Shadowrun (360, PC)

[CaptCommy]

I really hope I'm not the only person immensley excited for this game. For those who don't know, I'll go over the basic premise. It's a team-based shooter, kinda like counter-strike, and before every round you pick two weapons (pistol, katana, sniper rifle, assault rifle, smg, minigun, rocket launcher are all the ones I know), and three powers. Now, these are not sissy powers like in War3 CS. No no, they're fucking amazing. Teleport, Resurrect, gliding, healing, turn into gasesous vapor and become invincible, a sort of force push, see through walls, fucking SUMMONS and a few more (at least, a few more they've announced. Might be more in the end). Also, there's four races to choose from with different benefits and such.

Really, I'm just excited to see a game like this where they don't hold back the crazy ass shit. That everyone the second they pick up this game will get insane powers and be capable of doing crazy shit. Me thinks it'll make for some very, very interesting fights.

Not too bad. They kinda (i do mean kinda) try and stay to the original game. Althought these "poewrs" is kinda lame. It should all be based on career path. I.E. deckers have computer "powers" trolls, orcs, and other meta humans have some inherent powers based on their race. The other ones should, as I said, be based on a career. Street samurai (the name for a freelancve merc iirc) have cybernetic implants, mages do.... well, magic. And no, you can't have a cyber'd up mage, the world it's based on rules state having cyber imps kills you magic ability, permanently.

Do they have Physical Adepts? I remember those guys having fun abilities from what little Shadowrun I've played.
