Someone gifted this to me, but there's never anyone playing, though it seemed cool.

A shame.

Bought it for 6 bucks, it had great potential but was ultimately ruined by some mechanichs.


In particular, newbies commanders kill the game for the entire squad.

This get frustrating as you lose for the fault of someone else.

Ranked servers, matching and similar features were requested but never added.

Bots were later implemented to practice but they were too dumb to make difference.
