I know a lot of people are cautious of 'pre-release' games, but this is one that seems to have a lot of potential. Just think of army men, soldat, and diablo, somehow had a baby. This would be close to it. I bought the game within half an hour of trying the demo, which is still available, and it's only 73MB, located: here http://www.modulaatio.com/runningwithrifles/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/270150/ http://runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com/Running_with_Rifles_Wiki What is this, you ask? Lazy verbatim copy-pasta: Pick up your rifle and join the Greenbelts, Graycollars or Brownpants in their mission to send the enemy home in a box! RWR is an open world, top-down, tactical shooter for single player and multiplayer online, that puts you right in the middle of chaos in towns, trenches and forests turned into ruthless battlefields, controlling just one soldier in an army of several hundreds. Current features via 'early-release'
There's more features planned, including extensive modding support, of which there already is some. Are you a Warhammer 40k nerd? Go here. Yeah, there's a mod based on the 40k universe. I can imagine there will one day be some zombie poo poo, and other WW2 based mods, and probably some spacey age poo poo, too. Game modes http://runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com/Objectives_and_game_modes Currently there are four base gamemodes.
In addition to the gamemodes, each one will have side missions so to speak in each, occurring at random. Seek Be the eyes of your faction, perched up on rooftops or hidden deep in enemy territory. Spot vehicles and structures that will appear on the map for your whole team, until destroyed. Destroy These targets of opportunity provide strategic abilities to the owning faction:
Rescue These targets will grant a one-time influx of veteran soldiers upon their destruction:
Capture & deliver Deliver these assets to your faction's armory to improve its arsenal:
Rank and experience http://runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com/Ranks,_experience_and_scoring You also level or rank up your character, in either campaign, or on a specific server depending upon their consistency settings, which range from match to forever. Personally I don't know what match is, I've never seen anything other than forever, including on my server. Your rank will dictate a few things:
In addition to rank, there is also RP, or resource points, that you use to call in strikes/vehicle delivery/AI squad paratroopers. http://runningwithrifles.gamepedia.com/RP_or_Resource_points List of things that give you RP:
Screenshots and a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2KBhLf0Omo        Here's a server list for those interested in multiplayer, which is pretty straight forward ingame, too. I have a server up based in Atlanta, and the other popular server is in the UK.

Got this back when it first came out on steam. It was fun, but have they actually added much to the game since then?

There's some new vehicles, more weapons, and the gamemode invasion? Also, AI improvements. The last update was mostly ai and pathing fixes, as well as to vehicles and map issues. The next update I think will include more vehicles, including technicals, helicopters, and some other crap.

I just picked this up today and I'm really enjoying it. It really hearkens back to the old glory days of Soldat, which I loved. Hopefully theres some kinda multiplayer scene with this, since I can see that being a ton of fun.

I'm playing this with my friend and it's a lot of fun. The enemy AI is smarter than I expected. I hope it gets more popular, never really heard of it before I saw this thread.
