Don’t Let the Limecat Fool You, This is One Kick-Ass Free-to-Play First-Person Shooter

Kotaku - Do you miss the early days of first-person shooters, when everyone was pretty much equal and the little guy had a chance of coming out on top?

Until MLG gets some older people IE older than 20, Its gonna struggle, especially with all the Awkward Nicknames they give each other GOROBORT45, KIlldeathRatio, Just use your last names please...I personally think its this stuff (and the age of the players) witch is making MLG take off slower than it should be..That and the games they promote, I mean I'd rather watch COD, StarCraft, or UMVC, over any F2P FPS...But that's just me..

GameBattles is a great way into the pros if you're good.

MLG and clans has ruined online gaming IMO.

Normal people can no longer have fun and do good online with these people that sit and play all day 24/7 and are inhumanly good at games
