Is Monday Night Combat free weekend not also in the EU? I havent heard anyone else mention a peep about it.
I think it's actually pretty fun. Many of the same elements TF2 used to have before it was ruined. 5 Classes, and you can select up to 3 sponsors that give you different perks (nothing major, like a slightly larger clip, faster movement speed, more armor, etc), base building and a handful of witty commentaries.
It's 33% off until Monday, I assume thats a tenner.

IGN Review:
It is. Had a few games with some friends last night.
We'd buy it only we're mostly broke
Is there a problem with Steams timing of it though. Mine says it's finished in 13 hours
Also, a lot of the servers had terrible ping and when we wanted to play the coop against the ai we just used direct connect because the browser wasn't showing my game. It does have dedicated server support though0 -
Yeah its still up, costs around €7.70 I think.
Also, one of the best reasons to own it on PC....Cardboard Tube Samurai

No the free weekend actually ends in a few hours, but the discount is up for another day. Good marketing tactic, and being reasonable it's pretty effing cheap. They seem to be taking the smart approach which is to get more people playing with a cheaper buy-in, but even saying that you can still have fun with 1 or 2 people as the game world is full of bots - that is, not Bot-controlled players: actual bots.
The best is when one tries to assassinate you without their dagger/sword in their hand - they just slap you in the face a bit and do a minimal amount of damage. I get to respond by throwing a grenade in their face, charging at them, and doing a spin attack if theres anything still left standing.Yeah its still up, costs around €7.70 I think.

That said though an Assassin with the upgraded sword and the critical-hit and damage sponsorships can kill you with one attack. And they're cloaked most of the time so the good ones can get really annoying! But it's a hard class to play.0 -

Just picked up Force unleashed II for the xbox for my Son as part of a trade in game offer in Gamestop.
The sticker on the front said €10 but it turned out to only €5 with a game that qualifies.
Just before the inevitable jokes... no I didnt trade my son for the game.

imbalance where?
Admittedly they have released a patch or two since I last played, but the obvious imbalance appears in the classes. Also, I think that a few of the arenas aren't conducive to playing certain classes. (Heavy gunner vs assassin or sniper.) Aside from this, too often the games I have played in (about 5 hours in total) have ended in a stalemate.
I like the game as a concept but I'm not convinced that it is executed all that well. Perhaps they will iron out some of the more frustrating elements of the game and add a more tactical element in any sequel (Tuesday Night Combat?). For example, the ability to control the attack routes of your bots or to set attack/ defend orders.0 -

6 classes. Assassin, Assault, Sniper, Gunner, Support, Tank5 ClassesYeah its still up, costs around €7.70 I think.

You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that needs a code. Or maybe the code was for early access. Anyway, they gave out Cardboard Tube Samurai codes at PAX!The best is when one tries to assassinate you without their dagger/sword in their hand - they just slap you in the face a bit and do a minimal amount of damage. I get to respond by throwing a grenade in their face, charging at them, and doing a spin attack if theres anything still left standing.

(Xbox) Not minimal. As Assassin b***h slap will kill an unarmoured Sniper or Assassin Also, any Assassin that comes at a Tank from the front is going to die.
Sword back grapple will kill every class in one shot, except for a Gunner with an Armour endorsement, or a Tank with Passive 3 and/or some Armour Endorsement. Not sure if Crit Shot endorsement affects sword grapples. We discussed it on the Uber forums, but I don't remember what conclusion we came to.imbalance where?
Ahahaha, seriously? TL;DR version: Assault is totally overpowered (on Xbox, at least)Snipers arent that hard to evade, gunners hate them though. Headshots when deployed. I like playing tank and using my thrust to push people out of the arena. You also have a secondary weapon which has unlimited range and is great for taking on gunners. Snipers do however have nice traps, take-downs, and an uzi. And a well played assassin can only be stopped if you see thembefore they hit you, or you're simply dead. You can upgrade their Jump to give them *a lot* more mobility.
Gunner is not a class I spec into deployment for, because yes they tend to be sitting ducks. But if you are mobile your Slam ability (shift key) works great on ninjas and such and your miniguns are still about as effective as they are when you're deployed. Tank and Gunner deployment seems better suited to co-op mode. The only thing pssibly imba/Annoying are Support firebases but even those arent unstoppable.
Attack and Defend Tactics arent needed, you can buy masses of bouncers on the offense, use Hazards to blow up swaths of bots, and build and upgrade your turrets - RockIt turrets being by far the most effective, just the most expensive also.
You don't need to upgrade the Assassin Smoke Bomb. When you use it, hit the jump button, and even a level 1 Smoke Bomb will send you flying upwards. If you don't hit the jump button, you'll stay where you are
Siiiiiiiir, I am not a very good Gunner, but you need to learn to play Gunner
If you're interested, I've been playing this game since launch day, and I got to rank 80 on the Xbox leaderboards, so I can give you tips on how to play classes. Just drop a PM. Gunner deploy is beastly powerful. Throw on even a bronze Crit Shot endorsement, and you'll win in almost every Gunner vs. Gunner battle. Deploy adds more Crit Shots, and it slows down your enemy. Don't sit there waiting, but if you bump into an enemy in a narrow hall on Spunky Cola, deploy as your Miniguns are revving up, and you'll kick butt.
Tank Deploy is a defensive move. Level 2 Passive gives you health regeneration. Very useful if you're low on health, just run around the corner and deploy. Level 3 gives your ammo regen, which is useful if you deploy while juiced in front of the moneyball, but definitely not a necessary purchase. Also, don't play Gunner in Blitz mode, and a Tank shouldn;t be deploying. Just Death Blossom + Railgun.
