Alright, I need you to hear me out. You can play this game as an fps, with some codes. Im pretty sure if you put into the console: firstperson, and controls 0, it turns into an fps game, very much resembling republic commando. I thought the top down was fine. But i just like FPS games more. Nevertheless, it is made by Valve, so it is a good game.

Old game that stands the test of time. Good to play with friends. A quick tip for anyone that wants to play solo: Go into your settings, and click the check mark for Console Usage. Probably has a different name than that, but whatever. Then, press ~ to open the command prompter. Type in "asw_ignore_need_two_player_requirement 1" This will make it so you can play alone, and believe me, the player base maxes out at...

It feels like a flop when it's not, obviously it's a standalone tech demo that has been officially abandoned. but it's actually fun and it at least deserves a workshop update so players can keep this game more alive

Used to be great and active game back in a day. Not sure nowdays, but i'll rate it up. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
