Thats where downfalls usually are, they make everything look so superfab but when they put them into a game it ends up looking like something completley different.

128+ players eh?
Sounds cool about the AI being processed on a seperate server... this game could be good, one to keep a definate eye on. 
Thanks for the link!

I didn't mean to imply they are breaking new ground, it's just nice to see another game try to jump on the bandwagon for more than 64 players.
I know Joint Ops has big numbers, but that game blows hardcore.

The game is great if you have a clan to play with. Its horrible in random multiplayer because the maps and vehicles require actual team play. Its far better than than any other online FPS when you have good teams. The coordination required to air lift/ferry vehicles across water ways for assaults is amazing.

Nah i agree. Sounds more like an idea than an actual game to be released anytime soon

it does. and they apparantly just changed their engine cus the reality-engine they were using didn't suffice. BUt still not single in game picture, especially since this game has been in development for more than 2 or 3 years i think...
