Now, before I say anything about this trailer for Transformers: War for Cybertron's multiplayer, I ought to slap a huge disclaimer detailing how it all looks neat in theory, but could be crap in actuality. Yeah -- I'm still playing the role of skeptic when it comes to this game.

The main surprise here -- or maybe it was already known and I haven't been actively searching? -- is that there will be classes complete with customization in terms of weapons, abilities, and kill streaks. You can even paint your Transformer whatever color you'd like!

Seems like a weirdly natural blend, if you ask me. Definitely not something I would expect from a Transformers game, which is most definitely a complement.

I was going to let this slip by but the MP is looking badassery.

Third-person-shooter multiplayer is tricky, in my opinion. Very easy to fuck up. I like the CoD-like features though, and it should be fun having epic air-and-ground battles with Transformers, even if the gameplay is less than ideal. The target really isn't that hard to hit; we don't need a bulls-eye.

I'm hoping this ends up being this year's out-of-left-field game. You know, like BioShock, etc.

Those are some high hopes, WarZombie. I'll admit though, that trailer was put together well. It's a shame that games with online multiplayer like this will be dead within a weeks time.

You really shouldn't be able to colour your character except in deathmatch. You should really be limited to certain colour schemes in team based game types.

Colour me intrigued. And hot pink, because evidently that's an option.

The lack of an "Iphone friendly" video player on D-toid is disheartening.

Oh God, why do i want to give money to Activision so badly for this WHY? WHY?!?!

don't worry about it. Activision will find a way to fuck this up. Assassin's Creed DRM with a 60 dollar price point and...then they'll fire half the staff afterwards.
