KILLRUN

The game is really fun to play. Get it if you aren't concerned about the studio behind it. My thumbs-down is not related to KILLRUN's state. I just don't want to elaborate KILLRUN because... -------------------- I am so sad.. This game is really good, but you know what would be 10x better? A multiplayer mode... Stupid sarcasm aside, I felt the urge to relive the PROMOD Playtest and caved in after years of being salty about its closure. It's been so long that I can't be sure anymore, but at the time it felt like a done deal that PROMOD was going to be BULKHEAD's next game. And then it was just ripped away. It wouldn't be such a big deal to me if it wasn't the greatest MP I've played since I discovered what a Counter-Strike was. The mechanics are so buttery smooth that your hand will slide right off of your keyboard and into your pants. I was ADDICTED to that playtest. And so many more were as well, similar to what I've heard about people with WARDOGS now. They improved the CoD 4 Promod formula from a balance perspective and a feature-set perspective, they made things like strafing and bouncing more accessible, the maps they cobbled together were already in a good shape, they even already had a community of people regularly keeping that playtest populated for its whole run as if the game were final! They had a an entire THUNDERSTORM's worth of lightning in a bottle and they turned around and smashed that bottle into the ground while looking the community dead in the eyes. And then they took a glass shard from that bottle and offered to throw it at us for 5 dollars. This studio clearly can do great things, but what good is it when they can't stick to those things? I hope they will treat WARDOGS better than they did with Battalion 1944 and PROMOD, but I can't help but think it is going to end up as a disappointing situation somehow, too. I hope they prove otherwise.
