Twitch-Based Combat – Tacticalstrategy and a fast reaction time are key to your victory, soldier. Calibrate your combat maneuvers with high-tech weaponry and powerful gear.

Didn't know 16 player deathmatches qualified for MMO in FPS games...
Ahwell PlanetSide 2 is closer every passing day...
Agreed
This is just another fps just like hedone is not an mmofps. Does the mmorpg staff not investigate these games at all before posting?
exactly what i thought!
is it so important these days to be called a mmo that any multiplayer game wants to be called one?
This for starters.
From the description it sounds pretty much like Tribes Ascend Online which i enjoyed in CB yesterday :-D
Only that the latter has 10+ classes and vehicles, a fanbase a cult status etc.
And with PS2 coming and mech warrior online down the road, this game better offers some heavy sh1t of innovational features, which where not apparent from the CGI trailer or the short desciption above
I have to agree with the posters above...please stop parroting every press release you receive when five minutes of research will make it obvious that this is not an MMOG by any stretch of the definition. Take a little pride in your role as one of the top news sites for this genre.
At least the name is accurate, as Aeriagames certainly does 'Repulse' me.
Meh...
Looks like the numerous amount of "Halo-wannabes" out there already, except it's being marketed as a third-rate MMO.
Currently playing: Star Wars: The Old Republic, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, League of Legends
Waiting on: Blade & Soul, Guild Wars 2, Tera, Kingdoms of Amular, Firefall
Man....
i wonder how much money they blew making that teaser trailer.
also doesnt help that they are overly late for the ( MMOFPS BUT 16 player death match only ) party
Is MMORPG.COM the new wikipedia? Is it really that hard to review an article before posting it? It seems like it is because a source engine CS clone is not, nor will it ever be an MMO.
It..Burns..
16 player deathmatch, not even getting a look from me. As far as an FPS, I need 32 minimum. I like the bigger stuff, 7 other people on my team is not going to cut it. I am not faulting MMORPG.com here, but really, Aeria Games needs to reconsider calling this game an MMOFPS. It's a first person shooter, with multiplayer deathmatch and co-op. Planetside is a MMOFPS, not this.
Aeria picks up the worst crap games. I often wonder how they stay in business. I have stopped trying their games as I have yet to find one that is remotely worth playing.
