Here some more info about the game 
| Quote: | We know plenty of you are hungry to get your teeth into the Hunter Beta, so by way of a prelude we thought we would take the time to field some of the questions that you've been kind enough to send through:
Will I be able to carry more than one weapon?
Yes, there will be a variety of weapons and equipment available in the Hunter, and when you go out hunting you will be able to pack a primary and secondary weapon.
Will the Hunter be a multiplayer game?
This is another of those yes & no answers. The Hunter is not just a 3D client, but also an integrated social space which will allow you to interact with other players, and you will find missions that require you and a friend to compete or work together on a certain set of tasks both in the 3D and social aspects of the simulation. The hunts themselves will be single player instances, with the emphasis on realism. We would like your opinions, once you have played theHunter for a while, about multiplayer instances where you can go and hunt with friends, but our thoughts are very much that any multiplayer instances should also be realistic and therefore co-operative; there will be plenty of game to shoot in the Hunter.
Will the animals be intelligent?
It's about hunting. One of the key skills to hunting is knowing your prey, so there has been a serious focus on trying to make the animals in the Hunter behave as they would naturally.
Will I be able to craft and trade items in the Hunter?
Although not initially, we would like to include this option moving forward. Tell us what you like to see!
It says free to play but then you talk about membership, how's that meant to work?
It's free to play! The free to play experience will be awesome - with your help of course. You will also be able to buy in-game items - better rifles and clothing for instance - and if you find that you do that a lot you might decide to get an even better deal by becoming a member (paying a subscription). It's up to you!
Is the hunter client or browser based?
The hunting will take place in a state-of-the-art 3D client which you will download and install on to your PC. Emote's new Participate technology is an integrated part of the game too, though, and this utilizes web based a social networking type interface, allowing you to shop, trade, upload videos and images as well as make new friends, not just with other players but also characters from the Hunter.
Will the hunter be a free roaming world with a lobby system if I just want to chat?
If you want to hang out and just chat with friends, swap stories, pictures and videos then the Hunter social space will be the place for you. If you're more at home in the woods then the Evergreen Hunting reserve will be the place for you, but obviously we're expecting that players will enjoy doing both!
What Animals will I be able to hunt?
In the first release you will be able to hunt four animal types including Whitetailed Deer. We'll be announcing what the others are very soon. Beyond the first release there will be regular updates, meaning that you'll come across an ever increasing selection of animals. Tell us what you'd most like to see!
How will the game be scored?
To an extent, this is up to you. What is important for you as a player; successful 'missions', better equipment or skills, trophy bucks? For the purist we will be including one or more of the major real-life scoring systems; watch out for future announcements.

I want to know if we can shoot other hunters. I'll hunt them while they hunt the animals.
Player X sees a large deer and hides to not be seen and takes the shot. BANG! and milliseconds after BANG! Player X has successfully shot the dear with a nice clean kill only to have his brains splattered by NuclearShadow who hurries to the corpses and drags them both into his truck and enjoys the fresh meats with his friends and family.

WTF, if Dick Cheney shoots someone in the face and is not permabanned from the government, why should NS be any different?  |

Why not have the option to totally use the MP aspect? Players could be the PREY!
Run around, use a role playing aspect like having to eat and find berries, rub your antlers, eat pine needles to get full but at the cost of decreased nutritious food retention. I think that sounds pretty kewl. AND, if you trample the fuckin' hunter you can put thier mug in your den.
I probably should have saved this for my own game design but I know I would never spend the time because I could give a rat's ass about hunting.

In response from the pros/cons of real hunting.
I am not a hunter. I find it boring.
I am not with PETA. I do not desire to kill an animal.
That being said, hunting is a necessity. In Louisiana, where I live, Deer would literally starve from over population. In Texas, the government employs people to kill deer wholesale for population control, as there are not enough hunters to do the job. The money that is derived from licenses, fines, etc. goes towards wildlife preservation.
That being said,
this game looks like it will kick butt.
I think killing a virtual Bambi will be fun.
