Just when we thought we'd be stuck in London forever, Hellgate Global took us across the world to the ravaged vista of Tokyo late last month. To celebrate the good times and charred corpses all across virtual Japan, the resurrected MMOFPS is bringing a set of new challenges for players to overcome.
For those who scoff at curses and camping out on top of primitive burial grounds, Hellgate dares you to activate your Curse of Dawn mode and attempt to take out Imhotep and Anaksunamun. Those who do so will be on the receiving end of rewards beyond imagination. Also, in-game currency.
Other challenges heading into the game include a guild battle system, and the return of Boss Time Attack. It's not all work and no play, as players will enjoy bonus supplies, free gifts at specific levels, and XP boosts. For a limited time champion monsters will drop lucky coupons, which can then be exchanged for rare items. These will only be in the game until the end October 15th, as luck can only last for so long.

Is anyone playing this? Any good?

@epilepticemu I tried playing with two friends and encountered bugs that made it too much of an annoyance, mainly network code not syncing. It was okay as a single player game. Not too hard. Plenty of loot drops. Diablo with guns.

I played it when it first came out and it's not a bad time waster. There is no really challenge to it... the mobs are pretty dumb, but I haven't leveled all that high. Some of the boss fights to require a "strategic withdrawal".

I'm curious as well, having wholeheartedly subscribed to the original. I loved my Engineer and her huge cannon. I saw a Youtube video review of it, and the gameplay looked nearly identical to what I remember. Might have to give HGG a shot, if they haven't locked everything I did like behind a new cash shop. >_>
