    So far it does! Ive bin playin on and off, brings back some old memories thats for sure. Same play style, much better graphics. Some new classes too i think. But the amount of tokens required to get a new class is absurd unless you pay actual money...

    Even better about the patch, they fixed the strange hang ups you get while skiing.

    Just got in, pretty excited.

    Edit: A good deal of fun, and pretty true to core gameplay. The stations feel a bit awkard since I am not sure what to spend my credits on because loadouts are bought a different way. And buying classes seems a bit gimmicky. *meh* On my second game, I got 3/5 flag caps. Was a blast, I miss games like this.

    Edit Edit: I have 3 beta keys, pm me if you are interested.

    Pretty fun!

    Snipers seem super easy but other than that the game is a lot of fun. Gotta get used to skiing again and not holding down my jump pack heh.

    Pathfinder (Light): Less damage, easier to land snap snots
    Soldier (Medium): Good damage, slightly slower disc
    Brute (Heavy): Highest damage, slow disc

    I enjoy playing Heavy D and O with the Brute. I have finished a few times with the most kills.

    Probably not. I played yesterday for a couple hours(probably more towards 3 or 4) and I have 1500 tokens already.

    Once you get your skiing down its super easy to grab flags and cap. I got a grab going 198 yesterday and was able to cap in 20sec heh. More medals = more tokens. Plus winning seems to add ~ 20 of em.

    Out of keys, try other members. They "should" have some.
