I have it, but have not played it much since release. It was fun enough that I did not refund it, but it didn't stay installed during my regular "sweep" where I go through and prune games that I'm not playing. I probably only played for half an hour or so total over a period of a couple of days, but as you know in that game that's a lifetime of play! lol I don't remember my best time prior to uninstall, I think it was under a minute and a half. The times some others were getting was amazing, they must really be practicing and finding next-level tactics. I couldn't get inspired to stick it out long enough for that, something about falling off an edgeless plane bugged me. I don't mind them in something like a Rainbow Six or Far Cry game when you're dealing with shooting on cliffs, or ledges, but in that game lots of reverse strafing is necessary so the map design (or lack thereof) annoyed me too much to spend a lot of time on it. Maybe I should revisit someday.
