As Schafer's link shows, Shadowrun is most definitely a franchise. And the term franchise isn't strictly linked to video games. The amount of books published, the card game, etc. etc.

I take it you cant get achivements in bot matches?
What the **** is going on with the servers? I have no problems getting into games, but I have yet to have a game today that actually finished. Worst thing is, I have achievements lined up for each game and I can't get them. Do your kills actually register when that happens or is all of the data lost?

Viral Marketers don't have to play the game after they're released.

Got my Ressurector and Elf Bane achievements tonight. I'll be playing quite a bit more tomorrow since it's my day off. See you all online.

Just finished a match...game is kick ass! Very fun and has a lot of depth. I'll definitely purchase this come payday. This game is really well balanced as no one character type has an advantage. The game ran very smoothly online and the maps are huge! Also, the lack of respawns is negated by the resurrection spell, which is a must in team play.

Still loving the hell out of this game. I'll go so far as to say I wish this had the backing Halo has. I LOVE Halo, played the H3 beta day in and out but damn does it feel like the same old thing (not that it's not perfect as is). Halo 3 feels great but the equipment is the only thing new about it. It's cool what they do...but 3 or so peices of equipment in a level pales compared to all the different equipment/magic setups in this. I'll also say this is the first game to make me want to get the acheivements. It's probably a lack of leaderboards making me go for them, though. Hopefully once the beta is done more people will jump on the Shadowrun band wagon, I've been telling as many people as I can because word of mouth is gonna sell this. Reviews...not so much.

How can you not "like the balancing" in this game? I am constantly figuring out little balance quirks and smiling at my discoveries. Like last night, we were basically a team of elves against a team of trolls and I kept getting frustrated because they killed me so quickly...then I remembered the AMA and realized I could strike back hard and frustration stopped! 
XSamu said:Probably there is.
But hell, most people haven't even played those old games, so who cares. It's a great game really fun (except...... are there no Dutch people playing).
I played, but because I'm not a big fan of it I'm not playing that often. Feel free to add me to your friendslist though, Vash483 is my gamertag. And yes, I'm Dutch and let people know that all the time (especially in the Overlord topics, Dutch Pride baby, yeah!!!..... Or something like that

AMA? Are you referring to the anti-magic generator or what do you mean? Just wondering because the trolls give me fits, too...
Oh yeah, AMG then.sk3tch said:AMA? Are you referring to the anti-magic generator or what do you mean? Just wondering because the trolls give me fits, too...
Whenever the other team has troublesome trolls, I just replace regular grenades with anti-magic now. Works wonders, at least if you surprise the trolls. (If they see you first, you're probably still going down first if they're carrying a minigun...)

alright got some games going FINALLY and i couldn't stop... played for about 2 hours straight and had to pull myself away. I'm not a big FPS person but i like this game. It's so sad that this game lacks even general FPS features because the gameplay is great.
question, do you have to get all 100 of whatever acheivement in one sitting or is it secretly keeping track of how many elves/trolls/ etc i kill?
i love playing as dwarves

dwarf + shottie + smoke = major troll ownage .
I believe someone else on this forum already said it , get the dwarf behind the troll and start draining him while others lay down some fire. Takes them out quickly all the time.
Sometimes i just sneak up with a katana and slit their throats

Does smoke + dwarf's mana draining work at the same time?
I like to play with elf + vision + teleport + gust.

QFT.
It's simply amazing that they made this 100% online game with no leaderboards, no stats and no character customization. And the only excuse they use is "bo bo bo we want you to work as a team and to stop cheaters". :lol
So to stop cheaters you punish everyone else instead of instituting good anti-cheating code.... :|
I love what I played so far of this game (forza 2 has me hooked at the moment) but some missing aspects the game reek of developer lazyness.

It has to be a budget/time thing or something. Geez...the game has some serious polish and balance in the gameplay department but then it lacks in about every other area. :lol
I think the 6 or 7 out of 10 reviews thus far are very fair. Even though I LOVE the game.
sk3tch said:
I like the game too but... I dunno, it's just quite the weird experience.
It has gameplay features of 5-6 years ago, but modern gameplay conventions.
It feels like a game that was developed in 6 months but tweaked and balanced for two years.
All I know is if MS charges me one cent for DLC I'm selling this game.

Holy shite, i guess all the negative stuff posted about this is from people who havent played the game. This is pure aswome class fun this is going to have alot of legs for me its just so fun to play and tactics could come in great if your on a good team who talks.
