Isn't that the game that got criticised for a lack of freedom in the levels, blocking your way with fridges.

Don't really know much about it except:
  • it's free
  • it runs on XP (and my gpu does support shader level 3, at least in theory)
  • the scenario is N. Korea invades the US
Good for a laugh if nothing else. I dl it last night, will report back on the blocking fridges. Read a review that says the multiplayer is better, puts you in tanks & helicopters (I think).

Having got this up and running (one of my beefs with steam is that every fucking game bar none wants to re-install vb redistributable and directx), and played about 20-30-mins is that it seems to be a plausible shooter, with decent graphics. Not too terrible for a free game.
