Features:

Comic style graphics and game-play in an MMO environment.

Fast-paced FPS-style combat, where the skill of the player determines success or failure in a fight.

Unique, third person camera and targeting system allows players to fight in an FPS style but with the expanded field of view of a third person perspective.

Persistent world allows players to improve their character’s skills, equipment, and standing over time.

3-D graphical lobby allows players to find team mates and launch battle instances from inside the game, rather than using the web-based game lists that other games employ.

Players can create their own dynamic competitions in instanced battle zones.

Ability to support hundreds of simultaneous users in a single instanced, team-based battle arena without noticeable performance hits. The typical FPS can only support 32 or at most 64 users on a single map.

Web-based leader boards rank top players and guild

The Closed Beta will be followed by an Open Beta from March 21-April 6, 2007 and will be available on Direct2Drive beginning on April 6, 2007.
