That sucks but is expected. I played it for a short period of time and it was alright. It was a bit floaty and there wasn’t a lot of impact behind the actions in the game. That said, it felt alright for a point and click shooter.

The two biggest issues I ran into personally were the length of games compared to length of lobby times, and after a few hours, everyone just picked the best character, instead of working on team comp.
