There's torrents for both the trailer and the mod itself. Linux users are catered to as well: the ZIP package contains a shell script-based installer."

    If you want a game like that, play co-op in pretty much any other FPS out there. The whole point of this is to be an overhead squad-based tactical action game.

    Sort of like a real-time multiplayer X-Com.

    Downloaded and played through the tutorial and first campaign level. It's very well done. A little too easy to roast all of your team mates with the flamer though...did that the first time I got a hold of it.

    The top down perspective makes things feel like there's something around the corner but you can't quite see far enough....but it's beeping at you..gah!
