Good news in the world of video games today: Fireteam Reloaded is up and free for use on the PC. That means two things. #1. No need to email me and ask for Beta keys like I have a magical Beta key pot that never ends. #2. It is free to download, you tight-ass, so you don't have any reason to pass it up. The only question left is... What in the hell is Fireteam Reloaded? Well, here is a press blurb from the site to help you out.

Fireteam Reloaded, a team-based, multiplayer action game for the PC, is now available as a free download at http://www.pixelminegames.com/. Developed by Pixel Mine, Fireteam Reloaded combines fast-paced sports action with intense battlefield combat while using integrated voice communication. Fireteam Reloaded is the third game to utilize the Pixel Mine Store for its micro-payment technology.

*The initial download of Fireteam Reloaded includes two maps, three character classes, four gameplay modes and state of the art voice chat technology, that lets players easily communicate with one another to formulate strategy and taunt their opponents. Fireteam Reloaded also features a spectator mode that lets enthusiastic fans cheer or jeer from above and even drop items into the game from their spectator viewing platform.

Basically, blow stuff up. Some of that stuff may be your friends. Some may be stacks of Paris Hilton CDs. Some may even be that sock under your bed that has hardened. But, you get to BLOW STUFF UP and it is FREE. Yes, you did see the words "micro-payment technology" but you do not have to pay to have a good time... unlike sex with Paris Hilton.

Those commercials sold me, I'll give it a try. I do believe that's the first gaming advertisement that's ever encouraged me to fuck shit up.

OK so I have no idea how to get in the game. The only signup is a Beta Signup page, and that has a game dropdown bar whose only option is "Secondhand Lands". Assuming that was just a name mixup or some shit I made an account with that and registered, but I can't log in with that in the game launcher.


Guess I'll have to go back to fucking shit up in TF2.

I'm still waiting for it to download, so I have no idea how it works, but my login name is -- SURPRISE! -- Sharpless. So, like, play with me and stuff. Provided it doesn't suck, of course.

My favorite part?

The guy licking the other guy's head at 0:47. So subtle, but so rofl at the same time.

If it's free, it doesn't exist. Stop trying to fill our heads with lies, Ron.

Also... That's (not) hawt.

Okay, no one is actually playing this game. Which kind of renders it useless, considering it's a multiplayer game. Teh fail. :(

@Vanilla,

Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention but I look up when something seemed bizarre and saw the tongue slowly place itself upon the cranium. When I'm bald I wonder if anyone will lick my scalp. D:

Downloading now, you gotta get the Pixeljunk Launcher everybody, under "Download Game Launcher."

Yeah, if anyone sets up a clan or something, let me know. I'd really like to actually try this out, but I can't if there's no one on.

"fast-paced sports action with intense battlefield combat"

So is this anything like The Grid?

Nice on "beating a dead horse." And here everybody was thinking you were totally out of touch.
