It's a UBI game alright. Possibly the most HUD and icons ever in the history of action games.
I've seen videos with even more HUD. But didn't want to bother looking for them. There are some early vids where the top left screen has all kinds of red and blue square icons. Not to label all the minions on the battlefield, but more like MP icons to see who is alive or dead..... or something like that. Or maybe it was flag capture icons.Interesting. This is the first time I've seen footage that was like that. I hope there is a way to go hudless.

Three maps, three modes and three characters. Doesn't sound too shabby for an alpha demo. 12 gigs in download size.
Got an invite to the closed Alpha. This weekend. Bring it.
They also have a combat manual up in the alpha forum.

I just hopped on to see if the servers were up, but they are not. It must kick off at 2pm instead.
Yep. I'm sitting there now and it's saying they aren't available yet.
I've been reading the combat manual and damn but does the combat sound complex.
Well this is hands down a day one for me. It's great. The combat is heavy and vicious and complex enough to make some victories feel very satisfying as you hang on with a sliver of health. It's all about tactics in this game. You don't want to end up facing two hero enemies at the same time but equally you want to have at least one partner when you take on their heroes. There is a very steep learning curve here.
There are loads and loads customiztion options for look and feel and improvements to weapons and armour. From the look of it there will be micro transactions in this for purchasing packs so I hope it doesn't turn into a pay to win type game.
I posted a couple of executions in my feed on my gamer tag if any one wants to take a look.
What do you do in this game? Run around hacking enemies to pieces?
