As of now, it only says July 2002 :)

Hey, E-XBox...that kinda surprises me because you are a big fan of Halo. This game seems "Halo-like" in a lot of ways to me. What's your reasoning in not even desiring renting it?

Geez, gentlemen! This thread has been open for a couple hours now! No more people can atleast comment on this? This game is looking sweet, in my opinion! :D (Basically, this was a long sentence to bump this thread! Hey, I admit it!!!)

Okay, here's some more info that I got from Xbox.com:

Welcome to Gun Metal. With the last of your outer defenses breached and the enemy moving ever closer, only one hope remains. Standing 30 feet tall and equipped with an arsenal of devastating weaponry, you command the Havoc battle machine that can transform into a fighter jet in your quest to liberate the planet of Helios.

Freely transform from powerful robot to nimble jet fighter
Walk, run, jetpack or fly over a variety of breathtaking landscapes

Extensive armory of spectacular and devastating weaponry

Completely interactive environments: crush rocks, fell trees, tear chunks from buildings and raze entire settlements to the ground

Take the fight to the enemy hordes as you progress through 25 diverse and engaging missions

The official website is located at http://www.rage.com/html/gunmetal.asp

Dudes..."interactive environments" is sweet! You can blow up rocks, take chunks of large walls and buildings off, blow trees out of the ground...so, the entire environment can be tailored to your liking :D!!

Not sure about multi-player, but, that would be sweet! It wouldn't be a deal killer, though...I'll still, most-likely, pick this one up in July :D

Sweet! The official website says June 2002, but, XBox.com says July...either way, the timing is close.

But, dudes! Check out the screenshots they have on the official website! I posted the official site just a couple posts above! Sweet!!

Hey Maximus. This game does look pretty sweet. But all the screenshots are from 3rd person view. Thats a bit odd.

I'm guessing the robot guy is in the middle, all the squares in the shaded area are enemies in his view, and all the other squares are enemies he can't see.

Hotshot was correct...atleast to what I thought...it's a three dimensional radar that shows what the landscape is. The red area are the radar images of the buildings and stuff....it gives you a perspective of the landscape and what lies ahead...pretty sweet idea I think!

I think the game is a third person shooter. I, normally, prefer first person shooters, however, if a third person shooter is done right, it can be equally as enjoyable. Also, I understand that there is a cooperative mode on this, too, in which you can have you and a buddy go through the missions together! Sweet!!! :D

I think the game is a 3rd person shooter as opposed to first person. If they pull it off right, this could be a sweet game!

Oh definately..this game is a "Must Buy" for me..simply because the game's entire premice is absolutely intruiging..the fact that you can use the robots jet pack to fly around, and also the robot can transform into a tyte flying jet!
Ever since i saw the preview for this game a few months ago i was going wild over it:cool:
Great Post Maximus:cool:
Dam...i wanna fly this jet..NOW!

I know what you mean, Gravedigger! The game is going to be sweet! It says that it's 1-2 players, so, I doubt there is mutli-player in regards to something like Halo's Slayer, etc...however, I am pretty sure that there is a cooperative play which would be SWEET!!!

I can see it now...I'm flying around bombing the enemies as my buddy is flanking them with a plethera of grenades and rapid fire coming out of the machine gun :D

GRAVEDIGGER
04-02-2002, 02:02 PM
Definately Maximus....a friggin plethera of grenades equals a firey death...and then they shall know that "Death is the only way out, and yet its just the beginning" -Gravedigger
**emitts a deep low laugh**
Muahahaha

lol..anyways the game is gonna kick some serious ass!!

Untill next time...:mad:

I hear ya, VenoM...I mean, check out all the new mechanical warrior games coming out. We have Gunmetal (this one), Tekki, and Mechwarrior....all look pretty sweet!!!

GRAVEDIGGER
04-02-2002, 11:55 PM
Well either way you put it, Gun Metal will be a force to be reconed with, unless Rage finds some incomparable way to screw it up!:confused: And also Tekki and Mech Warrior look great especially Tekki:cool:

Untill next time...:mad:
