A free trip to space courtesy of Shattered Horizon photo

Want a free trip to outer space? Of course you do. All that's required is a handful of that Astronaut Food stuff. Thing is, the shuttle you'll be taking runs Windows Vista/Windows 7 and needs a DirectX 10 video card for some reason. Why? Because science, that's why!

The dehydrated paste isn't for eating; we've got plenty of tasty food up here. We just wanted to make you spend money on that crap. Anyway, Shattered Horizon will be free to play this weekend on Steam. Also happening during the Thursday night through Sunday block is a sale.

During that time, the multiplayer shooter will be marked down to half price. Suhweet.

I bought Shattered Horizon on sale for 5 dollars, can't compete with Tf2 for online time.

Shattered Horizon is great, everybody who can run it should pic it up. There is a new free map pack that is going to be released that will double the amount of maps in the game from 4 to 8. Buy it. Play it . Love it.

Shattered Horizon is a tech demo of an interesting concept done mediocre. Worth maybe 5-10 bucks, not much more.

Wow, those are insanely high requirements. 8800GT minimum?!

Ha, I just realized that this is the first PC game I can't run on my computer since I bought it. Although it's not like Arma2 has any business posting it's minimum reqs so low.

Also, artha14, XP is like 9 years old. Time to upgrade buddy.

Oh god. I hope this means that there are more than 2 people on the servers this weekend then. I don't like being one of a handful of people that can play this game(and on a laptop no less).

Sweet, I've been wondering if my PC can run this at all. Free weekend + sale is just what I was hoping for.

This game is awesome fun when you get a full server. It's more so a tactical first person shooter. You have to watch every angle, use different weapons like ice grenades to cover your tracks and confuse enemies, use explosive grenades to burst enemies away from you, emp grenades to disable enemy suits. You can also run silent by turning your suit off which makes you invisible to enemy scanners, but slows your movement and completely muffles your sound.

There are a lot of really cool elements that all work really well once you get used to everything. Don't spray, take 2-3 shot bursts. When sniping, always stand on something, never try to snipe while floating. Use the "anchor" key to hop from point to point; this is great for escaping enemy fire.

It's a really fun and unique title, and well worth the half price that it will be. I urge everybody who can play it to grab it!

Also, mourning orange, this game is made by Futuremark, and it's probably the most well optimized game ever made lol. If you can't run it, it's not their fault.
