TL:DR version: Giveaway for people that have pledged money at TAKEDOWN: Hardcore Tactical Shooter:

Dungeon Defenders

Left 4 Dead 2 <-- NEW!!!! WE REACHED THE $200,000!!!! THANKS FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

Long version:
I've made this giveaway earlier and posted about it in the discussion about the kickstarter itself. Now that the deadline is getting close and the kickstarter page has been overhauled it is time to bring it back to your attention.

Takedown is going to be a hardcore tactical shooter. Pledgers that have pledged $15+ get a PC DRM-free version of the game upon release (and if it is available on Steam, a key for the Steam version as well IIRC) or a download of the console version upon release and with your copy of the game you get access to the PC alpha builds of the game. At $75+ you get a physical copy of the game as well as a t-shirt and at $125+ you get a collectors edition instead of the normal copy, which includes for example dogtags.

The PC platform has been confirmed, Linux and Mac OS support depends on the engine used. It will likely reach the X360 and PS3 as well, after the PC version has been released.

This is a game unlike Call of Duty, Battlefield or any other recent shooter out there: You can't run into the action, empty your gun and expect to survive. The game will reward the players with good tactics and teamwork, as you can and will be one-shotted. If your team member goes down, he will be dead and gone forever and you will have to compensate for that.

And now the giveaway itself, the rules are on the giveaway page too but going to repeat them:
You can only win if you have pledged to the project. Since the giveaway ends AFTER the kickstarter deadline (and no, the deadline won't be extended) there is no point into entering the giveaway if you aren't planning on pledging and haven't done so yet.

If the $200,000 target has been reached, I will open another giveaway, same rules but with Left 4 Dead 2 as the reward.

So pledge money if you haven't yet at TAKEDOWN: Hardcore Tactical Shooter and once you have pledged money, feel free to join this giveaway Dungeon Defenders

Thanks for making me look at this again. The new video is much better.

Ended up pledging a dollar. Not my kind of game, but I admire that he took all the criticism to heart and produced a much better version of the video and page, and that's worth some minimal support.

Nah, you obviously can't lie about something like that with this thread bumping up on the front page (I imagine it will)

Guess so... And it has been online for over a week by now and I mentioned it back then in the topic about "Crowdsourced Tactical Hardcore Shooter" which was the old name...

Would have thought a better choice of giveaway would have been Rainbow 6 or something, but okay. Won't be entering as I a) own DD and b) can't afford to support right now, which makes me sad, but you have my full support for this sort of giveaway.

I just picked a fun multiplayer game I already had in my inventory. Yes, a game like Rainbow 6 would've been a better option if I had it... But it is the thought that counts ;)

Hope the kickstarter makes it. I'm not a big fan of the genre, otherwise I'd pledge in a heartbeat. I'm still thinking about it though... just can't decide if I can afford it right now.

so this is like Quake: Arma 2 edition?

That would make for the best mix ever. I'm afraid I can't back the project, my credit card's international function expired, sorry.

However when I validate international support again maybe I'll buy TAKEDOWN. My geek spirit is overflowing with so much win.

It'd be a shame if someone who didn't pledge won the giveaway.

Yeah, we're at 85% right now... Need $30,000 more. It shows there is a significant interest in the game though which means there is a viable and likely profitable market out there (which is the main aim of the kickstarter).

Good job, by the way, there's a good chance they might not have made it without your efforts.

Thanks but I think 402, Notch, TotalBiscuit and so on have made a bigger impact than I have :)

Holy cow, it was successful!

That was a surprise as when I last checked it about 40 hours before it ended, they were still like more than 10k away.... Great, looking forward to it.
