I believe the guy FranchisePlayer who was @ the Team Up confirmed that they still don't have a normal fade/ceaser in the game. Anyway, this looks like an interesting and fresh new approach. I'm anxious to try it out and see what the experience is like. I really liked when they released the Combine as a "demo" which tied into the full game. Was hoping for something like that but I'm game for the new look. Let's go! 2Kaaaaaaaaaaa...!
