The free to play Evolve is called Evolve Stage Two and in for all intents and purposes a different game than Evolve. It has a dramatically different meta, design, and an in game currency system. Before Turtle Rock was ready to officially relaunch it as Evolve F2P, their contract with 2k expired and I guess the retention numbers were not good enough for 2k to renew it and have them continue, so development on the game is now officially done. A shame it never came to consoles, it solved a lot of the problems that whiny CoD kids had with the game but still kept its large skill gap and learning curve.
It's a great game for anyone interested in playing the MP. Just gotta learn rhe mechanics and hope your teammates know wtf they are doing. Interesting that they are giving the Ultimate Edition with all the DLC. Usually these games are the base games and they want you to buy the DLC. I'll check out Layers of Fear too. And I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one but co-op Borderlands 2 will be fun. Pretty good month.
