How long is the campaign? I'm at like the 10th mission or something (just beat that one that they have lots of rocket launchers in this closed bunker to the left, and you have to get to this area on the right to blow him up), and it's getting boring because everything is soooo slow ><
I spend more time watching the game load each turn than actually playing (well ok, I'm exaggerating, but those huge load times do add up)
I just got the game, but my understanding is the check command lets your unit look in a different direction then how your moving and aiming. In the dark modes, you don't know where your opponent's units are unless you can see them. So check let's you see if there is an opponent unit in the area, but won't fire on them or stop moving. I don't think it has any use for the "light" modes. I believe there are 55 levels in the campaign.
Also, there is a small wiki for the game, FS wiki and a community on reddit for the game FS reddit if anyone wants more info on the game.
Had to vouch for this game, it's stealing SC2 time, but it's great cause if I get over my apathy I could just leave my Frozen Synapse games till later. Simply love this game!
this game looks so cool. does anyone know if there is a large multiplayer community? thinking about getting it but don't want to if the multiplayer is dead or near dead
Well i have not played multiplyer yet (lol) but I can say that even playing single player your usually logged into the "online lobby" and im constantly getting challenged to games - you get a little pop-up notifying you, and the lobby automaticaly tracks your games. Since its turn based the game will tell you when the other person has moved and will send you a hotlink to play your turn. So its easy to have a bunch of games going at once.
I'd say the community is only getting bigger at this point, the game just came out.
Frozen Synapse is FREE! Everyone who hasnt tried this game out yet should do so now at http://www.humblebundle.com/
This game is very well made and is a blast to play with friends, so tell your friends about picking it up for FREE!
Checked the site, its not free for me.... :o Its 4.52$
It's not free, it's pay what you want. Which could be a cent if you hate small indie developers or have absolutely no money. If you pay more than the average payment of 4.25 you get some other games with it.

pay what you want to me = free. Trine seems pretty cool though actually, I may put in five bucks for it.

Pay what you feel it is worth to you. Remember, the money goes directly to the developers here. No publisher taking 90%. These are also small developers whos ability to make a next game at all rests on their low number of sales. A few hundred dollars can mean a lot to these guys. You have more reason to pay some extra cash here than you have when buying larger titles at the store.

Absolutely. No one needs to feel obligated to pay 20 or 30 bucks if they can't afford it, but even chipping a few bucks towards the developers DOES make a difference, since they get actually get all the money (or most of it at least).
Please, please consider paying whatever you can when it comes to great indie developers like these.

I've been meaning to pick this game up when it went on sale, it's on my steam wish list, but this is sort of like a sale. Thanks for the heads up guys..

You need to sneak up behind them
If you get in close enough, shotguns will take out machine gun guys, whetever they're waiting for you, behind cover, ducking, whatnot. Your units on the first level is also ridiculously fast. Just run around take them out in tight corridors.
I've gotten really hooked on this game. Multiplayer is so incredibly fun.
Its incredibly annoying though that a lot of players tend to ragequit on the last turn when you basically have 4 guys aiming at their last one, and leaves the game instead of just playing it out. 1/3 of my games for today are still in the list. Hopefully theres some kind of mechanic in place that sorts stuff like that out eventually.
