Looks interesting, and for 8 quid probably worth a punt?

Introducing the first military shooter with enough destruction to change the very nature of multiplayer combat.
Breach is a first-person multiplayer shooter in which you can crash ceilings on opponents, create murder holes, disintegrate cover, punch holes through floors, blow out walls, collapse entire buildings, and so much more.
While most first-person shooters don't include any kind of cover system, Breach mixes its unique Active Cover system, which lets you attach instantly to cover, pop in and out of cover, blind fire, and more, with an environment in which virtually anything that can be used for cover can also be destroyed.
Break free from environments that stay the same every time you play. Breach arms you with dozens of real military tactics that are not possible in any other game.


Key features:

• Destroy Almost Anything: Welcome to the world's most destructible battlefield, filled with all sorts of nasty new tactics to use against your opponents.
• Active Cover: Attach to cover instantly with the push of a button and then use cover to gain advantages against opponents -- even while your cover is being destroyed.
• Unique Real-life Spy Equipment: Use real-life spy gadgets, like a Sonic Imager that lets you see what's on the other side of a wall and a Sniper Detector that finds campers lying in wait for you.
• Lots of Variety: Includes five levels, five game types, 23 unlockable weapons, 13 perks, plus dozens of attachments and gadgets.
• Hard Core Mode: For those who like to play the way real operatives train, Hard Core Mode, the Sole Survivor game type, and the highly destructible battlefield create one of the most realistic military experiences in gaming.
• Dedicated Server: Host your own dedicated servers if you'd like, complete with remote administration.

Looks good, especially for an indie game that only costs £8!

There's an entry on Metacritic, but no reviews as yet:

It will be interesting to see how it rates once the reviews come in .

i was talking with someone on XBL last night they suggested not to download it

So probably a good idea to wait i think

 

[V_R]

They give a reason out of interest?

 

[TriplexDread]

yeah he said it was absolute cack.

however bare in mind this guy spends most of his waking life playing MW2

 

[V_R]

lol, he plays MW2 and has the cheek to call any other game rubbish!

lol, to be fair though MW2 isn't so bad on the 360, i mean them console gamers have never played on a proper server have they!? The lack of dedi's on the PC version why i have a bit of a hatred for it.


I did actually pick this up last night, only had a real quick look at it. If you expect a CoD/BF game then you will be disappointed, it seems more like Arma etc, more slower and 'real' i think.

 

[TriplexDread]

is it worth the 8quid though?

"Breach is a first-person multiplayer shooter in which you can crash ceilings on opponents, create murder holes, disintegrate cover, punch holes through floors, blow out walls, collapse entire buildings, and so much more."

So its like Battlefield: Bad company 2? In the sense that the maps become barren wastelands after all the mortar strikes and tank shellings?
