yeh, nice tf2 ripoff. I wonder what their strategy for this is though (they don't get any money or info, so what do they plan to accomplish from it?)

TF2 mixed with BF 1942.
You know what? That actually seems interesting. This is on my "to watch" list.

I'll be honest... I like the look of this.

My concern is that the game is free to play/download, so what is the catch.

Thats not a catch, that's and optional extra. I would never buy new skins.

I want to know if they want a sign up on their forums, a free email address to sell, a tonne of adware installed... etc

The 'catch' is that it's funded by advertisements.

Also, i am expecting some nvidia advertisements e.t.c on the side of vehicles lol
Haha that would be cool. It's on my doggdar. I think it will be a fun game, I like the idea of this new "cartoon" graphics genre of games.

It's this phenomenon Freemium.
Just like QuakeLive's going to be (at least that's what I think).

Aha, I have found some proof of money being involved. Found this on the video.
