hmmm very interesting hehe...I wasn't sure if anyone had this game, given the high price point of entry (it's damn expensive...luckily I talked to my wife and pointed out that I hadn't bought anything for myself really for a long time...she gave it the green light, citing that as long as I teach her how to play, it's all good...^_^). It was something I've been pondering for a long time, I guess 
I think something interesting about this game in particular, which is both a selling point and perhaps a reason not to get it, is that the guys who are into this seem really, well, fervent in their love for the game heh. You'll get a lot less casual gamers simply because it's expensive and so involving (and as CrazyMax put it unforgiving)...but the diehards have higher expectations...
Well if anyone gets it, drop a line here, maybe we could get a skirmish or two together...There's a couple of guys I know in my vicinity who will be getting it (for the first time...it's nice that they're rereleasing the controller bundle heh), so I'll drop off a review here after I get it next week, noting things about the game and the gamers who are into it...
Cool, back to work heh

Multiplayer gaming -- cooperative multiplayer gaming in particular here, offline or online -- makes a good game a hell of a lot more attractive to me. It's awesome when you've got the opportunity to join up with other players to work toward a common goal, especially if (a) you can contribute a different skill set than the other players, or (2) you can otherwise take care of other objectives that will help the overall objective. (Or, pummeling other characters can be fun too -- but I'll just focus on cooperative playing here.)
Playing Ragnarok Online in parties was always a hell of a lot of fun (even if the only goals there were to get from point A to point B, or then maybe take out the occasional boss). Rush 'n Attack was cool, as two players could take on two different platforms, or one could cover the back while the other rushed on. Goemon's Great Adventure for the N64 -- two players could really help each other out by piggybacking. And then there's Gunbound -- quick fun games, in teams and also against other players. (Oh yeah -- I hadn't mentioned the GMs somewhat fixed that hacking incident of mine, so I was back to playing it.) Actually, right now, I'm looking for other people on my campus who might be trying to get a 4P game of Crystal Chronicles going.
I unfortunately won't be doing Steel Battalion -- but I was thinking, once I get WinXP back in order on my end, that I might want to try getting together some cooperative games of jDoom (or other games that can run off the Doomsday engine), with largest teams possible. Or, a room for Gunbound for all the MMCafe players, or any other on-line games too which anyone is open to suggesting. (I'm still watching the free Planeshift -- the next release ain't out just yet.)
[And, as I had mentioned a few months ago, I was planning on getting back to Ragnarok Online about the time that episode 5 starts hitting, and it's getting close -- assuming I don't blow all my disposable funds on that HD I might need.]
