Couldn't find anything mentioned in this thread about how it was the _simulator_ he was demoing, not an actual device... Big difference.

Apparently, I signed up to be notified if they ever released them for retail sale and got no updates, except for a "we're first offering them for sale (for a limited time) to employees" email. Nothing since.

Really.

My personal fave, though not exactly an arena-style FPS. Its a fps/rts combo, and it has a steep learning curve.

But, its freeware, has clients for win/lin/mac, and reasonably well populated servers. Plus, a new community developed client is in the works.
