I'm starting to dislike the word "leaks" being used in place of "advertised" almost as much as I despise seeing the word "slams" in headlines
It's how copros talk now, they saw "Leaks" are spicier than "Reveals"
It's just what they do, they co-opt our langauge and misuse it. Plenty of restaurants around here claiming their cheap menu items are "Hunger Hacks"
When no they aren't, as a hack would be a manipulation of loopholes to get a result not intended by the person who made the rules, a cheap item menu clearly listed is not a hack.

Deadlock sounds like the name of a no-budget indie horror game that would release on Steam for a dollar. Not a big budget Apexwatch or Overlegends or....whatever you call this style of game.
They're actually two different genres, team deathmatch and battle royale. This Deadlock would be the former.
Wikipedia says that Overwatch and Apex Legends are each part of the "Hero Shooter" genre (boy does that sound like an uninteresting genre). I'm guessing there are greater subdivisions of play structure that matches what you're describing, but it all sounds like an uninteresting blend of character based FPS, like multiplayer Borderlands. I guess that's where modern gaming is, though, since these really took off after 2016, which is solidly after my "hardcore gaming" days were mostly over.
character based FPS, like multiplayer Borderlands
That applies too, but it's orthogonal to game structure. MOBAs also tend to be character based and you can add it to basically any game (eg. card based rogues like Slay the Spire).
But there are also lots of battle royales without characters (like PUBG or Fortnite) and team deathmatch without characters like CS.
I'm not really understanding why this portrait looks this way... Is the black blob on the bottom left his bent leg? If it is his bent leg, what's the tan colored bit at the bottom? Or is the black blob some random giant pouch on his hip, alongside the other more pouch-like object on his hip? Is the bow being held close to his body (arm bent?) or does he have a short left arm?
So many questions...
I think he's wearing a skirt
Oh no, I hate this art and design style:(
I'll wait for the final release, Deadlock 2 /s
The only part of this that interests me is how they decide to handle anti-cheat on linux.
It's from Valve, they'll make sure it works on the Steam Deck.
Don't they already have VAC?
VAC is far from flawless
All anticheat is far from flawless lol
Valve’s
Oh?
hero shooter
Oh...
Eh Marvel's Hero Shooter looks pretty good...
Though why people are making Hero Shooters NOW when Overwatch 2 has outright murdered public interest in the genre, I have no idea.
I'm assuming you didn't enjoy Team Fortress 2 then?
TF2 was great before they increased the player limit (I think that was before it became free to play?). It was a hero shooter with strategy and synergy. It became a spammy farm fest with too many items and too many players for what the maps were designed for.
You're not op?
Is that a rhetorical question?
That wasn't a question, but statement. I was asking op whether they played tf2
third-person shooter
Oh.....

Sounds like the Team Fortress 2 team has been busy, but didn’t want to count to 3
They had me at tower defense mechanics.
They're surprisingly fun and I wonder why more team deathmatch games don't include them.
I used to play Tremulous and it was super addictive to live and die by your base elements. Gives the game a whole new dimension about strategy and teamwork.
Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that
I've never heard of it, did it serve as inspiration for Natural Selection?
Here is some gameplay (from the alien camp point of view). This is another good example of gameplay.
Apparently both Natural Selection and Tremulous were inspired by the Gloom mod for Quake 2, according to the Tremulous FAQ:
Development on Tremulous began long before NS was in the public domain. If Tremulous is inspired by anything, it is inspired by Gloom for Quake 2. NS has a similar ancestry (please see Game Developer Magazine February 2001 issue); this is probably where the confusion arises.
