Ok, I tried it this morning - and found that is is an interesting concept. One thing that stood out: re-spawning again. I have gotten so used to not being able to do that. I'm still not sure if I like it....
My base impression: This is like deathmatch Counter Strike in one sense and a gussied up TFC in another.
Graphics work well, and GameSpy supports it. I was able to find several sub 50 pings for these servers. Thank heavens there is no FF on in this one, as you would be soooo tk'd all the time.
Maps seem well conceived, and there are interesting variations. I kept thinking, "this one would be cool in CS".
One major problem seems to be that even with gamma turned way up, it's still too dark to differentiate between rebels and defenders on some maps.
The ability to gain health as long as you stay close to team mates is pretty novel. And it's interesting how you can gain accuracy in aiming the more of your team is near you as well. This mod is not for those who lone wolf it.
I intend to play it some more and see what the evening players have to offer compared with the early morning folk.... sort of like CS on our servers - the early folk are mostly modem newbies trying to learn how to play the game while a few 'sharks' swim through the waters eating them up.
Not sure if I totally like it or not, at this point.
