I was a Counter Strike player (in the very distant past - must have been in the late 90's), then moved onto BF1942, BF2, Forgotten Hope and so on till IL2. Flight Sim slots in about 4 years ago...
The guys at NZOld Guns (mostly ex-DMZ guys and mostly over 30 years old) got into this and I bought it online $29USD. A fair few older clanners from BF1942 are also playing it, and as it's not too serious (Friendly Fire is off, it has to be really) you can't spoil it by being a tard (which CS is full of nowdays).
As it's not a game that takes itself seriously, you can't help but enjoy playing it. Think the "Incredibles" with guns, or any recent animated Pixar / Disney cartoon. There's a fair bit of sarcasm in it. The things the characters say and do are hilarious. It's like a continual round of explosions. Here are some pics...
The Pyro can be devastating:
Being a medic isn't always fun..
BUT there's is always a "bright side". As in oh well you suck and were killed but lets drag some obscure statistic and make you feel better!
