Yea, can't wait for this. This is bigger then GTA IV to me anyway. Lost planet is one of those games that you love or you hate. I think that alot of the people that didn't like it never really gave it a chance.

One cool thing about planet was the people that played it online. It seemed like since most of the little shit faced brats where playing Gears, that LP rooms were much more mature. Most of the people on my friends list is from when I was playing Planet.

There is still alot of people playing online. I thought post grab was by far the best online mode. No better feeling than to fight your way to that last post and take it as time runs out.

Lost Planet is a 3rd person shooter so it's not for everyone. Also with the roll and shoot and the graple system you better put some time in to be good at it. Also in this game you lose points if you get killed, so run and gun will just put you at the bottom of the list at the end of a match.

I popped it in the other night when I saw some of the old crew on. Had a blast. I still say it's the most fun of any online shooter out there.

I concur with this statement. LP is a great game, too bad I haven't actually bought it yet... the rental was good fun though.
