done!

Game looks great! Can't wait til it comes out. I've been keeping up on the Birth of a Game blog. One of my favorites was the idea for the HUD. I'm sure that would implement into the game beautifully!

Haha, I love the football/sports references (and I don't even like football).

I can see how Demigod/DotA and TF2 had some influence on the game

The game looks amazing, a cross between American Gladiators and Team Fortress 2 I love it!

Buying this day 1, hopefully its soon!

Also, I would like to thank you guys for putting in a female character (the Assassin) too many games these days don't do that.

Any idea when we could expect a release? the game looks like its ready!

Looks great guys! Break a leg!

Game looks really impressive, seems like taking the best bits of Unreal Championship 2, Bet On Soldier, and Team Fortress 2, while adding some original elements. Plus it's going to be cheap. This could be a killer, I'm calling it now.

Thanks for the inspiration! We think we have a good recipe as well!

Oh, and I love how you guys keep posting on these forums, most developers don't care or don't have time for that. Any idea about the game's price yet? 800-1200 MS Points seem reasonable.

Pricing won't be announced until it's final which it isn't.

And yeah, we love posting in the forums and talking to the community.

That's good to hear. Just spent 1200 points on the greatness that Serious Sam HD is so I don't mind paying that "much" for a great game.

I think 1200 sounds reasonable, the game looks definitely worth $15.

Am I the only one that notices a similarity between DOTA and the game mode Crossfire? if so, thats awesome!!!

Please tell me there will be control point arenas! I love the high concept here.

No, I have the same impression. Although I would go with Demigod instead of DotA. I'm really looking forward to Crossfire!

Well Demigod is based on the DOTA style of play, but taking it further. But yes, something like that sounds so awesome.

Im picking the Assassin as my main, again, thanks Uber Entertainment for making her female :3

Regardless of what other games it looks like, MNC looks facemeltingly awesome. I can't wait to play it.

In addition to cues you may or may not be taking from anyone else, make sure you keep up with support and expansion. That's what keeps games going.

Class idea: Battlefield Commander/General. See Trautman from Rambo. Could be used for calling in air support, additional troops? I'll leave it to you to figure out, but it'd be something unique.

I think additional skins for the 2nd team would be worth a thought as well. Here is how I imagine the Gunner class:



and the Assassin with her level 3 weapon:



Sniper with his secondary weapon:



Support:



Assault:



I think you get the picture...

you forgot the tank silly:

Scathis was lead designer or something for Demigod for a while and DotA was a big inspiration for Demigod, so you are probably both right
