Doesn't really interest me for a few different reasons. I'm not really a fan of shooters(barring borderlands, sometimes CS can be fun), so it takes a lot to get me interested in one. Mostly a unique hook, but this games 'hook' is blending melee combat with shooting. Sounds cool, but balance I'm sure will be an issue or melee will be an after thought.
As far as story goes... its a generic shooter(it looks like it will play like COD) so who really cares about the story... the multiplayer is what makes those games good. I mean, don't get me wrong... the game COULD have some amazing story that will make me want to play it, like The Last of Us, but that game still took me like 2 years after its release to play simply because shooters generally don't make it to the top of my must play list.
I touched on it before, but balance could be a huge issue in this game. Hack and slash is awesome, shooters can be awesome, blending them might not be so awesome. I kind of picture myself running at some guy who just shoots me three times and I'm dead before I can even whack him once. Lets say it takes more hits than that and you're supposed to do something like shoot at one another and then switch to melee once you close the gap... I dunno... still could feel weird. I'm kind of reminded of a game called Gunz the duel or something like that from back in the day. Took freaking forever to kill anyone and led to some boring gameplay after your first few hours.
All and all I'll be waiting a while before I consider getting this game. Its going to take a lot more info and the actual release, reviews, and maybe even a demo to get me convinced to pick this one up. I might be being a little stubborn, this game could end up being a game of the year candidate, but honestly... it looks like its going to be a turd.
