The game is due this holiday season and features:

-    A wide variety of alien enemies
-    Multiplayer deathmatch & team deathmatch modes over WiFi & Bluetooth
-    3.0 features:
-    Push notifications
-    Voice chat
-   iPod library access

We’ll of course update you when we know more. In the meantime, check out the video form the video presentation from the event, below:

    Gameloft is making a killing on cloning games. Why didn’t I think of this…

    Another FPS!!! i am sorry if i’m not excited about this but i have had enough. Every new fps says that its going to be better but i have yet to see a really good one to hit the aapp store. sometimes it lacks in content while other times the controls are bad.

    No more!! Hopefully this is going to be the one. fingers crossed.

    Why is there “revolutionary FPS” in the title? However, I hope it is great. 5 weapons doesn’t feel like a lot, they better be awesome :S.

    Actually, it looks like a Modern Combat: Sandstorm in the future. It could be cool!

    Anything remotely similar to Halo gets my money, want it want it want it now! Just finished Halo 1 on my old Xbox again, it is epic!

    so i wouldn’t even come close to describing it revolutionary. I would have never even asked to poll the people to see if it were revolutionary because, well, it isn’t at all. If it behaves like most FPS on a pc/xbox/ps then revolutionary for the iphone. I have been waiting for Livefire (or whatever it is called now) for a long time and they are prolonging to the point where it isn’t worth the wait.

    Release it now and beat the rest of them. If it matches FPS on the other consoles then it will be great. Otherwise it is a race to who releases the first mmofps.

    Gameloft described it as revolutionary, not me… i’m just quoting them in the title, hence the question mark!
