Hmmm, interesting.

All the latest games are pointing to one thing though. Upgrade time. :(

Yeah, there is that.  The new BF2 patch crashes the game every 15 minutes on my PC now.

This MIGHT be cool....provided that it retains some of its original style.  I think if they went overboard on the energy weapon stuff it'd turn into a sci-fi shooter and I think we've got enough of that with the Unreal Tournament series.  I'm not bemoaning this at all...just that I think Battlefield is a little different in scope.  Its always tried to adhere to history and then modern day time periods with a game oriented feel.  It works...its not perfectly historical or realistic but it has a gritty war movie feel.

If they do the same with this...then that'll be excellent.  A sort of Halo'esq or C&C: Tiberian Sun sort of setup would be nifty.

The video looks very cool indeed...may have something there!

I suspect it'll be mainly ammo-based rather than energy based weapons, if that video is of said game.

Yep...that'd be fine with me.  Maybe caseless ammo tho...now that'd be high tech :D

That looks a lot like the Starsiege 2235 mod. The mech even looks rather like the replacement for the Olympian HERC. I smell a hoax.

The video looks like Tiberian Sun-ish artwork.  I may want to give it a try.

They always do that, though.....

Guess why consoles are popular and I like them too..

Gawd, I hope humanity dosn't end up like that video.

Course, (almost) all good FPS are like that.

Either way, it looks sexy.
ngtm1r probably right.
It's most likely some 1337 mod for some crazy-ass game.

I wonder if that's really Derek French in the comments.
