Despite what Steam says about the release date for the game, Sega and Gearbox have recently confirmed that it won’t arrive until Fall/Autumn 2012.
just as we get used to the game coming out in the autum
SMACK! BANG! just like a alien attacking! catching us off guard the game comes out in th spring
maybe steam know sumit we dont ?
Exactly. If the perks are anything like Call of Duty you can count me out. However if the perks are more like Operation Flashpoint Red River then I don't think it would be that bad at all. Perks aren't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that they're poorly handled in most games.
"and new looks for your squad". Does this hint to customization? I Think so!
We have no idea what perks means for this game.
"Loadouts and upgrades.
Create your perfect killing machine. An extensive upgrade system allows players to customise their characters to play the way they want. Earn experience to get perks, new weapons and new looks for your squad." -On ACM Steam Page
I hope for the vs multiplayer gameplay to allow us to play as the aliens too as well as the marines. Rather than just a Marine TDM or something.
A Horde mode is almost a certainty for this game. It just will happen without question.
