    You're asking ngmoco if you can beta test Eliminate and Touchpets. Stop, they don't need you.

    The Eliminate icon's white background has been replaced with a black one;

    I think it looks nicer.

    Anybody else notice the steady decline in Eliminate?

    Then:
    - Eight Player Deathmatches (if I'm not mistaken).
    - Voice Chat.
    - No Ads.
    - Cost Money (Hey, I'd EASILY pay money for an FPS with all this).

    Now:
    - Four Player Deathmatches.
    - No Voice Chat (MIGHT be Pre-Friend Game Chat Room)
    - Ads.
    - Free.

    Anyone think NGmoco just couldn't make Eliminate what they wanted to make it, so they're doing this alternate paying system so everyone's like "OMG! This was FREE!!!!!" and not "Jesus, they promised us all this stuff! :("

    Don't you hate it when you post something, and then next thing you know a new page starts and no one reads your post?

    I hate that...

    ELIMINATE's lobby
    - Voice Chat - They said they figured out it uses up a lot of bandwidth and doesn't really make sense since games a couple minutes only. And it's a deathmatch... it will just be annoying listening to other unknown people.
    - There is normal text chat instead, that can be censored.
    - This might get them in trouble with Apple's approval team, since you can't control, log or censor voice chats.
    - It's not really a much needed feature for most players I guess since playing to music is way more fun

    - They have tested it as a four and eight player Deathmatch game. I believe that those maps are small and therefore do not offer much space for that many players. It would definitely piss me off to get shot every 5 seconds because of overcrowdings.
    - I believe it runs more smoothly with 4 players
    - It really depends on the size of the map...since we don't know that, we can't tell if it makes more sense... play with 4 or 8 players
    - There might be other technical aspects, like finding other players with similar skills would be harder with 8 players.

    So why pay for VOICE CHAT and FOUR more players. They have tested all sorts of different combinations and somehow ended up with 4 players. Since they played it for months now and think it's fun, I'ms sure they made the right decision.

    Well I saw it, and I understand the changes.

    It was probably much too difficult to put in 8 player multiplayer and voice chat without lag.

    And I don't care about ads or the price, I'd be getting it either way.

    You guys should get Warfare Incorporated first :D!! After a year later it has online multiplayer *not advertising >.>... really cool :D*

    I still want Eliminate, but i bought this game about a year ago and i was waiting for online multiplayer since forever..

    It's a RTS game and kickars too :D!! No lie!!! I hope to post a video after i get my new phone :p... It's not one of those bricky RTS games, it's the real deal like Red Alert exept 2D. There's also team against teams and there's waves. If you want to know who i am in the game

    it'll be shadowsfall :p
