Downloading from the UK server, getting 80-100kb.
There is a USA server up for download now.

Well I played through 4 rounds on 2 maps, the SGC Lockdown map and Abydos. Played both sides and all classes. Has a lot of potential but I need a server with better ping. There was only 2 servers up, both Steamfriends and both are EU servers. I had a ping of around 140-150. Game was about 70% smooth, but I can't give a good review till a US server comes up.

Figures I would see this right after it finishes.
Update: Just played a few rounds (I think theres only 1 server up) and I like it. Large detailed maps plus the objectives cause the rounds to last a while, which is one of the reasons I don't play CS.

Downloading now, looking forward to this
Steamfriends has a US server up now, I played with about 18 people. Game was meh. I think now I can give a legit review.
All my lag issues were due to high latency. With a nice low ping of 68ms, the game play was smooth, and with everything on high an 4x AA, I was getting over 40 FPS, so the maps seem well made.
Now gameplay wise, the staff, wrist, and Zat weapons take some getting use to, but you'll quickly get the hang of them. There rate of fire is different, but I feel it's accurate. Grenades are done pretty well, they are effective and the stun ones work decently. The objectives could use some work though. They are not fluid, and not easy to follow.
Compared to a lot of other mods I've played for the source engine, this was disappointing. It just doesn't have fluid gameplay. The release feels haphazard. They didn't even have the config file set for key maping. So you had to manually map all the keys minus the standard wasd and mouse controls.
Also from reading the forums it doesn't seem like the devs are going to be putting a lot of more time in this, they have other projects they want to work on. I just wish that mods would post their source code, because then others could pick it up and go. There is a whole heck of a lot of untapped potential. If I knew issues would be fixed and the gameplay would be more fluid I'd be all for it.
I think comparing this to the Insurgency mod is almost a fair comparison. It took a long time for Insurgency to come out, and when it did, it was great, but there were some bugs, week later patch came out and the game was damn near perfect in terms of being a mod.
I had hopes, and well they just weren't met. I'll keep watching and waiting though, with some playing.
