Ok, this game cough my attention as it has cartoonish animation & bright colours like TF 2.
Has several class to play just like TF2 & BC2. Worth taking a look:

^Trapper aka sniper class trailer on Gametrailers.com

There are 4 class to choose from:

@Trapper:



Armed with a powerful hunting rifle, the Trapper is a master of long range sniping.
- Long range and very high damage.
- Uses bear traps to immobilize enemies.
- Radiates the Criticals synergy effect.

@Deputy



An expert at delivering high volumes of accurate fire, the deputy is deadliest at medium to long range where he can make good use of his repeater carbine.
- Main weapon is a repeater carbine, effective at medium to long range.
- Tagging trait. The player can tag enemies as targets, providing valuable recon and support for his gang.
- Radiates the Damage synergy effect.

@Gun Slinger



The Gunslinger’s speed loading large caliber revolver is most effective at close to medium range. He is proficient in fanning, a shooting technique that increases rate of fire at the cost of reduced accuracy.
- Armed with a versatile heavy revolver.
- Remarkable rate of fire due to his fanning technique.
- Radiates the Accuracy synergy effect.


@Blaster



The blaster wields devastating short range firepower with his double barreled shotgun but is ineffective at long range.
- Carries a double barreled shotgun, extremely effective at short range.
- Throws dynamite sticks, the wild west version of the hand grenade.
- Radiates the Accuracy synergy effect.

each of this class has their own strength and weaknesses.

the only let down it does't have a dedicated server support at the moment

it using the old fashion way of client side hosting, which the player who host the game must play. and when the host decided to leave the game. then everyone else get disconnected

Deputy




Blaster




Gunslinger

no daddy support? fail.

i had noticed this game over the weekend as there is a pre-order sale at Steam. i was really looking forward to a Wild West shoot-out but having no dedicated server is a big minus.

it's also being released on xbox360 and ps3. here's a link to gamespot's review from the recent GDC.

EDIT: found this info on dedicated server after trawling the dev's forums. there are plans to include them it seems..

Damn,no dedi.

Looks like a nice game.

and it using matchmaking system to join game.

might buy it and try out the beta this week, hopefully there will be australian server to join

Dont think mid-rigs can run this. On the other hand, TF2 can run on almost any rig.

One thing that I find that's lacking in L&G is that, the classes doesnt seem to have enough utility skills. I've only seen the Trapper aka snipper to have bear traps which can be really useful.

Steam selling at USD13.49
it's quite cheap lol tempting

I think this review is quite good, unbias.

nice review, everything looks perfect except the non-dedicated server.

the game is fun, only manage to play 1 time. lack of low ping server

Seems to be good but then we're lacking of Dedicated Servers , otherwise I dont mind setting it up and getting it to work. I'll get it whenever steam is having promotion

There is a review for Lead & Gold for this month's PC Gamer Malaysia.

Score is quite good, 83 out of 100.

7.49 usd....not bad

got linux dedi server or not?

from what i read in their forum, some guys already try it , but failed.

i just knew this game has big player base in Australia, is that mean we can play the game without lag? :|
